Approved: 119 New Homes for Shilo

Advertisements [?]

Israel has approved construction of over 100 homes in the Samaria community of Shilo.

The radical left Peace Now organization - which receives 34% of its funds from foreign sources - decried the move saying it would bring "fresh international condemnation."

Hagit Ofran of the radical leftist Peace Now organization said the group only learned the new units were officially approved after it petitioned Israel's Supreme Court in March, asking construction of an initial 50 housing units be stopped.

Instead of succeeding in halting construction, however, Peace Now received a formal government response saying the building was approved.

Well, not quite the result Peace Now was going for, was it?
