April 2024: Alex de Waal tells a Harvard audience that Gaza is "the most intense famine that we have seen since records began."
October 2026: After none of his dire predictions came true, Alex de Waal declares that Gaza was, actually, "a very different type of famine."
Alex de Waal wrote the standard textbook on famine, runs the World Peace Foundation, and helped write starvation crimes into international law. When the media says "famine experts warn," this is who they mean.
In March 2024 he told Democracy Now that Gaza's children were already dying of hunger and disease, "likely in thousands already."
Asked in October 2026 if Gaza made him rethink his work, he said yes. Was he wrong? Of course not. The most intense famine since records began was simply "a very different type of famine," with "a very different demographic profile." Not one word about the thousands of children he said were already dying.
When Noam Dworman pressed him on the deaths in September, de Waal's answer was that the pattern "was something that was puzzling" and "we actually don't know how many have died."
He was certain enough in 2024 to tell the world they were already dying by the thousands. Now he isn't certain enough to say how many died at all.

What actually happened:
The IPC's own Famine Review Committee, June 2024: the famine claims were "not plausible," and "the available evidence does not indicate that Famine is currently occurring."

After the October 2025 ceasefire, a UNICEF-led survey found 0.5 percent acute child malnutrition in Gaza, one of the lowest rates in the region.

In 2016, he admitted in Boston Review that he had used "genocide" about Sudan "because it would grab headlines," and that "using the G-word was an error."

September 24, 2026: Noam Dworman sits down with "the world's leading famine expert" and reads him his old predictions and declarations about famine in Gaza.
Alex de Waal wrote the standard textbook on famine, runs the World Peace Foundation, and helped write starvation crimes into international law. When the media says "famine experts warn," this is who they mean.
In January 2024, he told Owen Jones famine would probably arrive by early February. February came and went. In March 2024, he told CBS it was expected between then and May. Days later, he told Democracy Now that children were dying "likely in thousands already." In April 2024, at Harvard, he called it the most intense famine since records began. In October 2025, Democracy Now brought him back.
Nobody ever asked him about any of prior predictions and declarations. On September 24, 2026, Noam Dworman did.

2:14 Dworman to De Waal: You let Feroze Sidhwa tell my audience that 62,000 Gazans died of starvation
3:10 De Waal: We don't know the numbers. Dworman: The Gaza Ministry of Health doesn't claim anything close to your numbers
3:43 Dworman calls out the moving goalposts: "So I never said they were dying." De Waal accuses him of arguing semantics

In 2024, Alex de Waal was certain enough to tell the world it was already too late.
In 2026, Alex de Waal just isn't certain enough to say how many people died.
Alex de Waal once wrote that you need to overstate catastrophes in order to get attention. He was not joking.

France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education.
Everything the left says they want AND THEY'RE STILL PROTESTING AND BURNING SHIT DOWN.
All eyes on Paris

From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in.
In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes.
In Spain, for affordable rent and housing.
In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption.
@JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south.
He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment.
The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few.
This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future.
In America, let us listen to our young.
We need an economic and political transformation.
America's Next New Deal.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.
This little twat is unironically talking about losing his chains
I cant wait for him to get smacked by reality.
We all heard of killer cars
But have you heard of the self burning houses?!
France , Immigrants save the life of an elderly man when his house catches fire.
You won't see this in any other media outlet.

This video is from a 2020 apartment fire in Montereau-Fault-Yonne, France, where residents including Chechens living there for years rescued an elderly man from a balcony. It was reported by French media at the time and has recirculated online repeatedly.

Theyre doing the "mostly peacful" shit again
I see the protests in France are trending.
Since I just spent 10 days there during the heart of them, I figured I'd chime in with what's actually going on.
The news and clickbait accounts on X will show you the outlier events: burning buildings, raging violence and everything that triggers you.
I was in the heart of Aix en Provence during the biggest protest day and filmed the center where it was happening. (See below)
This is right the University, across from the church, dead center of town.
The students are dancing, singing, kicking soccer balls and have comically barricaded the entrance doors to force the school to close.
I visited many cities in France during the protest period, and saw zero violence or malpractice of any kind.
More broadly, I spent more than a month this year in France across 3 trips and 10+ cities, including Paris, Bordeaux, Aix en Provence, Nice, Antibes, Biarritz, and others, and it's incredibly safe, charming, peaceful and beautiful.
Every city I visited is nicer than almost every American city, and there's zero comparison.
So much that it wouldn't even be insulting to France to try, because nobody who has spent significant time in both countries would take this comparison seriously.
I spoke with the students at length about their views. I also spoke with waiters, drivers, merchants, staff and whoever.
They were all civil, well articulated and genuinely wanted to see change.
We can disagree about their reasoning, logic or whatever, and it's true that France has fiscal problems, but to chalk up the France protests to raging extremist violence from "pick your favorite group to blame", is a laughable misrepresentation of what's actually going on.
If you exclusively watch the news and believe the top 1% extreme situations, you have likely been psyoped.
Alright.. I really want to see this little bitch in prison.

Classic international diplomats move
Go a observe an olive harvest 🤡
#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.
No olives were harmed during this "harvest"
@ryangrim communist project is spreading more embarrassing lies
“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah.
Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah.
Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah.
"The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him.
Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.
