The Spin
Pro-Palestine narrative
Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. Its relentless assaults have left hospitals non-functional, healthcare workers killed or kidnapped, and those ill and wounded facing extreme challenges. Despite provisional orders from an international court, these attacks persist. The international community must take action to protect what is left of the enclave's healthcare infrastructure and stop this ethnic cleansing.
Pro-Israel narrative
Tel Aviv has no choice but to continue fighting; after its horrific Oct. 7 attack on Israeli civilians, Hamas must be defeated in order to prevent future conflicts. If Israel were to pull back at this stage, the terrorists would only regroup, as they've done in the past. Given the lack of alternatives, there is no other way but to see this campaign through until Hamas is wiped out.
