The Spin
Pro-Palestine narrative
Though Airwars did not comment on Israel's intent, its report is yet another piece of thorough and well-researched evidence that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Indeed, its findings speak for themselves, as the first month of the conflict was so deadly to civilians that it's simply incomparable to other 21st century conflicts.
Pro-Israel narrative
Israel, as always, is singled out and smeared for actions any other country would take if over 1K of its people were massacred. The deaths of civilians in Gaza is tragic, but this is the fault of Hamas, who uses the civilian population as human shields, not Israel.
