The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

After Hamas' heinous attack on Israel, the country has a right and a duty to carry out this operation against Gaza — including taking control of the enclave's security for an indefinite period — to ensure such an attack on Israel does not take place again.

Pro-Palestine narrative

As Israel has done time again with the Palestinians, although it illegally occupies their land, it claims that it is in fact the victim. While Hamas' attacks were tragic, the decades of death and destruction imposed on Palestinians by Israel that incubated this violence cannot be ignored.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 50% chance that Israel will lift the blockade on electricity, food, gasoline, and medicine in Gaza by December 2023, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
