The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
The evidence continues to pile up documenting Hamas' brutal terrorist attack on Oct. 7. Gangs of murderous rapists attacked innocent Israeli civilians throughout southern Israel, humiliating their victims as much as possible. Though the world may choose to forget what happened on that fateful day, Hamas' terrorism is the reason for the war in Gaza.
Establishment-critical narrative
Accusations of sexual assault have been systematically weaponized to justify Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Many of the reports regarding alleged acts of sexual assault have proved to be false. This is not to say that sexual assault on Oct. 7 did not occur, but that some claims have been based on faulty evidence or speculation.
