The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Anti-Jewish terrorism in Argentina has erupted periodically for decades — prompting the US and its Latin American allies to form tighter intelligence and counterterrorism cooperation. As the West has shifted much of its focus toward Russia and China, it cannot forget about the rebound of Islamic terrorism spreading from the Middle East to South America. Washington must bolster its partnerships with countries including Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay if they want to stop more terrorist acts from occurring.

Wilson Center

Establishment-critical narrative

While there may be planned terrorist plots in Western countries today, it's also important to understand Israel's history, from decades ago to 9/11 to today's conflict in Gaza, of meddling in the region to garner global support. Israel has propped up dictators in places such as Argentina and Chile to grow its global arms trade in the West and agenda in the Middle East. To top it all off, Israel has been protected by the US as the two superpowers work in tandem to expand their so-called 'war on terror.'
