Despite three wars, thousands of killings and a 12-year long Israeli siege, Palestinians in Gaza have found a way to smile at life. We check out 5 places in Gaza that show you a different side of the war zone. #Gaza #VisitGaza #Palestine
That’s what you get for lying and saying that it’s an open air prison where everybody’s starving for 75 years and using that slander to try and hurt Israel
and it doesn't seem like they are occupied by a brutal, genocidal and inhumane occupier as most people claim... life was beautiful in Gaza , if only hamas didn't ruin things up
@@JTCFC1 No way half are hamas soldiers. It's 40000 out of 3 million. That's a little over 1% of the population that has died, which is absolutely catastrophic. That's ~35 times the percentage killed by Covid.
i know... just like the remaining hostages.... gazans you had such a beautiful piece of land, but you chose war over peace, violence over reason, and you got what you asked for, so don't cry now.
@@faridshahid1833 this is a war not covid. Of course there will be more deaths. Yes I agree it’s tragic, it’s heart breaking… but for the poster to indicate that everyone in this video is dead is just simply alarmist. There is no way to get an accurate number. Hamas says it’s all civilians, Israel says it’s 1:1 ratio. USA says it’s 1.5 civilians to 1 Hamas. Either way I cannot confirm what it is, but yes it’s very sad.
@@davidradovsky5354 all of them were civilians, 25k of them were women and children, the rest were men who are civilians not hamas members, did women and children engage in october 7th?
You didn't see him going through any checkpoints in this video, but don't worry they were there...also, if you visit Beverly Hills, it doesn't mean skid row doesn't exist...he was trying to share the nice things about Gaza...he showed a cute display by a beach, a port to fish, a broken fountain, a college, a simple mall jewelry store, a port, some trees, a mosque, and a place on top of a mountain to see a nice view...you think that changes the fact that settlers do whatever they want and have killed Palestininans, harass them, get to take over their homes and kick them out...because someone's trying to show some nice spots and add to the narrative in their home town that is known for war and death and displacement etc....? Genuine question. Also, with respect, worth checking out and commenting on Netanyahu who says they're will never be an Palestinian state, who didn't want Arabs to beat out Jewish people in voting, and accidentally revealed he wanted to prop up Hamas in Palestine and have them take over so he could attack and clear out Gaza of the people there. Worth checking out for sure, but keep criticizing this guy and his broken fountain in his city inviting people to come. Genuinely mean that too, not being sarcasm, but I hope you reflect on both sides equally and really look at those illegal settlements. When Gaza is not being bombed with enough bombs that equated to Hisroshima...it did look like a nice/better place for sure. I definitely agree it was a nicer looking open air prison where their water/electricity and import/export gets controlled by Israel like they have admitted. May we all get healing soon to get through this bloodshed and misinformation and apathetic views. Peace yall🙏🏿
@azminahshall8871 Well said dude. There is so much background to this, pros and cons on both sides, that I personally have difficulty supporting either side. Unfortunately though thr innocent people gotta pay most of the price. Unfortunately there is propaganda on all sides, just like with most topics (eg. Russia-Ukraine war, pandemic, etc.). People tend to stick with one POV and news source and are not even able to have a two-way conversation.
Wow just seeing this video in May 2024 after watching so much devastation. Look at the joy and beauty in Gaza! 😢 Praying for peace. So glad this video exists as a reference point.
@@ar71498you’re mad that Palestinians are making the best of what they have? I dont get it it quite literally is an open air prison and geta bombed every couple of years. Maybe you should read a book
They made most of the life they had under the brutal occupation. Are you actually going to pretend like there were no daily raids and check-points through out and unwarranted arrests ? No arresting children and keeping them in prison and abusing them?THE whole world knows the reality now so nobody will fall for your lies any longer!!
@@IshayBen92 lol the "defense" part is the most laughable thing. Defending yourself from what? You cannot steal someone's land and home and call it "defending yourself" when they resist and react to the injustice that the israeli government is known for globally.
@@nf9407 first, we didn't stole nothing from no one. Historically, those lands are belong to the Jewish people. Just for the discussion, most of them were bought with money and recognised by most of the countries in the world. for you question, from what we need to defend ourself. from extremely religious terrorises that believes in death for the Jihad war instead of enjoying their life.
- Had the highest unemployment and poverty rate in the world -No Currency (has to use shekels) -No Port or Airport Allowed - Exports banned and economy controlled - Elections manipulated by Israel Can't leave or exit without Israeli Permission You Zionist gotta be the most negative iq people, how are you basing gaza on one video? If I look at a video of an Israeli Slum like Hatikva, can I then call it the poorest country in the world?
