¹According to our friends @NGOmonitor, the UK government has given almost $13 million to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), an NGO that works tirelessly to undermine Israel’s legal rights in Judea & Samaria. 
²As part of #BattleforAreaC, PA is coordinating a legal campaign against Israel. PA creates facts on the grounds, builds without permits on lands under Israeli jurisdiction, then drags out & exploits the Israeli legal process to prevent demolition orders from being executed.
³But in order to wage a legal battle, you need $$$. That’s where NGOs such as @NRC_Norway
come in. Under guise of “humanitarian aid”, these NGOs provide legal counselling & assistance to Palestinians squatting on Israeli state lands, in defiance of int'l law & Oslo Accords.

According to official data, every year Civil Administration tears down between 200-250 structures. So even if you hear of the odd demolition, it’s like a drop in the sea. PA is carrying out mass, rapid, illegal construction, changing the map by creating facts on the ground.
Looking at the number of illegal structures doesn’t tell the full story, however. While Israeli-Jewish construction is often ‘upwards’, the Palestinian-Arab construction tends to be ‘sideways’ – in other words, spreading over huge swathes of land.
Today, we held a field tour in Judea & Samaria with Likud MK @ArielKallner. The tour focused on the PA’s main project in the last decade: land grabs in Area C. We discussed challenges in #BattleforAreaC, particularly the #EU🇪🇺 backing of the PA’s illegal efforts.
After the tour, MK Kallner said: “The mass take-over of Area C is planned, and purposely carried out by people who want this land for themselves. >
> As someone who has pledged to stand up for the Land of #Israel, I cannot accept this reality, and the State should not accept it either. The Civil Administration is incapable of doing its job. We have to act with full strength – this is a national mission.” >
Key numbers in the #BattleforAreaC:
🟥In 2009, Jews populated 47,000 dunams of built-up space in Area C compared to 46,000 for Palestinians.
🟥By 2019, Palestinians held 79,000 dunams compared to 57,000 inhabited by Jews.

We are losing the battle. Time to wake up & stop the incessant, EU-funded, PA-orchestrated push to grab more & more Israeli land! ⏰

"But the Palestinians have nowhere to build!"
Wrong! ❌
We mapped out over 60% of available land reserves in Areas A & B, which are under #PA control. They can build there without Israeli permits.

This week, radical left-wing organizations & media publicized that #IDF held drills “in Palestinian villages” in Training Ground 918 & forced “local residents out of their homes”. Time to talk some facts.

1. Training Ground 918 in the South Hebron Hills was declared a firing zone by the IDF in the early ‘80s.
2. It’s a desert area, and like all other training grounds, was empty – besides sometimes functioning as grounds for grazing.
