The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
Israel is defending itself against an axis of terror spanning Lebanon, Gaza, Syria and Jordan. With Hezbollah silent, Hamas-linked militants launch rockets as Iran’s proxies plan sabotage from Amman to the West Bank. Israel’s security zones that it established in the region are a necessary shield.
Pro-Iran narrative
Israel’s indefinite presence in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria violates ceasefires. Airstrikes followed despite both Hezbollah and Hamas denying involvement. Claims of Iranian plots are used to obscure Israel's ongoing repression and justify its occupation of Palestine and presence in Lebanon.
