Democrats just won both chambers of Congress. Within hours, a campaign launched to remove Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the highest-ranking Jewish and Black elected officials in American history. I have my criticism of both politicians. But this isn't it. Hakeem Jeffries was called an "AIPAC monkey" and an "errand boy" by a commentator with a huge platform, and people defended it. A post with over 100,000 likes says the reason they have to go is money from pro-Israel PACs. One of the biggest videos pushing this holds up an AIPAC post congratulating them as proof. The replacement they want is Chris Van Hollen, who voted to block arms sales to Israel. Nobody is hiding it. This isn't about the shutdown or a new generation. It's about Israel, and about who is allowed to be close to Jews. Watch the reel. They're telling their followers to call the Capitol switchboard. So do the same thing. 📞 202-224-3121 Ask for your senators and your House representative. Say you're a constituent. Tell them you don't want your party's leadership decided by a campaign that called Hakeem Jeffries a monkey and is being pushed by foreign money. It takes two minutes. If you're outside the US, share this. The people who can call need to know they're not alone.

3,000 IDF casualties and over 500 KIA in Gaza. More than the British lost in Afghanistan. It was absolutely a war.

Nothing to see here, just a Hamas video of how they dug up water pipes that dumbass western nations paid for to create rockets and other munitions so they could attack innocent civilians. They tell you exactly who they are and people still refuse to see it.

