The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
It's essential to target military infrastructure used by the Houthis for terrorist activities and weapons smuggling to degrade their fighting capabilities and protect Israeli citizens and international shipping from ongoing threats.
Pro-Palestine narrative
The Israeli attacks targeted civilian infrastructure, including ports and power stations, demonstrating Western hypocrisy. The Houthi operations are legitimate responses to support Palestinians and stop genocide in Gaza.