Theres a difference between being blockaded in your own city and theres a difference between having your city flattened and civilians intentionally targeted after being told to evacuate. The latter is genocide
Your fascetious comment doesn't disprove the reality of Gaza being a walled-off concentration camp with a blokade imposed on it by an occupying force that can switch on and off the water and electricity whenever it wants, that prevents Gazans from fishing or farming, prevents Gazans from leaving... The fact that Palestinians continue to try to live and lead as normal a life as possible despite their circumstances is testimony to the human spirit and their grit, ingenuity and strengt They had a social life in the ghettos during the Nazi period - they made an effort to continue living as normally as possible... Why should it be any differnt in the 21st Century? Humans will be humans, they'll continue to try to live as normal a life as possible
Another stupitt comment by israhelli bot proves his intelligence level have u ever lived in gaza? it's their achievement despite being seiged, blockaided controlled by israhell they still managed to build their city beautiful like that unlike you unintelligent creatures who only knows violence.
@@spacetimeaboodmaxwell931 sending all love for you from Israel. I hope you know everyone here consider the Palestinian Arabs our cousins. We need to learn how to live side by side as family.
@@powerhousegreen2754 Thanks buddy❤, one day we will coexist in peace together and I think its soon. I agree with you we all should learn the fact that both Jews and Arabs have lived in this land for centuries, makes all of us deserve to live here side by side as family supporting one another in the pursuit of a brighter future rather than engaging in useless war that will result only in more humanitarian crises and misery for both of us. Sending me love to you, Jews and Israelis.
It would help if you mention why you was flattened because of the long history of terrorism and the brutal massacre on Israel. So why don’t you look at yourself and blame your own Hamas government
@@NewYorker8312 another stupitt comment by israhelli bot, 76 years of brutal opression and occupation by israhell which israhell started in 1937 with massacre of Palestinians and still going now stop lying.
@@goboing wow... seriously... Your gonna go their.... Pissrael are the kings of propaganda with the Holocaust museums & Hollywood movies being shoved down our throats relentlessly... 💩🇮🇱😷☣️
that good side is long gone, they bombed it into oblivion. no safe place, no clean food, aid cannot reach most, ambulances cannot reach 99%, hospitals are not enough, supplies are gone
So you want to see them live in a slum looking miserable?? The Palestinians make the best out of everything it's called resistance incase you don't understand jeez moran
He didn’t show the illegal settlers kelling people and kicking them out of their homes nor the checkpoints. It’s a positive documentary. By the way a European PRime minister called it “an open air prison” So it must be true.
Yes it is. By definition it is a concentration camp. Do you struggle understanding things? What can’t you understand. Do you know what a concentration camp is?
@@anafernandez3096Well if u think about Hammas did because 70% of Palestinians support Hammas so if Hammas murdered over 1200 Israelis in their country...Who started this, Ana? La cabeza es para pensar no solo para usar sombrero ...She wasn't clever ...You are too dúmb to figure out.
@@MehWhatever99you only saw few clips of the beautiful time, because Palestinians try their best to live normal lifes, dont act dumb and educate yourself
@@meow-xn8mt I’ve seen plenty of photos and videos. There were poor, rundown areas, sure. Like any big city. But there were plenty of prosperous areas too. People traveled in and out of Gaza every day too. When the war started there were foreigners there on vacation (mostly visiting family). Also people with other citizenships that CHOOSE to live in Gaza. Don’t act dumb. Educated yourself.
I am from Israel… so sad to see this after the war. It bring tears to my eyes. I wish that the attack on 7.10 didn’t happen, that so many lives could have been saved. I wish that we all Israeli and Palestinian could accept each other and live together in this land without fear. I hope that one day I could go visit there.
@@JuanIsHigh lol! Calling 'colonizers' to others rather then Zionist is like calling killer to rat rather then lion.... The Jews who are in Israel are more from other countries then to Arabian. Their own identity is unknown
@@Sahabnik-504This false narrative, that Jews stole the land from Arabs is ridiculous!! The land never legally belonged to Muslim Arabs at any point, stop telling yourselves these fairy tales - the land was ruled for thousands of years by different empires, and a mixture of different inhabitants lived there: Muslim Arabs, Christian Arabs, Jews, Druze, even small groups of Armenians and Circassians. The Jews received permission from the United Nations to establish their own state in 1948, just as the Arabs also received such permission to establish their own state, and could establish it already in 1948, But they decided that only Muslims are allowed to live in the Middle East and started a war of 5 armies of Arab countries against the Jews, in order to ethnically cleanse all the Jews from the entire area! Are you aware of how many times the Palestinians have refused peace proposals and the establishment of their own state since then? After all, Gaza is a multi-billion dollar business, They receive insane amounts of money every year as donations to "refugees", so why should they work hard and build their own state? Well, has all their violence over many years, along with their victim mentality, taken the Palestinians to a good place?
