ERUSALEM, June 29 (Reuters) - Israel demolished a Palestinian shop in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Silwan on Tuesday, triggering scuffles between police and protesters who accused authorities of discriminatory enforcement of building permits in the holy city.
Palestinians seek East Jerusalem, which Israel captured in a 1967 war, for a future state. Israel deems all of Jerusalem its capital - a status not recognised internationally - and has encouraged Jewish settlement of predominantly Palestinian areas.
A bulldozer escorted by Israeli police flattened Harbi Rajabi's butchers shop in the neighbourhood which is overlooked by the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest shrine in Islam and the most sensitive site in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The shop is one of at least eight properties that residents said were slated for demolition. The residents say many have been there for decades, even from before 1967. The authorities have earmarked the land for a park and say the shops and homes have been built illegally.
Mahmoud Basit who runs the butchers told Reuters 14 family members depended on income from there. "We have no other way to support our families,” said Basit, who added he would have to look for new work from scratch.
Deputy Jerusalem Mayor Arieh King said "around 20" buildings in Silwan - which Israel refers to by its Hebrew name Shiloach - had received demolition orders. Around another 60 buildings there were in violation of Israeli zoning laws, he told Reuters.
Palestinians in Silwan say it is near-impossible to get building permits. They see the demolitions as designed to drive them from Jerusalem. Disputing this, King said the municipality had approved hundreds of new Palestinian homes in Silwan.
Palestinian medics said 13 people were injured in Tuesday's confrontations in Silwan. Police said two officers were hurt by stone-throwers and that three people were arrested for disorderly conduct and assault.
The municipality had given Palestinians until June 28 to dismantle the structures themselves. King said the land would be cleared to make way for the park and public buildings, adding that Silwan's biblical links made it "an important historical site".
Nader Abu Diab, who also received a demolition order, lives in fear of the knock on the door from municipal inspectors.
"My grandchildren ask me questions and I can’t answer them. They're children. What can I tell them? That they’re going to demolish our home?" Abu Diab, 55, said.
His brother, Fakhri Abu Diab said he applied seven times for an Israeli permit to expand his home in Silwan "but it was always rejected”. He added that over a hundred Palestinians could become homeless if the current round of demolitions continues.
The future of another East Jerusalem neighbourhood, Sheikh Jarrah, was one of the flashpoints at the heart of fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants last month.

Damn those terrorist Hamas shop owners, getting in the way of a peaceful Israeli bulldozer just peacefully minding its business. (/sarcasm since the last time I used sarcasm without referencing it no one got the joke)

What's the other side of the story? How do the Jews see it?
« The Bible says it is our land ».
This how they see it.
Then the more science-oriented ones would post some archeological studies to show how they were the natives there, while completely ignoring the compelling genetic proofs that the Palestinians are as natives. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/hist ... arabs-jews
When you corner them with these facts they go back to the bible bullshitting.
I was even told by some of them that genetics don’t matter, the land was promised by GOD to a people of a common faith not a common lineage. And then they says even the Quran talks about the promised land to Jewish people. I say f**k these two books, of course it would says so too as Islam originated from a messianic jewish cult .
And one time a blue-eyed super whitie blondie sent me an old photo of « palestiniens on camels » as a « proof » they originally came from Jordan and Saudi Arabia - probably mixing up bedouins with city dwellers.
Yeah, as if she does look so local does she? lol
It’s not like they are reasonable people you can discuss with. Religious people can never be truly reasonable. Israelis are brainwashed people entirely.

All 3 Abrahamic faiths, Islam, Judaism and Christianity unfortunately are very great at brainwashing and rewriting history to suit political agendas
That's what makes the Palestinian conflict so damn intractable. Everyone tries framing it in the context of archaic bronze age mythologies and here I am as an agnostic Palestinian shaking my head at being a minority that understands that whatever some dumb book says people living on a land shouldnt be kicked out unjustly
