The Spin

Pro-Palestine narrative

Halevi has validated the official death toll that Israel has long dismissed as propaganda, confirming what genocide scholars and human rights groups have long documented. Israel has systematically targeted civilians in Gaza without meaningful legal constraints.

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel's military operations demonstrate remarkable restraint and precision targeting that contradicts genocide accusations. The IDF consistently provides warnings to civilians through phone calls, leaflets and evacuation notices, while delivering millions of tons of humanitarian aid to preserve civilian life.
