The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Israel doesn't want to see a military escalation along its northern border, but it's ready to respond to terrorist threats against Israeli civilians. Hezbollah continues to act provocatively at the border and should keep in mind that another war with Israel would be devastating for Lebanon.

Pro-Palestine narrative

The rocket fire from Lebanon cannot be separated from Israel's massive assault on Jenin earlier this week. It's Israel that continues to provoke the situation with its constant attacks on Palestinians. There will only be peace and security when Israel ends its occupation.
