Gazawood is an organized archive of verified videos, documentary materials, and primary sources related to Gaza.
In an age of information warfare, distinguishing truth from manipulation is essential.
Gazawood provides a comprehensive and searchable archive of authenticated content, accompanied by detailed investigations, source citations, and chronological timelines.
Our archive includes documentation and cross-referenced materials designed to help viewers understand context, verify claims, and make informed judgments.
Gazawood was founded in the aftermath of Hamas's October 7 massacre of Israeli civilians near Gaza.
As Israel began its response, an unusually dramatic wave of footage began to appear. Some of these scenes seemed almost prearranged — featuring multiple crews, professional equipment, local performers, and even very young children reciting political speeches while appearing wounded.
These and many other observations suggested that, alongside genuine suffering, there may also exist depictions that are not entirely authentic.
The goal of this project is to document that phenomenon — one largely ignored, and perhaps even shielded, by mainstream media — and to allow people to approach such material with greater fairness and clarity.
Gazawood is not a fact-checking organization, nor does it claim to determine absolute truth.
Palestinian suffering exists — profoundly.
And Pallywood, the anti-Israeli industry of staged or manipulated media, also exists — profoundly.
One truth does not cancel out the other.
Gazawood was created from the recognition that media manipulation and staged content have become sophisticated tools in modern conflict reporting. Our team identified an urgent need for a verifiable and transparent central archive that goes beyond viral clips to provide context, sources, and analysis.
We are building a platform that encourages viewers to question narratives, verify claims, and understand the mechanisms behind media distortion.
Each Gazawood investigation includes links to original sources, cross-referenced materials, and structured documentation of key events.
Gazawood is an independent, nonpartisan project.
All content is shared for educational and documentary purposes under fair use.
The materials reflect analysis and opinion, not definitive fact or official position.
Viewers are encouraged to assess the evidence critically and draw their own conclusions.
