The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
Israeli forces had no other choice than to use lethal force against the two Palestinian terrorists hiding out in Nablus. The two men were involved in previous shootings, and their neutralization was necessary to safeguard Israel's security.
Pro-Palestine narrative
Despite a lack of mainstream coverage, Israeli forces attacked the house with explosives and gunfire, evidenced by destruction of the house's upper floor. Violence in the West Bank will continue as long as the occupation continues, and peace cannot be achieved until the occupation is ended.
