The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

The Israeli Defense Forces had no option but to repel a violent attack against sovereign Israeli territory. Hamas must face the consequences for its vicious and terrorizing actions — this includes massive offensive military operations in Gaza to respond to historic attacks on Israeli soil.

Pro-Palestine narrative

Extraordinary violence has been committed on both sides, and Tel Aviv bears a great deal of responsibility for creating oppressive conditions within Gaza as well as its recent attempts to divide the Al-Aqsa Mosque between Muslims and Jews. It's vital that Israel avoids creating a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza with its military actions.
