Eugene Kontorovich tweeted about a Palestinian construction company that is offering homes for settlers in areas recognized by the UN and EU as being occupied territory. From Al Watan Voice in 2017:
Union Construction and Investment (UCI), a leading real estate developer in Palestine, has launched an exclusive collection of exquisite villas as part of the prestigious Cyprus Beach Homes development, nestled on the beautiful mountainside of the quaint and charming beach city of Kyrenia in the Turkish part of Cyprus (Northern Cyprus).Here's video showing the residences at the webpage of the development:
Cyprus Beach Homes enjoys unobstructed views of stunning mountains and pristine sandy beaches, and is just a 10-minute walk or 3-minute drive from a beautiful Mediterranean beach, along with major shops, restaurants, pharmacies, hotels and other public services.
The stylish development boasts a total of 39 super deluxe villas, with only 23 still available. These residences are ready for immediate occupancy and come in two styles: two-floor villas with areas of 197 – 228 m2 and terraces of 67 & 84 m2 on plot areas of 650 m2; and three-floor villas with areas of 268 and 320 m2 and terraces of 95 m2 on plots areas of 650 m2.
All villas are part of an exclusive community with fully integrated services. Each residence is characterized by an open concept which combines varied, modern spaces with attractive Mediterranean design. In addition, each villa enjoys its own independent plot of land and a private 4x8 meter swimming pool and allocated parking space. A one-year maintenance guarantee is also included with each residence.
In regards to selecting Kyrenia as the location for Cyprus Beach Homes, UCI’s Chairman, Dr. Mohamed Al Sabawi explained that UCI could not turn down an excellent opportunity to provide luxury residences on one of the most beautiful tourist islands in the world.
“Cyprus is an extremely favourable investment and tourism destination, and is somewhere that we are keeping an eye on as we continue to explore expansion opportunities there,” said Dr. Al Sabawi. “It presents an ideal mix of investment benefits that make it a very attractive place for developers looking to expand into the EU zone.”
And a map of the new settlement, complete with the swimming pools:
Here is a settlement with infrastructure, swimming pools and luxury villas. And no one is the slightest bit bothered. No screaming headlines when the settlement was announced, no UN resolutions when it was built, no one noting the irony of Palestinians, who claim that occupation is a war crime on par with genocide, are complicit in illegally occupying Cyprus' lands. People asking for advice on visiting Kyrenia on TripAdvisor are not subjected to long harangues on how they would be supporting the illegal occupation. Artists aren't being pressured to boycott Turkey.
The day that Palestinians and Europeans protest outside the offices of UCI would be the day that one can begin to take their hysterical screaming about Israel's supposed crimes seriously.
