#Gaza #Israel #Palestine #GazaCity
That's the nicest looking open-air prison I've ever seen.
No such thing as an "open air" prison, LOL
And the undeground tunnes and missiles Launchers are beautifull, all made with UN carity
nicer than west virginia ...
ok random dude on the internet. You sure have a knowledge of a minute and thirtyeight second video.
Out of respect for the souls of children lost due to the aggression of the occupation, it is better to observe silence
You close your eyes to the fact that the residents of Gaza cannot leave Gaza, and that Israel controls water and electricity in Gaza, negotiating with civilians and cutting off their needs whenever the occupation desires. You do not understand the meaning of occupation.
Long live Palestine
Palestine will become free
was it an open air prison or just a city? Looks more liveable than places I have visited in America
Everything looks better than an American city
Tidy and clean, but still a prison. Remember, the vast majority of people there were not allowed to leave the city.
Sharing border with Egypt so no open prison case.
@@damirhatunic4588 Not really, They were not allowed to travel into Israel. It is a different thing.
Don't believe everything you hear, especially from professional victims
Best anti-Hamas video!!! Gaza before 7. October looked pretty developed and nice.
That's what I thought.
The gaza people made it livable
Best anti Israel video!! The lies that Hamas uses all its money to build tunnels is a clear lie. What is true is Gaza is a small space where 2 million people are crammed into and are locked and aren't allowed to leave because their borders are controlled by Israel.
@@giorgiopollini8527rightfully so.. that’s how that works..
Yes you brought it to the point.👍 Best anti-Hamas video!!!
So in other words, the description of Gaza as an open air prison was a lie. It was actually a pretty nice place until Hamas got it destroyed.
@@BukuiZhao i see it as a very expected action cuz the war didnt start at 7th october.. israel attacked gaza before countless times.. was that also cause of 7th october?
Omg 🤦🏻
@@kirwatt Again, the actual cause of this whole conflict is not the 7th of October. Instead, it is decades of Israeli occupation and oppression on the innocent people of Palestine.

What? Open air prison? Concentration camp? Appartheid?
This video pokes so many holes in the narrative
Easy to say when you ignore the fact that they can't leave, and their supplies are being controlled by Israel.
Wow what a beautiful "prison"
It was nicer than my city!! and I'm in the free world!!!
Beautiful souls make their space beautiful. It's called " prison" because unlike us they can't leave Gaza without permit from Israel
@@romanaashraf9267 i think u discovered a thing called borders

Hamas got 10 billion$ from Qatar in the last 2 years!
But most of the money and resources went to build terror tunnels ,weapons and rockets.
So this is how a city looks like when you choose terror over peaceful living.

@@JESUSist-GOTT Hamas is only to blame for the acts on the 7th of October. Even though their acts were unacceptable, this does not justify Israel's genocide against the innocent civilians of Gaza.
@@BukuiZhao lol “ genocide “
Gaza from 150k to 2.2 million
West bank from 330k to 3 million
So what genocide?
@@Jewsfrommars First of all, what Israel does in Gaza is beyond any doubt an ethnic cleansing campaign, and thus a crime against humanity. According to UN, ethnic cleansing is _a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas_ , which is precisely what happens in Gaza. Cutting off food, water, electricity and fuel, indiscriminate bombing campaign that has already killed 1% of Gaza's population including 8000 children, forcibly displacing 2 million civilians and talking that Palestinians should move to Sinai is exactly that.
Secondly, as for genocide, that is for international bodies like ICC to decide, however, a serious case for that can be made. According to UN convention genocide is _a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part_ , that "in part" bit is why Israel's action in Gaza may very well qualify. If you want a legal opinion, then few days ago Luis Moreno Ocampo, former ICC chief prosecutor, said in an interview that in his view Israel's action qualify for a criminal case for genocide. Moreover, on 12th December 2023, International Federation for Human Rights, a federation of 192 human rights organisations from 112 countries, described what Israel does in Palestine as an "unfolding genocide". Will that suffice as example?
I don't think hamas thought that one through

