The Spin

Narrative A

The U.N. has consistently documented credible patterns of sexual violence by Israeli and Russian forces, and this move is critical to ensuring accountability and protecting civilians. Sexual violence must never be tolerated as a weapon of war.

Narrative B

These allegations are completely baseless and rooted in biased publications that ignore the real perpetrators. The U.N. is disproportionately focusing on Israel and Russia while downplaying atrocities by non-state actors such as Hamas — undermining its credibility and impartiality.
