The Spin

Pro-Palestine narrative

For months, people have been warning and reporting that Israel is systematically wiping out and erasing whole Palestinian cities and villages. These images from Google now prove it. There needs to be widespread boycotting and cutting off of diplomatic relations with Israel, alongside sanctions, to stop it from carrying out its project of extermination and colonization.

Pro-Israel narrative

Hamas started all this when it carried out a mass attack against Israel, killing civilians and kidnapping innocent people, forcing the country to defensively respond. Since prompting the conflict, the terror group has deliberately embedded itself among the civilian population, muddying the principles of both distinction and proportionality. Merely pointing to the outcome of this war without appreciating the nuance of the fighting tells an incomplete story.
