The real Ibiza: locals packed into slums while rich tourists live it up
Ibiza faces a severe housing crisis as the influx of wealthy tourists drives up property prices, leaving many locals, like García Gómez, in dire straits. The island's economy heavily relies on tourism, yet the cost of living has become unsustainable for residents, leading to the emergence of slums. Protests have erupted, demanding reduced tourist numbers and stricter regulations on unlicensed rentals. The Balearic islands government has introduced measures to curb mass tourism, but enforcement remains a challenge. The situation is exacerbated by a shortage of workers in essential services, with some commuting from nearby islands due to high living costs in Ibiza.

Israel’s Celebrity Charm Offensive
Organizations such as the Maccabee Task Force and Rova Media, with support from entities like Eight Productions and Roc Nation, are orchestrating trips to Israel for celebrities and social media influencers to reshape the narrative in Israel's favor amidst accusations of genocide and war crimes. These trips, documented for media purposes, aim to create ambassadors for Israel, particularly during times of conflict. High-profile individuals are being convinced to witness the aftermath of war and become wartime ambassadors. The campaign, funded by pro-Israel donors like the Adelson family, targets non-Jewish university students and influential figures to act as pro-Israel mouthpieces, especially on college campuses. The efforts include educational programs, anti-BDS initiatives, and propaganda campaigns designed to counteract the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.
