The Spin

Narrative A

The British government is rightly cracking down on any form of anti-Semitism in the wake of Hamas' terrorist attacks in Israel. Hamas is already proscribed as a terror organization, and anyone showing them support should be prosecuted with the full strength of the law.

Narrative B

While the atrocities committed by Hamas must be condemned to the fullest extent, they must not be conflated with legitimate Palestinian issues. Braverman's intentions may be true, but curtailing freedom of speech and expression is concerning.