Well, they have no control over their borders, airspace or coast... they can't leave without permission from Israel... Israel control the food and other resources going in or out... every now and again "mow the lawn" by bombing... so yeah, as beautiful as the Palestinians made it, it wasn't free.

Reading the description made me incredibly sad. We don't even know if any of the people in this video are alive, and to see Gaza and the entirety of Palestine wiped out slowly makes my heart ache.
لا تسبوا إسرائيل لأن إسرائيل هو النبي يعقوب عليه السلام، ومعنى إسرائيل هو عبد الله، فلا تسبوا إسرائيل ولا تسموا دولتهم إسرائيل، سموهم صهاينة👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
! This breaks my heart. Bisan probably went to university here in Gaza. There were coffee shops, universities and hospitals in Gaza..... NOW thanks to Israeli government and military fighting with Hamas, the resistance government they wanted to control Gaza in 2006.... it's rubble.
@glooo777 We've been told that palestinians have been living in open air prison for 75 years lol. Doesn't look like that lol. Palestinians always like to play victims so that money 💰 flows from all over the world 🌎

Yes, it is an open air prison. Majority of people will never be able to travel outsidemof the strip. Israel controls who is allowed to enter/exit, including the Egyptian border. Israel controlled how mucb electricity, water, food is allowed to enter Gaza, and they made sure Gaza would receive just the minimum required to survive (read about Israel calorie count). Electricity was available every 8 hours, meaning you have electricity for 8 hours, then no electricity for another 8 hours. And by the way these resources were paid by taxes collected from the Palestinian Authority
@@rohsnaoks1587then no it’s not. It’s a militarized zone. Not an open air prison. NK is an open air prison. See how those people live compared to these. It’s night and day
@@Erika-qk6bd a prison in Norway is one of the coolest place to live. Yet, it’s still a prison. It’s a place where you’re put in to strip you of your freedoms as a punishment.
Ever heard of West bank, it fits everything perfectly. Illegal settlements, bullied in their own land, can't have anything without permission and being threatened on daily basis by settlers. Is there Hamas there? Is there any "terrorists" there? And yet they still are killed for nothing. Like gullible lambs on relationship with the wolf, that is PLO and Israel.
Yep. If you can only get out of it by the impossible permission of a hostile government, then it still is a prison. No matter how well the people inside it manage to go through hardship.
@@koubaasofien9264 must have missed that bit about the guy from Norway. Anyway plenty of them moved to America, Australia, Europe, etc. Always see them in all the major colonial cities protesting.

This dude is so charismatic, I love his energy! He should make all the official tourism videos of Palestine! Really amazing to see a side of Gaza we never get to see. Beautiful :-)
@James F. Taylor African tribes are all the same?? which tribes? Africa is a quite varied DNA continent. West and south Africa had little contact outside Africa for thousands of yrs, while north Africa, is no the Mediterranean sea, ppl there are DNA and history in common wih the rest of Mediterranean ppl (e.hg. Spain, France, Italy (Rome), Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel) East Africa, the Horn of Africa in special, mixed a LOT with the Middle East (many there have more Middle East DNA than African). BTW those are the most beautiful Africans (if there is some universal sense of "beauty"). Most of them have smaller noses, less curly hair, lighter skin color. etc
@@empress2423 ya ya cute snarky remark. As if the land of Palestine stayed uninhabited until the all mighty European Jews came to make it prosper. Ya keep believing this false narrative.
May allah throw a piano on ypur head.. there are many of innoceny people in gaza who don't deserve the life they live but the fault is not Israel, the full fault is on crazy and terrorist people like Hamas who know only terror and killing even their own brothers in Gaza. And also on people who do not know how to build a country with all the time and money they get and prefer spending it on rockets and fake propogands.
@@davidsalcido383 Bro he is a Indian Muslim..so obviously u will get comment like that ....but u can't just decide that his view is the whole india view ...we Indians and mostly Hindus think that both Israel and Palestine should co exist...we think both the community people should involve in to happiness with each other....may god bless Israel and Palestine....

