The Spin

Pro-Palestine narrative

While this report does not officially represent the UN, it is nonetheless authoritative as it comes from the organization's highest investigative body on human rights. Not only does it join the growing chorus of groups that have already labelled Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide, it is significant in that it compels third states to take preventative action, as a final ruling from the International Court of Justice could yet be years away.

Pro-Israel narrative

Not only is this report written by three Hamas proxies that have repeatedly made antisemitic statements in the past, it is based solely on regurgitated Hamas propaganda that has already been debunked. The authors made no attempt at addressing the refutations and thank goodness they're resigning. Their positions should not be filled again and the whole inquiry should be shut down. It Is Israel that was the victim of an attempted genocide when Hamas carried out its 2023 attacks.
