Fair enough, but it applies to all not just jewish owned properties, so its not Anti semetic as the Israeli government claims.
In recent decades property restitution has become deeply mired in corruption, with title claims being bought and sold, and tenants suddenly finding themselves thrown out of their apartments from one day to the next. Jewish claims account for just a minority of total claims, most of which have been made by Poles.
As a result, the law received the backing of Poland's opposition as well as the government.
