The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel has been warning Hamas about this attack for months now, and with Israeli hostages still in captivity, this limited operation is far from an overreaction. While critics claim Hamas' acceptance of a deal should bar Israel from invading, they're leaving out the fact that the deal they accepted was not the one agreed to by Israel. Hamas also launched a coordinated strike Sunday that killed four soldiers, proving it's still an active threat with no desire to disarm.

Jerusalem Post

Pro-Palestine narrative

The pretext for Israel's attack on Rafah is supposedly to eliminate Hamas and its leadership. However, the extensive destruction and casualties in Gaza indicate broader retaliation by Israel. With tens of thousands of civilians killed and 80% of buildings destroyed in the north, civilians have fled to Rafah. Given Israel's consistent pattern of grievous and unnecessary harm towards Palestinian civilians, the US must halt any support that could make the situation worse.
