Palestinians in Israel, 20% of the population, receive 5% of new housing units

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/middle-east/17793-palestinians-in-israel-20-of-the-population-receive-5-of-new-housing-units

Palestinian citizens of Israel face systematic discrimination in housing policy, according to new figures from legal advocacy organisation Adalah released in a new study to mark 'Land Day'.
---
The discrimination faced by Palestinian citizens of Israel is particularly striking when compared to the situation in illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

In 2014, the ILA published tenders for 3,163 housing units in Jewish settlements, compared to 1,844 units in Palestinian communities in Israel – even though the population of the latter is double that of the former.

Adalah also pointed to the ILA's sale in 2014 of 77 properties belonging to Palestinian refugees as further evidence of the state's "racist and discriminatory policies."

If anyone doubts that NGO-Monitor is almost 100% Hasbara, they can follow your link and find out for themselves.

The Wikipedia article on NGO-Monitor is full of quotes of what some people think about NGO-Monitor. For example the head of the New Israel Fund has this to say (snip, under heading “Objectives”): “According to Naomi Chazan, NGO Monitor is closely linked to a "tightly knit, coordinated set of associations" whose goal is to undermine liberal voices in Israel and entrench a negative image of them by means of having "continuously hammered away at their key message—in this instance, the abject disloyalty of certain civil society organizations and their funders and their collusion with Israel's most nefarious external detractors".” (snip)

It means justice in Arabic. Perhaps the very name makes it biased for some posters here.

Now, what of NGO monitor? If Mosby, or any here, cite NGO Monitor as a means to discredit other sources, should we not examine NGO also?

(http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/ngo_monitor)

From the above link:

NGO Monitor is a Jerusalem-based organization linked to right-wing and neoconservative sectors in the United States and Israel that aims to curb what it regards as the undue influence of human rights groups critical of Israeli policies. Similar in purpose and ideological outlook to UN Watch (affiliated with the American Jewish Committee) and Global Governance Watch (a joint project of the Federalist Society and the American Enterprise Institute), NGO Monitor endeavors to marginalize the influence of certain human rights groups by claiming that they are biased, hypocritical, and/or anti-Semitic.
