The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

The US and Israel continue to make empty promises with no genuine, tactical support to help Gaza's humanitarian catastrophe. With 33.5K Palestinians already dead and Israel delaying its promise to open new aid routes, estimates put the number of dead Gazans at 100K by August. The genocide has already begun, but the world, unfortunately, may not notice for months.

Pro-establishment narrative

No one doubts that Gazans are starving, but that has to do with Hamas stealing aid deliveries. Estimates also show that Palestinian bakeries still have the capacity to make over 2M rolls and pita breads per day, with its land still able to produce enough fruits and vegetables. Israel has taken responsibility for its World Central Kitchen mistake, but it can't do so for the plethora of other incidents, not its fault.
