The Spin

Pro-Palestine narrative

Israel's brutal treatment of peaceful humanitarian activists exposes the regime's desperate attempts to hide its genocide in Gaza. Activists were beaten, humiliated, forced to kneel for hours, and subjected to sleep deprivation torture while being denied basic medical care and clean water.

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel properly detained Hamas-linked provocateurs who violated international law by attempting to breach a legitimate naval blockade as a PR stunt. The only documented violence came from a flotilla activist who bit a female medical staff member. These so-called humanitarians are nothing more than aggressive troublemakers spreading pre-planned propaganda.
