Nicole Jenes

Nicole Jenes is a Romanian-Spanish audiovisual producer, actress, and social media influencer based in Egypt, with over 1.5 million followers on TikTok (across her English and Spanish accounts) and a significant presence on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, X, and Facebook. She is known for creating satirical comedy skits, often addressing political and social issues, including the Israel-Palestine conflict. Since the escalation of the war in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, Jenes has been vocal in her support for Palestine, using humor, direct commentary, and activism to criticize Israel genocide and highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Key Aspects of Her Opinions on Palestine and Gaza

Jenes’ views are consistently pro-Palestinian, framing the situation as one of occupation, genocide, and systemic injustice against Palestinians. She condemns Israel’s military operations in Gaza as disproportionate and criminal, while expressing solidarity with Palestinian civilians. Her content often satirizes what she sees as Zionist entitlement, Western media bias, and Israeli propaganda. Below is a summary based on her public posts, videos, interviews, and initiatives:

1. Criticism of Israel’s Actions in Gaza:
   • Jenes frequently describes Israel’s military campaign in Gaza as a “genocide” and accuses the Israeli government and military of deliberately targeting civilians, destroying infrastructure, and blocking humanitarian aid. For instance, in a May 2024 YouTube video titled “😡Nicole Jenes | Israelis Destroy Aid,” she expresses outrage over reports of Israeli forces destroying aid convoys and calls Israelis “evil genocidal maniacs” and a “dead cult” for “stealing land from indigenous people.” She argues that these actions perpetuate a cycle of violence and displacement.
   • In satirical skits, such as her “Chosen Satire” series (e.g., a July 2025 video mocking entitled “chosen ones” fleeing consequences in the “Promised Land” amid regional escalation), she uses humor to lampoon what she views as Israeli exceptionalism and impunity in committing atrocities. These videos portray Israelis demanding special treatment abroad while ignoring Palestinian suffering, highlighting what she calls “entitlement for genocide.
   • She has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire, the end of the blockade on Gaza, and international accountability for Israel, including sanctions and recognition of Palestinian statehood

2. Support for Palestinian Rights and Solidarity:

• Jenes emphasizes the humanity of Palestinians, often sharing personal stories of loss and resilience in Gaza. In an April 2024 short video “Nicole Jenes: Why Do You Have to Ask That Question?”, she challenges why supporters of Palestine are questioned about their stance, asserting that backing Palestinian rights is a moral imperative against occupation and apartheid.
• She has organized and participated in global calls to action, such as the “#StrikeForGaza21Aug” hashtag campaign in August 2024 on Threads, urging people to create videos in multiple languages to raise awareness about the crisis. Her posts often use the watermelon emoji (🍉) as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity.
• In a December 2023 Al Jazeera interview (“Nicole Jenes and Rathbone: Social media influencers a new lens on Gaza war”), she discussed how platforms like TikTok and Instagram provide unfiltered views of the conflict, allowing influencers to counter mainstream narratives and amplify Palestinian voices. She highlighted the role of social media in exposing the “truth” about Gaza’s devastation, which she says traditional Western media downplays.

3. Humanitarian Activism and Aid Efforts:

• Beyond commentary, Jenes has turned her platform into a tool for direct aid. Since November 2023, she has run a GoFundMe campaign (“Keep the hearts of the people of Gaza warm”) to produce and send essential items like winter jackets, sleeping bags, mattresses, women’s hygiene products, shoes, and clothing to Gaza via partnerships with organizations in Egypt. By August 2024, her project had delivered over 79,810 items, with full documentation shared on her social media and updates. She funds production at cost in Egypt and extends aid to displaced Palestinian families there.
• In June 2025, she was a key organizer and spokesperson for the Madleen vessel in the Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s mission to break Israel’s naval blockade on Gaza. The flotilla was intercepted by Maltese and Israeli forces, but Jenes vowed in a Palestine Deep Dive interview (“‘We’ll Go Again’ Organiser of Gaza-Bound Ship Madleen says this is Just the Beginning”) that it was “just the beginning” of non-violent efforts to deliver aid and challenge the siege. She provided live updates on drone threats and ship issues during the voyage.
