The Spin
Narrative A
People across the US — and the entire world — are standing up against the genocide in Gaza, and Maj. Mann has set an example for military officials who are consumed with guilt. For months, Israel has been killing thousands of Palestinian civilians and committing war crimes with funding and support from the US. University students, government officials, and now military officers are showing that the American people are against Israeli atrocities.
Narrative B
Despite the vocal — and often illegal — demonstrations by anti-Israel students and mainstream media narratives, most Americans support Israel. While nobody wants to minimize the tragedy of casualties, collateral is a necessary part of war. Hamas started this conflict on Oct. 7 when it brutally attacked Israeli civilians, and Israel is simply exercising its right to self-defense.
