Oxfam Launches Campaign on Hardships of Gaza…From Luxury Hotel

Following on from their ridiculous “space boy” video, Oxfam have continued their anti-Israel campaign, this time highlighting the story of a street photographer in Gaza:

My first thought seeing this was “Wow, that is one heck of a nice, expensive camera!” So much for the “impoverished” Gaza narrative.

But then the following was brought to my attention:

This entire campaign was launched at the Mashtal Hotel, in what seems to have been a red carpet event.
