The Facts
On Friday, Israeli and Palestinian authorities reported that a three-year-old Palestinian boy is in critical condition after being hit by Israeli fire in the West Bank on Thursday.
Palestinian authorities say that the boy and his father were sitting in a car when they came under fire as part of an Israeli military raid in the village of Nabi Saleh, northwest of Ramallah in the West Bank.
The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
While tragic, this was purely an accident. Israeli forces were shot at by terrorists and they had to return fire in self-defense. This father and child were sadly caught in the crossfire. There can only be hope for a speedy recovery for both of them.
Pro-Palestine narrative
No matter what Israel might say, this was no accident; it was the result of Israel's cruel raids in the occupied West Bank. Peaceful Palestinians and noncombatants are being murdered in their homes — the unlawful execution of Palestinians needs to end.
