The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Though Israel, of course, has legitimate security concerns, it must not prevent aid from entering Gaza or the West Bank. For Gaza to rebuild and for life to return to normal, Palestinians will need massive amounts of resources to cope with a dire humanitarian situation.

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel has consistently proven that these international NGOs have transformed from apolitical humanitarian organizations into activist groups. By using libelous and inaccurate terms with the clear political goal of delegitimizing and demonizing Israel, aid groups are subverting their own mission. Furthermore, it has been thoroughly documented that Hamas has infiltrated numerous aid groups, using them as cover for its operations.

Pro-Palestine narrative

It should be clear after over two years of grinding brutality that Israel's true goal is to destroy Gaza and starve its people. Israel seeks to make Gaza unlivable for Palestinians so that it can ethnically cleanse the enclave for Jewish settlement, all with the support of the United States. Indeed, Israel's genocidal policies have continued even after the ceasefire was implemented.
