The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Antisemitism has exploded in the U.S. in recent years, reaching record levels not seen in decades, which has inevitably crossed over from civil society into the military ranks. This issue, which the Pentagon has been investigating since 2023, is of the utmost importance not only to the Jewish community but to U.S. national security. The Pentagon can't risk having officers, who are supposed to work with their allies in Israel, promoting vile, antisemitic rhetoric.

Anti-Israel narrative

The U.S. government has been suppressing and outright banning criticism of Israel for years, so it's no surprise that a free-thinking military officer was next on the chopping block. The only way Israel could get away with genociding Gaza, followed by a war with Iran, has been to cleanse the U.S. government, as well as public discourse, of the truth. Propaganda is their primary tool, and no one is free from its grasp.
