The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Israeli forces must immediately investigate these incidents of using Palestinians as human shields, as the practice is illegal under international law. Unlike its enemies, Israel works to investigate violations committed by its forces in good faith.

Pro-Palestine narrative

Israel has been using Palestinians as human shields as part of an unofficial yet systematic policy for decades. Talk of "investigations" is pointless, as said investigations almost never result in anything meaningful. This case only adds to the pile of evidence that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
