(Jerusalem Post) Prof. Hillel Frisch - There are three times more housing evictions proportionately in EU member states than there are regarding Palestinians in Judea and Samaria. In 2017, there 705,000 evictions in the EU. Yet a search for "housing demolitions" on the EU's official website finds that 80% of the reports on this worldwide phenomenon concern Palestinian construction. In any event, 8,690 new housing units are being constructed annually by Palestinians compared with 108 demolitions, many of which involve sealing only parts of a building.
