Refugee Forever

While the city of Jenin has been a refugee camp for over 50 years...amounting to Palestinians being refugees in their own country, the village of Bil'in has been staging peaceful demonstrations for 2 1/2 years, hoping to prevent the destruction of their village as the Great Wall of Israel bulldozes it's way through their homes and olive trees. The residents of Bil'in have remarkably held their course of non-violence, with courage and integrity as
Israeli soldiers and machinery ravage their land and lives.
They have been staging peaceful protests hoping to keep their village from being destroyed, and in so doing serve as a positive inspiration for many faced with the same plight. Unfortunately parts of Palestine and Israel do not recieve all of the news, all of the time. Images of Bil'in, research yourself http://www.bilin-village.org/
