The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

This report reiterates without a shadow of a doubt the scale of Hamas atrocities on Oct. 7. Hamas must disarm completely for there to be peace in Gaza. The results of this report confirm what has been known for over two years, but it's still a major confirmation by the international community about what was inflicted on Israel.

Pro-Palestine narrative

There is massive missing context from Amnesty's Report, which is the massive violence unleashed by Israel on Palestinian territories before and after the events of Oct. 7. Hamas has a disarmament plan, and it's worth exploring the role of international peacekeepers to safeguard the people of Gaza from Israeli aggression going forward.
