Palestinians release AI-generated video countering Trump's vision of Gaza
Gaza: A Palestinian digital media platform has released an AI-generated video in response to US President Donald Trump's controversial depiction of an American-owned Gaza. The video, shared by SahatEnglish on 'X', carries the message, "A message to #Trump: #Gaza will always be Palestinian!"
The video mirrors the format of Trump's AI-generated clip, which had sparked backlash for portraying a Westernised Gaza under US influence. It begins with a similar opening phrase, "Gaza 2025, What Next?" but presents a different vision. The first scene shows a Palestinian child offering flowers to a member of Hamas' Al Qassam Brigades amid the ruins. It then shifts to footage resembling real-life scenes of Palestinians returning to northern Gaza after the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement.
The video further envisions a thriving Gaza with its cultural heritage intact, showcasing mosques, tall buildings, and young Palestinians performing the traditional dabkeh dance on the beach. This scene appears to be a direct response to Trump's video, which included bearded belly dancers. Additionally, a Palestinian child is shown holding an 'I love Gaza' balloon, seemingly countering a similar shot in Trump's video, where a child held a Trump balloon.
A rock song plays in the background with lyrics asserting, "Gaza is ours... no matter who, no matter how, we stand unshaken. We are here, we will remain, Gaza rises through the pain." The video also portrays Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a negative light—Trump and Netanyahu are depicted wearing prison uniforms, visibly frustrated, while Musk appears distressed amid a stock market collapse.
The Palestinian flag is prominently displayed in the final scenes, symbolising resistance and resilience. The video quickly gained traction on social media, with many users expressing admiration for its message. "Love this! I will definitely be visiting," commented one user. Another remarked, "Despite living through a genocide and losing generations to Israel's assault, young Gazans knew how to respond to Trump's AI video in a befitting way."