🔴 "Gazawood debunks fake Gaza AI, thereby spreading disinformation and mocking Gazans." This is my summary of the third article FRANCE 24 has published targeting GAZAWOOD. Once again, FRANCE 24 is publishing an article about GAZAWOOD, misrepresenting and distorting my words, seemingly determined to find a way to portray me as wrong. One might almost think someone is paying them to find something negative to say about people exposing fake news about Gaza. Let's unpack this, because the situation is genuinely absurd. It also illustrates just how powerless independent researchers can be against the mainstream media empires that shape public discourse: Thousands of anti-Israel accounts have been spreading fake news in recent days, using AI-generated videos depicting floods in Gaza. These videos have accumulated tens of millions of views, and I'm talking only about X. What is happening on TikTok is an absolute Sodom and Gomorrah of fake Gaza content. But who does FRANCE 24 go after? Who do they target? The very person trying to expose these fabrications. They label the debunking as disinformation and twist themselves into knots trying to explain how "the very act of exposing fake news is mocking the suffering in Gaza." So congratulations, FRANCE 24, on your contribution to truth in our world. You could have used your enormous reach to do your actual job and help combat fake news. Instead, you do what mainstream media seems to do best: go after those attempting to expose it, slap a "disinformation" label on them, and come up with increasingly contorted arguments claiming that exposing fake Gaza content is somehow forbidden, malicious, or intended to mock genuine suffering. I wonder whether FRANCE 24 is effectively trying to communicate something along the lines of: "Israel is not allowed to defend itself against fake news, disinformation, and propaganda." Almost as if to say: if you are a Jew, woe to you if you dare try to tell the truth. A quick reminder of our previous encounters with FRANCE 24: The first time FRANCE 24 targeted GAZAWOOD was over the blonde girl, Qamar, who, according to Gazan journalists, carried her sister for miles and became an icon and symbol of Gazan suffering. FRANCE 24 presented our claims, slightly distorted, of course, and argued that we were wrong. Later, the "journalist" Motaz Azaiza admitted that the scene had been staged. FRANCE 24 never reported that. The second time they went after GAZAWOOD was when we showcased an abundance of restaurants operating in Gaza during a relatively short period, at the height of the starvation campaign and in the midst of the war. FRANCE 24 wanted to establish that these restaurants either did not exist or that our documentation was not authentic. They investigated extensively, only to find themselves having to acknowledge: "Well... the restaurants are indeed real, but... this doesn't prove there is no FAMINE in Gaza." Which, of course, was rather inconvenient. And now, the third time: this. When I point out ridiculous AI fabrications exaggerating the flooding in Gaza, FRANCE 24 comes along with the argument that "Gazawood debunks fake content, therefore Gazawood is spreading disinformation." All of this demonstrates just how closely FRANCE 24 follows GAZAWOOD. So, as such dedicated followers, let me ask you directly: What is the reason, FRANCE 24, that you completely ignored the tens of thousands of documented videos of upscale restaurants in Gaza that we collected, even though we provided you with links and sources to verify them yourselves? Why did you refuse to report on this material? (If you missed it, you can explore the archive here: gazawood.com/videos/category…) What is the reason you ignore the videos showing Gazans destroying food during food-fight games in Gaza, day after day? What is the reason you don't expose, on a daily basis, videos of disasters in other countries, such as Syria, Afghanistan, or Turkey, that Gazan accounts present as though they were disasters happening in Gaza? These posts reach millions of views, and you can already find examples collected and documented on our account and website. Look at yourselves. You have so much power. Why spend it on this instead of using it to help establish the truth? Now, as always, I want to make something absolutely clear: WE NEVER MOCK REAL SUFFERING. Since malicious attempts are continuously made to portray us otherwise, this distinction deserves to be emphasized even more: In Gaza, there is real suffering, and there is staged suffering. The real suffering is immense, and Hamas bears enormous responsibility for exploiting it, perpetuating it, and using it as a tool for its own survival. The staged suffering is by no means insignificant either. Hamas does not merely exploit it; it also encourages and produces it for various purposes. We do NOT mock real suffering. Rather, we seek to clarify who is responsible for it and who benefits from exploiting it. What we expose is staged suffering designed to inflate the scale of real suffering to false proportions, and, through its sheer volume, divert public discourse away from Israel's right to defend itself and away from the actual perpetrators, preventing people from seeing the situation clearly. If you knew how many investigations and videos we have deliberately refrained from publishing, despite considering them pure gold and investing enormous amounts of time in collecting them, simply because someone in the background could be heard crying out of genuine sorrow, you would understand just how seriously we take this principle. (And since FRANCE 24 claimed that Israeli creators were responsible for spreading the Gaza AI content, in my next post I will attach a video containing several screenshots demonstrating how these videos are actually being circulated by anti-Israel accounts.) *And one more important point, especially for followers who may not be familiar with the enormous, seemingly impossible battle taking place behind the scenes: When major media outlets like FRANCE 24 publish reports like these, they aren't just influencing public opinion today. That's only the immediate damage. They are also shaping how future AI systems will understand, interpret, and ultimately represent these events. For anyone who hasn't realized it yet, this is an enormous part of the battle. And it is precisely why they relentlessly attack anything that challenges or undermines the Hamas narrative. Finally, I want to thank our loyal followers. Without you, we would never have reached where we are today. We have no institutional backing, no significant financial resources, and we operate under constant attack, not only from bots and organized groups that view us as a threat, but also from enormous mainstream media outlets that dominate the global conversation. Without your support, we could never have accomplished even the little we have managed to achieve. Every bit of support matters. Every share, every comment, every invitation for someone to follow our account, and every donation helps tremendously, far more than you probably realize. Every single person contributing a little to the pursuit of truth helps weave together something far greater than the sum of its parts. And I sincerely hope that one day, we will all be able to look back at what we built and see something that stands proud 🙏❤️

