The Spin
Pro-Palestine narrative
Nakba Day not only marks a historical ethnic cleansing event in which roughly 750k Palestinians were forcibly removed from their homes, but an ongoing reality that Palestinians continue to face today. Israeli attempts to eradicate this history should be resisted.
Pro-Israel narrative
The creation of a Jewish state and sanctuary after millions of Jews were exterminated should not be called a "catastrophe." This label minimizes Jewish suffering and promotes anti-Semitic violence. It should be abolished.
