The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Though the situation is still unclear, it seems relatively certain that Israeli forces have opened fire on Palestinians seeking aid. These incidents further demonstrate that the GHF's operations have been a failure and that the U.N. should handle aid distribution. Both sides need to make concessions so that the ceasefire can be fully implemented and the hostages are returned.

BBC News

Pro-Israel narrative

Israeli forces do not intentionally kill civilians, and such accusations in the media only fuel antisemitic attacks against Jews around the world, such as the most recent barbaric attack in Colorado. Hamas is working overtime to sabotage the GHF so that it can take control of aid like it has throughout the war. Indeed, the media must stop parroting Hamas propaganda.

Jerusalem PostTimes of Israel

Pro-Palestine narrative

Like the flour massacre and medic massacre before it, Israeli forces have committed more genocidal attacks on Palestinian civilians and then lied about it. There was simply no cause for any of these attacks on aid seekers save for Israel's objective to kill as many Palestinians as possible. The Trump administration, just like the previous administration, has lied about the war and has fully supported Israel as it continues its genocidal policies.
