The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
The return to war will not save the hostages. Furthermore, Israel's policy of blocking aid from entering Gaza is creating widespread starvation across the strip. Both sides need to make concessions so that the ceasefire can be fully implemented and the hostages are returned.
Pro-Israel narrative
Once again, the U.N. and other Hamas enablers are spreading the lie that Israel is purposefully using starvation as a weapon of war. Studies last year found that there has been more than enough food entering Gaza to feed its population, yet international organizations continue to perpetuate false narratives. Indeed, the problem, like it has been since day one, is Hamas and its enablers.
Pro-Palestine narrative
It should be clear after over a year of grinding brutality that Israel's true goal is to destroy Gaza and starve its people. Indeed, starvation is an integral part of Israel's genocidal campaign. Children are on the verge of starving to death in their mothers' arms, yet the United States and international community have failed to end this travesty.