Let's make this very clear: Gaza was never an open-air prison, unless the existence of borders between Gaza and its TWO neighbouring countries count as prison. "Refugee camps" are built-up neighbourhoods where the grandchildren of refugees live. There are no camps in Gaza. There was also an abundance of food. 30,000 workers crossed into Israel daily, where they had jobs. Indeed, most of the population was poor by Western standards and the people lived under the oppressive regime of Hamas (not Israel). Nonetheless, half the world would happily live in the conditions the people of Gaza lived under until October 7th.
First of all, the land called( its not real ) wasn’t even in the maps before 1948, The so called people of light ( noting but pure darkness in their hearts as we saw) stole it from its rightful owners by creating massacres, ethinc cleansings, and genocides ( Dont take my word for it because they confess this in books, movies , gatherings ect. Secondly , you have zero right deciding what the living standards of anyone should be . Thirdly , when organisations like the UN, Human watch, amnesty international just to name a few say that Ga za was an open air prison then everyone should listen. Supporting (its not real ) even after we know about all the lies they told is simply bigoted. There were no rap ed women, no be headed babies and they confirmed kil ling their own people in the music festival. The IDF has proven to be the weakest , inhumane immoral army that ever existed , not to mention to the most disgusting since they ware diapers by their own admission.
Lets just assume you have no idea what horrendous conditions they actually live in because you are sitting typing this from a place of privilege, that they do in fact have ok conditions to live in. They are however not recognized or enabled to be a sovereign state, their supplies are controlled, they are not allowed to leave by air, by sea or land. They literally dont have enough water as all of it is controlled by israel. Being in an 'open-air-prison' doesn't means it also has to look like one.
Normal Finkelstein proves you are a wicked liar.
I couldn’t say it better, but it’s actually more than half of the word. Notice that for some time they also got free electricity water and cellphone calls from Israel. Of-course hamas then sell it and charge money from the citizens.
how could have gaza and west bank never have been an open air prison if they were under oppression, constant surveillance and various lynchings by IDF for over 70 years? have you never seen the horrors of the nakba (which happened BY THE ISRAELIS before hamas even existed)
But wasn't it said to be the "world's largest open prison ?"
Yes, dunce it is an open-air prison doesn't matter if you believe.
People cant leave or enter, and they cant control water, food, or electricity. So yea. Open air prison.
North Korea is the largest open prison
you seem to be missing the point but its ok i didn't expect you to be that smart anyway

Not saying there aren't issues which I do believe there are, but doesn't this video raise a red flag as far as their narrative is concerned?
@Terranova339 yes, you can leave. During the attack there were Gazans learning in Tel Aviv university tuition free. Many gazans would leave and return the step all the time
I thought it was an occupied outdoor prison. 🤣Can't believe anything these P supporters say; usually turns out to be a lie.

Em 07/10/2023, um grupo de covardes terroristas pertencentes ao Hamas invadiu o território do Estado de Israel, avançou em uma festa onde pessoas estavam divertindo-se e começou uma série de barbaridades como poucas vezes tem sido constatado. Só no local da festa, foram detectados 260 cadáveres, pessoas mortas pelos covardes terroristas do Hamas. Em continuidade aos atos de covardia, sequestraram muitas pessoas, transformando-as em reféns; aliás, é uma das características dos covardes fazer reféns porque não se garantem sozinhos. Além de matarem, inicialmente, 260 pessoas, estupraram mulheres, bateram em idosos, torturaram e decapitaram crianças.
É claro que o Estado de Israel deu início à natural reação, inclusive para ter acesso e resgatar as pessoas sequestradas.
Como é do conhecimento geral, os covardes terroristas do Hamas têm suas bases em territórios palestinos, onde se escondem em túneis ou esgotos, bem como geralmente se estabelecem nas dependências de escolas, hospitais e outros locais sensíveis, com o claro objetivo de inibir a reação dos atacados. É uma maneira de usar o povo palestino para seus objetivos cruéis e desumanos, ou seja, manutenção dos reféns em condições degradantes e humilhantes. Os palestinos não só apoiam e permitem a presença do Hamas, como também deram ao grupo terrorista vitória nas eleições parlamentares. Em síntese, os palestinos são fiéis ao grupo Hamas. Logo, sofram as consequências das atrocidades do Hamas.
O Estado de Israel, obviamente sabe onde se abrigam os covardes terroristas do Hamas e deu início ao ataque em território palestino, inicialmente ataque aéreo, não antes de alertar os palestinos onde iria atacar. É claro que muitos civis morreram, inclusive crianças. Ninguém que esteja na plena posse das faculdades mentais iria esperar que o povo judeu permanecesse inerte enquanto os reféns estão em poder dos covardes terroristas do Hamas.
Mas, por incrível que pareça, a chamada "turma da lacração" está, a todo custo, tentando atribuir ao Estado de Israel a responsabilidade pelas consequências do conflito e o título de genocida. Ora, quem invadiu o país alheio? Quem sequestrou, matou, estuprou, decapitou crianças e espancou idosos? Foi o Estado de Israel? NÃO, FOI O HAMAS. O Estado de Israel está querendo apenas resgatar seu povo.
Em uma rede social, perguntei a um jovem o quê ele faria se alguém invadisse a sua casa, estuprasse a mãe, sequestrasse o pai, espancasse um idoso e decapitasse uma criança. Não obtive resposta do detrator do Estado de Israel, até porque a resposta é óbvia.
Está certo o sr. Benjamin Netanyahu em não aceitar os pedidos de cessar-fogo, enquanto civis sequestrados, de maneira covarde, ainda estiverem em poder dos covardes terroristas do Hamas.
Tenho para mim, com todo o respeito, que quem critica o Estado de Israel, quer criar polêmica para aparecer. Ou talvez só use a cabeça para usar chapéu e separar as orelhas.
Imagine a world where you notice the filter but not the ruble
Ah yes, lowering the saturation because it suits your agenda
But even then you are showing that it never was a prison like y'all said
Hamas are monsters for letting this happen.
gaza was backing hamas-they knew exactly what was going on and allowed it-their chickens have come home to roost
Their faith started it.This is the result of their own doings.

