The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Though settlements are neither the origin nor the cause of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the sitting Israeli government must do more to curb escalating settler violence in the West Bank. The US is always willing to accommodate Israel's security concerns, but Israel must also be willing to work with the US and curb extremism so that a durable peace to this conflict can be realized.

PBS NewsHour

Pro-Palestine narrative

Israel continues to show its complicity in the settler movement, which is primarily motivated by the desire to permanently expel Palestinians from their land and dash any hope of a Palestinian state. Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank were brutal before Oct. 7, and now Palestinians are being killed and displaced at an unprecedented rate. Nothing excuses the endemic violence Israelis have unleashed in the West Bank, and the situation is only getting worse.

Human Rights Watch

Pro-Israel narrative

While a tiny minority of Jewish communities in the West Bank, which they refer to as Judea and Samaria due to the region's ancient history, do commit violence against Palestinians, the pernicious myth of "settler violence" creates a morally abhorrent equivalence with Hamas' terrorism. Since Oct. 7, incidents of "settler violence" have reduced, in contrast to mounting Palestinian terrorist attacks. Yet, the media is only interested in violence committed by Israelis.
