The ad, which features AI images of pristine beaches and laughing children, has prompted backlash, including a planned protest outside Hulus headquarters.

A pro-Israel ad on Hulu claiming that Gaza would be a tourist destination if not for Hamas is prompting backlash, including a protest outside the streaming giants headquarters slated for later this week.

The 30-second ad features text reading, Come visit beautiful Gaza while a narrator promises stunning beaches and charming boardwalks.

You can stay in one of our five-star hotels and get a taste of the best in Middle Eastern food. Embrace the vibrant nightlife of the city and experience a culture rich in tradition, the voiceover says against a backdrop of what appear to be AI images showing beautiful hotels, beaches, and laughing children and people.

Then, the narrator abruptly halts mid-sentence and says: This is what Gaza could have been like without Hamas, as the ad shows images of Palestinians, including children, holding guns, and inside tunnels. The ad ends by saying, Free Gaza From Hamas Now.

The amount of money Israel spends on propaganda is astounding.