Earlier today I wrote that school destroys critical thinking. Many of you asked for proof. The proof is Marx. Marxism is probably the most tested theory in human history. Tested on paper by the best economists in the world. Tested at full scale on hundreds of millions of people, across several continents, for more than a century. And it failed every single test. A free mind, one that checks its ideas against reality, cannot remain Marxist. If so many people still are, it's not a problem of intelligence. It's a problem of method. They were never taught to verify. Let's start from the beginning. In 1867, Marx publishes Das Kapital. Everything rests on one idea: the value of a good comes from the amount of labor it contains. The boss's profit is therefore labor stolen from the worker. Four years later, in 1871, Menger and Jevons independently show that this is wrong. Value doesn't come from labor. It comes from the usefulness the buyer sees in the good. An hour spent digging a useless hole creates zero value. That's the marginal revolution, and all of modern economics is built on it. In 1896, Böhm-Bawerk shows that Marx's system contradicts itself: real prices don't match labor values, and Marx knew it. The foundation collapses. In 1920, Mises asks the question that kills it: without private property, there are no market prices. Without prices, how does a central planner know what to produce, how much, and with which resources? Answer: he can't. Hayek finishes the job in 1945: economic knowledge is scattered across millions of minds, and no central bureau can ever gather it. That's the theory. Now the predictions. Marx predicted the revolution would break out in the most industrialized countries, England and Germany. It happened in Russia, an agrarian country. Wrong. He predicted workers would grow poorer and poorer under capitalism. They grew richer than at any point in history. Wrong. He predicted the State would wither away. Everywhere his ideas were applied, the State became total. Wrong. Now the experiments. USSR: forced collectivization, famine in Ukraine, millions dead, the Gulag. China: Mao's Great Leap Forward. Between 15 and 45 million dead depending on the historian. The largest famine in human history, produced by a plan. Cambodia: the Khmer Rouge killed roughly a quarter of their own population in four years. Then there are the natural experiments. The most brutal ones, because they eliminate every excuse. Korea. Same people, same language, same culture, same history. In 1945, the North was richer than the South. Today, income per person in the South is about 29 times higher than in the North. Only one variable changed: the system. Germany. One people cut in two. One side had to build a wall. Not to keep people out. To keep them in. Venezuela. The largest proven oil reserves on the planet. Nearly 8 million people fled the country. 21st-century socialism ended with Maduro captured last January. Meanwhile, the other system, the one you were taught to hate, did this: in 1820, about three quarters of humanity lived in extreme poverty. Today, around 10%. And the biggest escape from poverty in history, China after 1978, happened at the exact moment the Communist Party brought markets back. From Marx to Maduro, 150 years of data. All pointing the same way. So how does anyone stay Marxist? With the magic sentence: "that wasn't real communism." Think about what that sentence means. A theory that fails every time it's tried, whose believers then declare that none of the attempts counted, is no longer a theory. It's a faith. Karl Popper saw it as early as 1945: Marxism survived its refutations by making itself irrefutable. A mind trained to think for itself asks one question: how many failures does it take before you question the hypothesis? One, two, ten, forty? That's exactly the question school never teaches you to ask. Marx isn't taught as a hypothesis to test against the data. He's taught as a morality tale: there are oppressors and oppressed, and the right side is obvious. You learn the conclusion, never the method. A four-year-old would ask: "Okay, but where did it work?" Fifteen years of schooling later, they've stopped asking. A system that teaches you to obey has no interest in teaching you to verify. Because the day you start verifying is the day you start being free. And that day, you stop being a Marxist.
A few years ago, Peter Thiel wrote to Mark Zuckerberg: 70% of Millennials say they're pro-socialist. His conclusion: stop calling them stupid, and try to understand why. His explanation was economic. Too much student debt, unaffordable housing, no capital. When you own nothing, you have no reason to defend the system. He's right. But that's only half the story. The other half is school. School destroys critical thinking. Methodically. For fifteen years. You learn to recite instead of question. To find the expected answer instead of the true one. To obey authority instead of reasoning for yourself. When you've spent your youth outsourcing your thinking to an institution, it feels natural to outsource your life to an even bigger one: the State. That's why so many end up Marxist. Not by conviction. By conditioning. And that conditioning is about to become a handicap. We're entering a world where AI does everything conformist, predictable and standardized better than we do. The only value left is thinking differently. To create value tomorrow, you'll need to be neurodivergent. And someone who thinks differently and reasons from first principles almost always ends up seeing the same thing: the State, as it works today, destroys more value than it creates. It's no accident that Alex Karp created a fellowship at Palantir dedicated to neurodivergent talent. To him, in the age of AI, there are only two ways to have a future: master a real trade, or be neurodivergent. But I'll go further than Karp. I believe neurodivergence isn't the exception. It's the natural state of the human mind. Look at a four-year-old. They ask hundreds of questions a day. They take everything apart. They refuse any rule they don't understand. They think from first principles without even knowing it's a thing. Then they go to school. And we spend fifteen years normalizing them. School doesn't shape minds. It sands them down. The future belongs to those who survived the sanding.

