The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

The media is yet again parroting the absurd claims of terrorist sympathizers. Israel provided all those it legally detained with food, water and medical treatment. Furthermore, Thunberg and other detainees refused to expedite their deportation and insisted on prolonging their stay in custody for added publicity.

Pro-Palestine narrative

Considering the systematic abuse and torture that Palestinians face while in Israeli detention, in addition to the statements made by Ben-Gvir and other Israeli extremists, it's unsurprising that Israeli forces have abused the flotilla activists who were illegally kidnapped. Israel continues to demonstrate to the world that it is not a normal country and only confrontation will end its genocidal intentions.
