The Spin

Pro-Palestine narrative

Israel's starvation campaign in Gaza signals a genocidal intent to erase Palestine, not seek peace. Targeting both Muslims and Christians, Israel is pursuing regional dominance via a U.S.-backed, expanded Abraham Accords vision. Despite the U.N., ICC, and even Israeli NGOs condemning this as genocide, Western support persists, exposing an inconspicuous strategy of complete de-Palestinization.

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel has delivered 1.86M tons of aid, mostly food, since October 2023, rivaling the famous Berlin Airlift. Claims of intentional starvation are often distorted, frequently citing cases involving children with pre-existing conditions. If anyone is to blame for a lack of aid, it's the U.N., which prefers to use Hamas-linked forces rather than the IDF. The U.S. and Israel are working to not only end this war but also rebuild the region so that every population, including Palestinians, can flourish.
