Released reservist reveals: Poverty? What life in Gaza really looks like
Israel National News ^ | 1/15/24 | INN Staff

Posted on 01/15/2024 3:38:20 PM PST by Uncle Miltie

Channel 13 Journalist Roi Yanovsky, was discharged after 100 days of reserve duty, from the beginning of the war, and published a situation report on X, on his first-hand experience in the Gaza Strip.

First, he points out that while Gaza is considered to be a very backward city, the situation is completely different. "Gaza is seen as a failing area, the 'most crowded in the world' which has been under Israeli 'siege' for years. There is no bigger lie than this. Gaza is a modern, beautiful, and developed city - with large and well-equipped houses, wide boulevards, public areas, a promenade on the beachfront, and parks. It looks much better than any other Arab city, from the river to the sea. It is much more similar to Tel Aviv than to Kfar Qasim or Umm el-Fahm. Of course, it is very far from being 'the most crowded in the world.'"

"If it is considered a besieged city, let me live in a siege - the houses are bursting with products and food from all countries in the Middle East, the latest furniture, advanced electrical appliances, and much more. There are also magnificent mansions that would put Savyon or Kfar Shmariyahu to shame. There is absolutely no shortage of wealth in Gaza. Most of the houses I stayed in were much bigger than the apartment I live in, in Tel Aviv. The phrase 'if only they had a chance for a good life they wouldn't fight Israel' is simply not relevant to Gaza," he added.

For those who think that the citizens of Gaza are different than Hamas, Yanovsky clarifies otherwise. "The most common thing in homes in the Gaza Strip is a map of the Land of Israel - under the heading 'Map of Palestine'.

The biggest lie: Israel is committing genocide.

Palestinian population 2014: 4.07 million

Palestinian population 2024: 5.4 million

Whoever is in charge of this genocide is failing badly.

I noticed, when they were evacuating Gaza back in October, there sure seemed to be a LOT of shiny new vehicles in that convoy ...

Shiny new vehicles? Yup, seems to be. But my tourist map shows the whole Gazer strip has only four gas stations. It seems they drive someplace else to gas up. Real modern super metropolis, eh?

With all due respect, this does read like propaganda considering the source.

I pulled up google maps and clicked on major streets, but Streetview had no images of those streets.

A Google image search for Gaza clearly shows the price ordinary Gazans have paid for the hostage holding.

The palestinians vastly support the war they started:

“Over 70% of Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip support Hamas’ decision to carry out the October 7 Massacre and the vast majority do not believe that Hamas carried out atrocities during the massacre, according to a new poll published by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) on Wednesday.”

May they enjoy the fruits.

I remember years back when pictures were online of Gaza and the conversations then were “what a beautiful and advanced city” it was. Not so much different from pictures of any large US city or even Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. It was surprising to those of us who saw them.
