THERE are two separate Sheikh Jarrah stories - one read and watched in the news and another that receives little media coverage or due analysis.
The obvious story is that of the nightly raids and violence meted out by Israeli police and Jewish extremists against Palestinians in the devastated East Jerusalem neighbourhood.
For weeks, thousands of Jewish extremists have targeted Palestinian communities in Jerusalem’s Old City. Their objective is the removal of Palestinian families from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood. They are not acting alone. Their riots and rampages are directed by a well-coordinated leadership composed of extremist zionist and Jewish groups, such as the Otzma Yehudit party and the Lehava Movement.
