The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
Israel and its financial backers have covertly funded military actions against Palestinian civilians for a while now, using deceptive methods like media manipulation to obscure their involvement. From Autel drones to bomb civilians in Gaza to U.S. nonprofits funding sniper units who murder children, these financiers are likely implicated in war crimes.
Pro-Israel narrative
While Israel faces accusations of secretive war funding, the media often ignore how U.S.-based nonprofits funnel millions to groups tied to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Popular Front. These entities, with documented terrorist links, raise funds through tax-exempt channels, fueling antisemitism and terrorism, yet receive less scrutiny than Israel's actions.
