New Housing for Bilin

Jewish workers place a new caravan to be used as a synagogue on the eastern side of the Jewish settlement of Modiin Illite, near the village of Bilin on 26 May 2008.

Palestinian villagers are suing two Canadian companies, accusing them in a Quebec court of war crimes for building the Jewish settlement near the village of Bilin.

The writ, made public on 10 July, claims Green Park International and Green Mount International are building and selling homes in Modiin Illit on land that belongs to the Palestinian village of Bilin.

It was reported, that the housing like what is being built in Jerusalem is for all citizens of Palestine regardless of their religion and furthermore, for the benefit of the villagers in Bilin.

If the people in Bilin wish decent housing, I strongly suggest they drop the lawsuit for there is no crime being committed against the Canadian companies nor towards the Jewish workers to be building, said housing.

There are a few housing projects going on in different parts of Palestine from my understanding, to relieve not just the grave housing shortage in Palestine, but to relieve the refugee problem; with decent housing for the benefit as I said, for everyone.
