The Spin
Pro-Palestine narrative
Pro-Palestine protesters should be allowed to speak freely on campus and anywhere else their message needs to be heard. While some governments and universities are beginning to understand this, others, particularly in the US, are still silencing student speech while simultaneously allowing Palestinian activists to be doxxed, threatened, and harassed. The real issue at hand here is Israel's brutal treatment of Palestinians — a debate our institutions aren't allowing to happen, and pro-Palestinian speech is often unfairly conflated with hate speech.
Pro-Israel narrative
While pro-Palestine activists claim they're simply asserting their right to question Israel and defend racial minorities in the West, what they've actually done is categorize their racial counterparts as an enemy to be defeated at all costs. This has led Hamas sympathizers, under the protection of today's polarized political climate, to live peacefully in cities like London while Jews face the worst attack on their people since the Holocaust. Antisemitic speech can never be tolerated under any circumstances.
