The Spin
Narrative A
This horrific attack is but the latest example of a fanatical Arab terrorist killing Israeli civilians. While this shouldn't be used to condemn the whole of Bedouin society, Israel must respond with a heavy hand.
Narrative B
This attack is a tragedy, but one cannot ignore the context in which it occured. Southern Israel has been a hotbed of discrimination and displacement of Bedouins, which has led to some members of the community seeing no other way to resist.
