The Spin

Pro-Palestine narrative

Yet again, Israel is committing crimes against humanity by killing Palestinians with wanton aggression. The past year has been one of the deadliest years for Palestinians since the second Intifada, with hundreds of Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli regime. Israel must be held accountable for its crimes.

Pro-Israel narrative

Though Palestine supporters like to pretend that the Israeli military seeks to kill Palestinians with abandon, in reality, it's simply responding to Palestinian violence and terrorism. This has been a deadly year for Israelis, including a bomb attack in Jerusalem last week, so it's no surprise that the military needs to increase its operations in the West Bank. The violence will end when Palestinians put down their weapons.
