The Spin

Right narrative

The Gaza takeover is the quickest route to victory and hostage recovery. Hamas refuses to surrender despite losing most of Gaza, leaving Israel no choice but to complete its defeat. This targeted approach will establish safe zones for civilians, eliminate the final terrorist strongholds that threaten regional security, and bring an end to ongoing threats.

Left narrative

The takeover of Gaza City risks sparking another humanitarian crisis, leading to further deaths and displacement. This decision should be reversed, as it could hinder hostage rescue operations and undermine efforts toward a peaceful resolution. Continuing down this path threatens to worsen an already dire situation and derail any progress toward long-term stability in the region.

Pro-Palestine narrative

The international community must shoulder its responsibility and act against Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. For 22 months, Palestine has faced relentless violence rooted in Israel's expansionist ideology, aiming to seize the entire occupied Palestinian territory. This systematic oppression and destruction demand urgent global intervention to uphold justice, protect human rights, and prevent further atrocities. Silence enables impunity.
