Starting a thread for my normal friends who don't experience my feed.
You've been completely scammed about "open air prisons" + concentration camps
See below for what life was like in Gaza, starting with a luxury car dealership that opened Aug 2023 in Gaza City (h/t @imshin)
👇
Brunch on the Titanic Rooftop in Southern Gaza overlooking the ocean
The Blanco Beach private Beach Resort in Gaza
State of the Art Virtual Reality club for kids in Gaza City
Nu Level Rooftop Restaurant on a Saturday in 2023 in Gaza City
Al Qadi Sweets luxury candy store in Gaza City
Cedar restaurant in Gaza City 2023
Capital Mall Shopping Center in Gaza
Friends Club in Gaza, one of **multiple** equestrian academies on the strip.
White House Bridal Salon, opened in 2020:
Gazan family, out shopping at a Mall March 2023
Girls day out at a Gazan beachfront resort
Gaza's famous Az-Zawiyeh Market August 2022
The Asdaa City Water Park in southern Gaza
Every Thursday night, DJ parties at the C House Milano Beach Resort in Gaza
Tropical Restaurant in southern Gaza, circa June 2023
Supermarket in Central Gaza Strip June 2022
Taking a break, but could go on forever with more villas, private pools, beachfront resorts, even Gazan Youtubers doing restaurant reviews.
Let's be clear: most Gazans live in poverty.
But if this is Gaza with Hamas siphoning the vast majority of international "aid" to billionize its top leaders and invest billions into weapony, imagine what it **should** have looked like.
Hoping this thread wakes up even 1 thinking person; then it will have been worth it.

food delivery is a category case study for the record books. so much intrigue and game theory if you know where to look under the hood. major externalities also brewing around modularity that will shift value longterm 1/x
the intrigue started with ubereats, doordash and postmates all going over the top (not actually partnering with restaurants) to dramatically increase supply versus the incumbent grubhub. @sarahtavel has a great breakdown here: medium.com/@sarahtavel/fo… 2/x
grub dug in believing that consumers would prioritize value + consistency. (nearly every independent study has shown grub to be the lowest markup.) but this incorrectly underestimated WTP for previously offline restaurants 3/x nytimes.com/2020/02/26/tec…