Hamas went hunting on October 7 nd they came back home with this
Isnt this the risk you expose yourself to when you resort to violence?
Diplomacy and compromise could have prevented all this.
It looked quite alright before the war. Potentially some of the Palestinians regret attacking Israel now. From these images it seems the "open air prison" was quite agreeable after all.

Yes, as many had argue, if all the aids money has been used for building the infrastructure and economic development projects, Gaza would be like Singapore, a vibrant metropolitan city! But it goes to into the pockets of Hamas top leaders and the building of the tunnels. While the Gazans lived in poverty and these top leaders lived in luxury. Yet many accused Israel of being a apartheid state and Gaza a open air prison. It just showed the “poverty” of knowledge in these people who accused Israel.
Hamas is responsible for all this
Ahem ahem, who was responsible for displacing thousands in Palestine? Israel.. go read about the nakba
Yes
Its bad, but this is what happens when a governments military terrorist organization hides under a city and says they will continue doing raids into Israel until there is not Israel to speak of. War is horrible, but all of this is hamas's fault. Surrender and this ends, but no, they won't, so it will not end.
Did you not see how israel lied saying that there are hamas names in a chart even though those were arabic calendars? If israel was right what was the need to lie about it? If israel was right why didn’t they documented the tunnels underneath the hospitals that they raided? Which is the only thing that would prove their accusations

It seems unnecessary too. The surrounding area is in such ruins that the balcony and plants make it obvious they're playing tricks.
They definitely did not balance the exposures for comparison.
Right, trying to downplay how nice it was before and how terrible afterwards.
Bro theres dust everywhere ofc it looks more grey.
I dont think he used any filters

As a Palestinian young lady said on a video : " We long to return to our previous life, that life we were complaining about because we found it boring, but that wasn't bad after all". A clever girl...
There are too many buildings still standing
What has been destroyed is more than enough to show the whole world your true colors.
Wow it was such an open air prison. Luxury hotels, beautiful beaches, universities, more “hospitals” than Manhattan, an amusement park, ten TV stations, greenhouses, parks…20,000 lucrative work permits. What did I forget? Oh yah billions and billions of dollars in aid.
Can't have it both ways...either it was a beautiful city or an open air concentration camp. Can't have it both ways.
October 7th is the result of this maybe everyone should of thought about it
Yeah and the nakba was the result for the mass killings of children 🤷🏼♂️ think straight next time
This is a result of Isreal displacing the Palestinians in 1948, history didn't start on October 7th. Palestinians are killed every month of the year

The Guardian wants it both ways: "refugee camp" "world's largest prison" "innocent" population and at the same time, wants us to regret the destruction of a pretty seaside city.
Literally what I thought, They said it is a slum or an open air prison yet showing the "beauty" of Gaza now and before.
Weird criticism that doesn’t make sense
A prison could have some beautiful places nevertheless it is a prison and people can't get out of it and are under blockade by Israel.
It’s like they’re almost trying to present all sides of the situation.

Never start a war if you can't win.
The citizens are the real victims of this.

This is war between two country.