A short while ago, I received a phone call from a Hamas member. It was a threatening message. He said, "We know you love cooking. We've prepared a cooking program for displaced people in Gaza. Stop writing about Hamas, or we'll make you cook in prison."

Note to Western enablers: Failure to hold Hamas accountable does not help Palestinians.
For more than three years, much of the pro-Palestinian movement in the West has refused to say a word about Hamas’s abuses against Palestinians in Gaza: killings, shootings in the legs, broken limbs, extortionate taxes, kidnappings, and a reign of fear. Those abuses were met with silence. Worse, anyone who dared to speak out was smeared, threatened, and intimidated. Too often, it worked. People went quiet. Now, as rainstorms batter Gaza, displaced families are suffering without adequate tents or shelter, and with no relief in sight. Israel bears responsibility for the devastation in Gaza. But Hamas bears responsibility too, and it wants the world to look only at Israel. Hamas is detaining ministry engineers and others trying to help displaced families, then forcing them to sign pledges that they will work only through Hamas. The goal is simple: to control who helps, how they help, and who gets the credit, tightening its grip on people’s lives even as they drown in mud and floodwater. More than three years of devastation have passed, and Hamas has yet to acknowledge its role or apologize for what Palestinians have endured. Instead, it keeps terrorizing people, exploiting their suffering, and crushing anyone who dares to challenge its rule. Even Palestinians in Gaza are not spared these attacks and labels. When people inside Gaza speak out about how Hamas is deepening and exploiting their suffering, they are attacked, branded traitors and collaborators, and put in danger. Those leading the attacks are the same voices who stayed silent about Hamas’s crimes. They claim to stand with Palestinians, yet they turn on the very Palestinians who live under Hamas and tell the truth about it.

Actually, we've tried that a few times. They were offered a state of their own in 1948 and decided to try to kill us instead. We gave it a go in the 90s and they tried to kill us instead. We handed all of Gaza over to them unconditionally 20 years ago and what to do you know, they tried to kill us instead. So, yup, we've given it a shot. They seem uninterested.

Here is the sad truth: It is impossible to send the heavy digging and tunneling equipment needed to build a modern sewage system into territory controlled by Hamas, which will use it to build tunnels under people’s homes. As long as the people of Gaza are stuck under Hamas rule, they will be wet and miserable. So work out how to remove Hamas or let them claim asylum.
UNICEF warned Tuesday that a basin contaminated with sewage could overflow in Gaza City. It said Israel barred repair equipment on security grounds. Israel’s aid coordinator did not immediately comment, Reuters reports in The Jerusalem Post. jpost.com/middle-east/articl…

بينما ترفض حماس نزع سلاحها وتواصل استغلال المساعدات الإنسانية لأغراض إرهابية، تتواصل الاستعدادات لفصل الشتاء في قطاع غزة: 🔹 إدخال أكثر من 91 ألف خيمة و8,200 شاحنة محمّلة بمعدات شتوية. 🔹 مشاريع لتحسين البنى التحتية للمياه والصرف الصحي. 🔹 الموافقة على إدخال لقاحات وعيادات متنقلة ومعدات طبية. 🔹ورغم الموافقة على أكثر من 850 طلبًا لإدخال معدات مخصصة لفصل الشتاء، لم تُنفّذ عمليات إدخال المعدات في نحو نصف الطلبات الموافق عليها، لأسباب تشمل صعوبات لوجستية ومالية لا علاقة لإسرائيل بها. 🔹الأمم المتحدة والمنظمات الدولية نفسها لا تستطيع ضمان عدم وصول بعض المعدات التي تطلب إدخالها إلى أيدي حماس. 🔹جيش الدفاع يواصل العمل على تحسين الاستجابة الإنسانية والاستعداد لفصل الشتاء، مع منع استغلال هذه الجهود لإعادة بناء قدرات التنظيمات الإرهابية.
