Last week, European Union officials had the chutzpah to hold a tour of the “East” Jerusalem neighborhood Givat HaMatos in order to criticize Israel for its plans to build an additional 1,257 homes in the neighborhood.

The four videos we filmed from the encounter were viewed on Facebook alone more than 175,000 times (!), and our activities were widely covered by the media, including in one of Germany’s largest papers.