This was an open air prison under occupation? All prisons should be so nice.
Prison means you cant leave. No matter how pretty you made your prison look: you are still occupied, you are still not free to leave, you are still reliant on water/food/supplies/electricity from your occupier, and you have no militairy or police force. Do you understand? It doesnt matter how pretty your prison is, it is still a prison.
@@Terranova339 They can leave to Jordan Egypt IRAN iraq syria Afganistan from there they can go to EUROPE /NA
Prior to this conflict, the city appeared to be thriving, leading one to question why there were reports of dire living conditions. If we take an example like an Indian city, it's apparent that the streets of Gaza seemed comparatively better. It leads me to suspect that there may have been manipulation at play. If Gaza was truly doing well, there would be no need for attacks on Israel, citing misery. It's possible they were comparing their living standards to those of Israel and the USA.
which city in India is under occupation where you cant leave or enter without permission from a neighbouring country and also one which controls food, water, electricity. Imagine Pakistan was controlling all this for India. No matter how beautiful a city looks, it's far from the point. Would you like to live a single day under occupation?
@@FM1990FMyou are talking about the partial blockade initiated by Egypt and Israel after Hamas took over in 2007; but you mistakenly wrote "occupation" (Israel unilaterally left Gaza in 2005, deporting sometimes by force 1200 Israeli families).
You're welcome🙏🙂
@@nefaristo of not military occupation, then what is this. Following the withdrawal, Israel continued to maintain direct control over Gaza's air and maritime space, land crossings, maintains a no-go buffer zone within the territory, controls the Palestinian population registry, and Gaza remains dependent on Israel for its water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities. I am not even going to west bank where occupation is still happening.
So back to topic here, would you be ok if you're neighbouring country militarily controls you but your city "seems" beautiful?
@FM1990FM again, it's not a military occupation . Words are important (said as a non native English speaker...)
Egypt and Israel established a dual use goods blockade as a countermeasure to Hamas.
And evidently not enough to prevent the huge Gaza military effort, the tens of thousands of missiles and 500+ km of tunnels (and the sneaking in of informers about the most defenseless kibbutz and where their police were etc) .
They didn't even prevent the Gazans obesity problem , so it doesn't seem a very strict blockade.
Sure, Indian brain
you can really tell how the Palestinians lived in poverty in an open air prison from the before footage.. New cars, well maintained buildings, nice apartments, rampant obesity....
This is because most of the funds it received (higher than any other refugee group per head) was used for…wait for it…guess what…Terror
lesson to be learned dont start wars you cant win
Look how they played with the colors. Blue = grey. Green = grey 😹😹😹 nice editing
@@jaykline8550 close your eyes to the obvious. and what is happening there can only be addressed to the Hamas movement.
@@jaykline8550 Assume much?
hahahahhahhah exactly
Actually, that's somewhat expected due to the intensity of the bombing, dust and debris tend to accumulate in the air and once they settle it causes the environment to appear hazier and gray due to the layers of dust
Who would have thought MK40 bombs can destroy biological life including trees and plants? Man I love self proclaimed experts like yourself.
How surprising that the guardian news does not show the rocket launchers and Hamas parades in the "Before"
Maybe they have a narrative to support?

don't start a war that you cant win.
summarized the entire situation perfectly in a few words
Kid, the war started a long time ago with the blessing of the British in 1948.
Don't you guys know anything except moving your lips ????
Perfect reply...don't invest in runnels and weapon..invest into the economy..building hotel villa garden...
But think that its not in the palestinian brain....
Could have been even nicer if aud money hadn't gone into making tunnels
It’s their land they do whatever they want with it. No body is telling israel they can’t build tunnels on their land
yes for water & power
@@takkarwenja5982 It does not change the fact that if all the effort that has gone into the rockets and the tunnels had gone into building Gaza up, it could be like be like Beirut today.

That was a beautiful place that wasn't any open air prison! LIARS!
Look at the difference in the colour of the sky. The right side was manipulated to show desolation. Beware of any media
So let me get this straight, if there were bombs in a city, the sky would be blue? Is the city not covered in dust and rubble? Are you living in a fantasy land? I mean just look at the wtc before and after. Before was a bright downtown nyc now its just dusty grey nothingness

What a lovely “prison” it was. I heard the beaches and resorts were beautiful.
there were a lot of tunnels under all those buildings!
sez u
thats what war looks like the war they started the very streets they was partying when the Hammas went into Israel
Question is what did you done in october 7th ........RIP Shanie Louk.
The real question is what Israel done from 1948 to 2023?
To be fair Gaza finally looks like what Hamas and the libral media have been portraying it looks like all these years
Lol..
brilliant !
Prison..not ruins..basic english!
Before and after Hamas terror attack
They attacked in israel. Hamas is anti israel. It stupod to think they would bomb themselves. Its israel bombing hamas
What do you expect? Honeymoon spot? Tell Hamas to surrender and stop this nonsense.
Why Israel didn't surrender in 7th October?
Why israel occupied palestian land since 1948? Will you tell Israel to surreder, and stop stealing everything including people life.

These people CERTAINLY have it better than most people I know!!!Next your going to tell me they have A/C and heating!!!
if i give you a nice house with delicious food but not letting you to go out from it will make it PRISON or not ?
It didn't start on 7th of October, it started in 1948 when there was the displacement of Palestin people to set the robbers there.
But then were calling it biggest prison on earth
