The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Following the scale of atrocities carried out by Hamas in Israel, Tel Aviv has every right to defend itself from terrorists, including taking proactive actions in Gaza to ensure these kinds of catastrophic attacks never happen again. Israel will not rest until the Hamas threat is eliminated.

Pro-Palestine narrative

The actions carried out by Israel are not singling out Hamas alone, but are exacting a collective punishment on Palestinians as a whole. An already-impoverished population of 2.3M people is now facing a humanitarian catastrophe of an epic scale.
