ISRAELI HOUSING PROJECT This is indeed alarming and shocking news
That should Goans of any illusions disabuse. Two thousand luxury apartments Clearly represents Something that we cannot and should not excuse. Goans in general certainly cannot afford In such expensive apartments to board. In other words, we will see two thousand Outside families settled in our land. Can this in our hearts strike an unresponsive chord? The demographics of Goa are already under threat And we continue as hewers of wood and drawers of water to sweat Is this what liberation has come to mean? Can we continue to treat this as routine? What is worse, both political parties seem such evil deeds to abet. Isn't it, as Shakespeare once said, passing strange, That the opposition BJP has undergone a curious change All their energy seems to be spent And instead of challenging the government They're doing nothing – this is the new definition of political shortchange. -Shanti Dhoot Re: Message: 5 of 12 Jun 2008 From: "Eddie Fernandes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] Israeli housing projects in Goa Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Title: Yaakov Engel, Hezi Hermoni in Goa housing projects Sub-title: The two will invest $500 million in three projects.
