The Spin

Anti-Israel narrative

Israel's U.S.-backed Navy committed international crimes by kidnapping Colombian activists delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza in international waters. Netanyahu, already wanted by the International Criminal Court, ordered another violation of international law against peaceful anti-genocide activists. This latest escalation shows Israel's desperation to maintain its siege while committing ongoing genocide against Palestinians.

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel lawfully intercepted flotilla ships attempting to break its legitimate maritime blockade of Hamas-controlled Gaza after issuing clear warnings. The navy safely detained activists, including Greta Thunberg, and offered proper channels for aid delivery through established security inspections. This blockade remains essential to prevent Hamas from smuggling weapons after their devastating Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
