The Facts
Israeli police raided and demolished the home of a Palestinian family in the sensitive Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem on Wednesday night.
The operation began on Monday but faced resistance from the family and supporters, who took to the roof and threatened self-immolation.
The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
This is a war crime and violation of international law, stemming from vengefulness. The special needs school is simply a pretext for creating a Jewish majority in the disputed territory.
Pro-establishment narrative
The house was built illegally and was demolished following a court order. The school and sports fields that will replace it will benefit the Arab community.
