The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

It is simply undeniable that the war in Gaza has taken a terrible toll on its population, and the US is committed to alleviating that suffering. Nonetheless, the UN has failed to adequately address Israeli hostages who are also suffering. The only way to assist the Palestinians in Gaza is to work toward a cease-fire that is conditioned on the release of the hostages and the end of Hamas' rule.

FOX News

Pro-Israel narrative

The UN and other Hamas enablers continue to spread the lie that Israel is purposefully causing a famine in Gaza. At every turn, the UN has worked to undermine Israel's security, at times even turning a blind eye to the terrorist groups Israel is confronting. Indeed, the blame for Gaza's destruction squarely falls on Hamas and its enablers.

Jerusalem Post

Pro-Palestine narrative

Israel continues to isolate itself internationally due to its genocidal campaign in Gaza and its insidious aggression against Lebanon. As Israeli attacks kill thousands, the US continues to shield Israel from accountability and ensure that it is armed to the teeth. This war will only end when the US ends its support for Israel's genocidal ambitions in Gaza and the wider region.
