The Spin

Narrative A

Roemer may finally be on the verge of being extradited to face sex-crimes charges in Mexico, but Israel still has a much bigger problem to deal with. Alleged foreign sexual predators have arrived in droves, abusing the country's openness to Jewish immigration to flee from justice. It's utterly unacceptable that Israel has become a safe haven for criminals.

Narrative B

The media has ignored the key principle of impartiality when it comes to reporting unverified — not to mention poorly supported — allegations against Roemer, effectively depriving him of his presumption of innocence. He fled to Israel due to political persecution in Mexico, and his extradition to his home country would be unethical.
