    They’re right, a beach house isn’t a dream. It’s a nightmare.

    Your house will constantly get sand inside. If there is a bit of wind your house gets sandblasted. You can’t eat outside or seagulls will steal your food. Walking on sand is more difficult than walking on pavement or grass. You would have to be a madman to go live on a beach.

      Sand is also hot as fuck especially during the summer. I’m from New Jersey and I’m used to the sand being really hot on the beach during the late summer, to the point that you can barely stand on it.

      I went down to South Florida during August and standing on the sand in bare feet was like standing on hot coals.

        Simple answer is to buy a beach house in Scotland then

        Same. Fam had a home on LBI in the Terrace oceanside and the damn sand was fire in July & August. God forbid you tried to walk down onto the asphalt road for the 6 houses up to yours… it was hot and sticky as it would melt and you’d get tar on your feet (walking the curb was sanctuary).

      It’s real in that this was actually produced by an Israeli construction company. It’s fake in that this isn’t actually happening or approved by the state.

        The fact that the company did this and the government didn’t do anything about it gives me nazi vibes.

        Add this to IDF and you get the big picture.

        Also, Hitler wasn’t a bad guy over a night btw.

        Yet. It isn’t happening yet. Them settlers will pay a premium for that beachfront. (Also, I’m reminded of that IDF instagram … uh… person… who posted something about “I need to come back in a bikini”

        Ah yes, if you recognize and denounce genocide then obviously you must be pro terrorism.

        it’s possible to be against genocide while also being against terrorists. it’s possible for smart people, anyway.

    Not the best moment to speak the quiet part (the robbery of land) out loud. Israeli society is falling into such a spiral of collective madness that many of them don’t even realize how psychotic all of this is to the rest of the world.

    how do we know it’s real tho? who is the company running this ad and where is it running?

    source
    • MrConfusion@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The ad is from the Israeli real estate company Harey Zahav. They posted this on their Instagram account. After criticism and backlash they claimed it was posted as a joke.

      The Norwegian journalist collaborative fact checking service Faktisk.no has done a deep dive on this ad with a lot of detail if you want to check it out. You can read it using google translate (or similar tools) you are interested.

      faktisk.no/…/kraftige-reaksjoner-etter-spok-om-bo…

      Some interesting facts from the article: the ad text says they are working to prepare for a return to Gush Katif, an earlier Israeli settlement in Gaza. The company is responsible for the development of settlements on the West Bank. The owner of the company lives in Moscow and seems to be an oligarch.

      So based on the info in the linked in the article the ad is very real. And while the company behind it claims it was all a joke, that does seem a lot like damage control.

      Sadly, yes. On the off chance you speak Dutch, here is a fact-checking article on that exact ad. I know it’s a weird thing to link articles in uncommon languages, but I came across that article recently and thought it really provided a lot of context, so I’m afraid it’s the best source I have. You can always run it through a translator too :-)

        It was literally in their Facebook page maybe still there.

        Yet people pertend like this, which is continue to happen in west bank, which should be controlled by Palestinians authority, is far fetched?

        source
      • gedaliyah@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Sorry for the mix up. Some people have been mistakenly posting this as evidence that Israel is planning development or settlement in Gaza. Obviously nonsense. Thanks for clarifying.

    the use of the word ‘dream’ makes this seem ambiguous. i still cant really tell if this is pro or anti-settler?

    i feel like it could either be interpreted as saying “a beach house is not positive” or as “a beach house could be a reality”

    i hope its the first, it would be really sick otherwise

    Anyone with an Israeli passport should be deeply ashamed, and they should burn it.

    If you ever meet an Israeli, the only thing to do is turn your back on them and walk away.

        The thing is that both sides are not innocent. As it turns out Hamas is a terrorist organization that uses human shields and kill Civilians. That doesn’t justify Israel blowing up a hospital full of people but its important to note that basically everyone involved has blood on there hands.

        This is a situation that shouldn’t be happening.
