Overview

• President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video depicting Gaza as a luxury resort, featuring himself, Elon Musk, and Benjamin Netanyahu celebrating its transformation.
• The video portrays Gaza as a 'Middle East Riviera,' complete with a Trump hotel and a golden statue, while erasing the ongoing humanitarian crisis and displacement of Palestinians.
• Critics, including Palestinian officials and anti-genocide activists, have denounced the video as dehumanizing and reflective of colonial and white supremacist ideologies.
• Trump's repeated proposals to forcibly remove Gaza's population and 'clean out' the area have been condemned as advocating ethnic cleansing, with comparisons to historical settler-colonial projects.
• The video has also fueled online memes, cryptocurrency projects, and NFTs, further trivializing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza while raising ethical concerns about AI and digital manipulation.