Just because Palestinians made the best of what they had does not mean they weren’t living under occupation that was subject to bombing every few years and has now been flattened with no consequences
@@wheelie642 True, they were doing just fine, had problems like any other country but most people were doing fine. Hamas and their supporters, like most political extremists, are never happy. They had to go and provoke israel, and now they are trying to make israel look like they are in the wrong when who started this war was hamas. attack ANY country in the world like they did to israel and the reaction would have been the same.
@cutwagman maybe ask WHY people say its an open air prison. Because Isreal blockades them. The fact that Isreal can cut off their water, food and fuel is the defining example of WHY Palestinians have no real sovereignty.
1. They can`t leave. 2. Clean drinking water is a serious issue 3. I$rael is deciding how much calories they consume. 4. Unemployment is more than 45% (2022) You right, that ain`t prison. It is worse. @@wheelie642
This video is a gem of the remaining beauty and memories of gaza, insha'Allah when Palestine is free they will be able to rebuild all they had, and live an even happier life.
one of the things to do in Gaza is a tree. A tree. Which probably isn't there anymore. This guy is trying to promote his homeland. You are such a fool.
It is they can’t leave until they have valid reason they can’t trade without Israel permission….. they have no controls in water they only get 3 knot miles where un regulations is 20 knot miles…. Only by Rafah border they can’t trade but it’s heavily influenced by Israel’s
@@monkeyb1820so u like to enjoy full freedom to travel and leave but not them even also fun fact if they have family members in the West Bank they can’t see each other so stop Supporting the Zionist pigs just because u hate Muslims
@@ariellamiriam6980 how could you even be happy stealing a land and killing it's people. Israel is as weak as a cockroach. It only gets money from america. Those type of states will surely parish like the ones before them. Didn't you guys forget what hitler did?
@@ariellamiriam6980 hamas exists because israel exists. It is defending us. You guys are worth nothing. You are just there to live, while when war occurred, most israelis wanted to go back to their country, no one is willing to even fight for his country. How pathetic. Israel will parish. Everyone knows it.
Open air prison means the place is blocked by land, air and sea by Israel. They had an airport but Israel even bombed that in the early 2000s. You really thought you did something there dumbass inbred
Essa Kaouri Well, if you realize that Gaza is under occupation, I admire this guy for his positive attitude and for letting us see a brighter side of this beautiful city. I wish Palestinians see the end of the occupation soon and can enjoy their lives in a decent way.

Unrwa, Amnesty and so on, have been talking about how miserable Gazans are for decades. They even use the word concentration camp. It doesn't seem that way now.
Wow. How beautiful! Never knew all this before.. Also, it was so cool listening to that Egyptian guy.. His accent and Egyptian humor were really very obvious to me from the beginning.. :-D
I may be Jewish, but all I want is for Israel and Palestine to unite, for peace and one beautiful country, Ive got Palestinian friends, who know I'm Jewish, but they don't mind, I don't mind they're Palestinian, Jews and Palestinians are such nice people, I just wish we could unite, unfortunately the world is so stuck up this will never happen
come on. I'm not jewish, nor muslim, and do you wanna know why you think that. cause you're still innocent. with age you will understand peace is not something very profound in human nature
Thanks for this positive video. And yes, I have been in Gaza 3 times and besides the drama, which is everywhere, I really enjoyed myself. The people are really friendly and the city has real vibe.
@@ilovepalestine4983 yes it is very difficult. It has to go through a recognized relief agency. Entrance has to be requested well in advance. You have to be cleared by israeli intelligence and even if all has been cleared you can still be refused for whatever reason, which they will not tell you.
@@ilovepalestine4983 Even if you have all of the clearances, you can still be refused at the border crossing at Erez. Everything and everyone that is going in Gaza of who is getting out, will be checked thoroughly. You can be left many hours waiting, sometimes even days or refused completely without any explanation. When you fly, you will be treated as a potential enemy by the Israelis. You will be questioned. You might have to strip. You will be judged and picked out of lines. From Tel Aviv you need to find yourself an Arab taxi driver. The Israeli ones often refuse rides to the Gaza border crossing. You need contacts in Gaza. You can not just visit Gaza as a tourist. It is completely closed of by Israel and controlled by Israel. And if you could go there, often the border closes because raids and bombings. I am from Belanda ;-)
@@abdurahman2969 this ‘yard’ seems more like a functioning society and not a playpen like an actual prison. Once again ‘open air prison’ is loaded rhetoric that is dishonest
