The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

The UNGA has once again rewarded Hamas for the atrocities it committed on Oct. 7. It should be obvious to everyone that Palestine is not a state, and resolutions like this, passed at such a critical time in Israel's existential struggle with terror, only serve to delegitimize Israel's security concerns.

Pro-Palestine narrative

Though the US will almost certainly veto any resolution that would lead to a Palestinian state, it is necessary to demonstrate how isolated Israel has become due to the massacres it has committed in Gaza. The resolution also demonstrates the US' hypocrisy and moral cowardice, as it endlessly shields Israel from accountability while claiming to support human rights.
