MARK ARNOLD- Canadian legal counsel to Bilin


Bilin is a Palestinian village that is struggling to survive. It is fighting to safeguard its land, its olive trees, its resources its liberty. In a landmark lawsuit, the farming village of Bil'in has brought legal proceedings in Montreal Quebec, against two Canadian corporations for violating both international and Canadian domestic law by acting as agents for Israel in constructing buildings to serve as housing for Israeli civilians in the West Bank, an area that is internationally recognized as territory occupied as a result of war.


Since 2005, the people of Bil'in have been demonstrating non-violently against the building of settlements and the separation wall on their land. Villagers have led weekly protests with the active participation from both Israeli and international peace activists. Bil'in has become an internationally celebrated symbol of Palestinian popular non-violent resistance to the ongoing construction of the Israeli separation wall. In constructing the wall, Israel will annex and colonize almost 60% of Bil'in's land. In Bilin, the wall consists of a system of fences, security roads and cameras stretching 50 metres in width; in other areas of the West Bank the wall towers over eight metres high and is fortified by armed military watchtowers.
