Video: Destiny advises IDF soldiers to put the camera away and have fun
ALBAWABA - Controversial streamer Destiny recently sparked backlash on social media after a new video surfaced regarding his recent trip to occupied Palestine, Israel. The clip revealed Destiny advising IDF soldiers to refrain from committing war crimes against Palestinians in reference to clips of them gleefully wearing women's underwear. He said while surrounded by several Israelis, "If you wanna wear a dress and think it's funny, just don't take a video of it." Destiny further added, "People don't like seeing your war crimes, don't film yourselves in women's outfits, just put your f***ing camera away and have fun," as laughter from his listeners erupted in the background. — trippy rev (@red_leftist) June 23, 2025 The recently surfaced video sparked widespread outrage on social media, with users taking to platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter) to voice their opinions about the controversial streamer's degratory comments about the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023. One X user wrote, "I'm sure the irony isn't lost on a single person that DESTINY of all people is telling the IDF soldiers to not record everything because it can be used against them." Another added, "Criminals advising criminals." The controversial streamer has showcased his pro-Israel stance on multiple occasions across social media, sparking widespread hate towards him and his fans. In 2024, drama erupted between him and fellow pro-Palestine political streamer Hasan Abi after a debate about US politics and Kamala Harris. While the exact date of the video remains unclear, Destiny visited Israel in May 2025, including areas like the West Bank, where he engaged in a debate with local residents. Additionally, he documented the debate and posted it on YouTube.

From Novotel to ibis Styles: Explore Deira's Best Summer Hotel Offers
With summer now in full swing and domestic travel on the rise, Dubai's Deira district is quietly re-emerging as a weekend retreat for residents and travelers. In line with this shift a cluster of urban hotels, including Novotel, Mercure, ibis Styles, and Adagio Aparthotel, are leaning into the city's heritage appeal, offering thoughtfully positioned stays that cater to the evolving preferences of local travelers. More than just a price-driven proposition, the move signals a broader shift by the hospitality sector to court UAE residents seeking immersive yet affordable city breaks, and each hotel has tailored its summer offering to meet the needs of distinct traveler profiles. Novotel Dubai Gold District Bridging the energy of modern Dubai with the character of its historic trading heart, Novotel Dubai Gold District is ideally suited for business travelers, short-stay guests, and those embarking on cruise journeys from Port Rashid. It's the perfect choice for visitors looking to explore the Gold and Spice Souks, while also offering convenient access to Dubai International Airport, making it ideal for a hassle-free, time-efficient stay. The hotel is a great option for those wanting to balance meetings with leisure, serving as a well-connected base to discover the city. What sets this property apart are its elevated views, outdoor pool, gym, and tranquil spa, making it the perfect place to unwind. Whether it's a layover, a weekend stop, or a culturally rich short escape. Mercure Dubai Gold District Steps from the Gold Souk Metro Station and a short stroll from Dubai's atmospheric heritage zones, Mercure's newest outpost feels like a cultural checkpoint between the past and the present. Designed for travellers who prefer cobbled streets over concierge queues, the hotel connects you to the sensory overload of Deira's souks — gold, spice, textiles — with the added benefit of plush, modern comfort. For first-time Dubai visitors and repeat travellers craving something more authentic, this property is a gateway to the city's soul. ibis Styles Dubai Gold District Stylish on a shoestring, ibis Styles Gold District is where budget meets bold. Tailored for solo wanderers, young couples, and backpackers, the hotel offers fuss-free stays with flashes of personality — think minimalist rooms, bright accents, and a location that's as walkable as it is photogenic. Within minutes, you're weaving through souks or hopping on the metro. It's also a smart pick for guests looking to explore the city on foot. Mercure Dubai Deira For the traveler who likes their escape with a side of flavor, Mercure Dubai Deira delivers. Set amidst Deira's dynamic souks and creative corridors, this property offers both grounded and generous vibes — rooftop swims, creative cocktails, and easy access to Dubai's evolving food scene. The contemporary interiors bring its distinctly local spirit to life. It's a natural choice for hybrid workers looking to balance work and fun, while chasing new discoveries beyond the typical brunch circuit. ibis Styles Dubai Deira Bold, expressive, and unapologetically Instagrammable, ibis Styles Dubai Deira was made for the modern traveler who values mood and meaning in equal measure. Interiors draw on Arabic calligraphy and local color, while rooftop views stretch across Dubai Creek and the city's low-slung historic skyline. The hotel invites creators and fun-loving guests to soak in the light, explore the city, and enjoy the art within the hotel — perfect for those who travel light but expect their stay to leave a mark. Adagio Aparthotel Dubai Deira For those who linger longer — families, business travelers, and digital nomads — Adagio offers a quieter, apartment-style rhythm. Its 189 fully serviced residences come with kitchenettes, laundry facilities, living spaces, and views of the Gold Souk waterfront. It feels less like a hotel and more like a pied-à-terre in one of the city's oldest neighborhoods. And when you're ready to dip back into the pulse of Deira, the souks, metro, and Dubai Creek are right at your feet. Valid for bookings made until July 31, 2025, for stays through September 30, 2025, the offer gives guests up to 25% off stays of two nights or more. The tiered discount includes 20% off for all guests, with an additional 5% for members of ALL – Accor Live Limitless, and 10% off for Accor Plus members. Available across all booking platforms, from direct websites to OTAs, the deal is prepaid, non-refundable, and non-flexible. While Dubai's hospitality industry typically sees a slowdown in summer, Deira's repositioning as a culturally rich, affordable escape appears to be a strategic response to evolving staycation habits. These offers not only aim to fill rooms during a softer season but also invite residents to rediscover one of the city's oldest — and most storied — neighborhoods.
