The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

These U.N. raids expose the Houthis' true nature as a terrorist organization that weaponizes humanitarian aid and targets innocent relief workers. The timing after Israel's precision strike shows these militants prioritize revenge over helping Yemen's starving population. International law means nothing to Iranian proxies who systematically abuse aid workers while millions face famine.

Establishment-critical narrative

Israel's assassination of Yemen's prime minister and cabinet members represents a blatant violation of sovereignty that has destabilized the entire region. The targeting of a routine government meeting shows Israel's reckless escalation beyond Gaza into broader Middle Eastern conflicts. Yemen cannot become another battleground for Israeli aggression.
