Currently in East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, where hundreds of Palestinian families are under threat of either being forced from their homes or having their homes demolished. Just now Israeli govt showed up with bulldozer to demolish one of the Odeh family homes.
The entire neighborhood of Palestinians have gathered on their balconies to watch their neighbors home get demolished. Tens of families were given the same demolition order by the Israeli government. The UN considers this area occupied under international law.
When demolition order is given, Israeli gov tells Palestinians they can either demolish their homes themselves or the govt does it, but charges them hundreds of thousands of shekels for equipment & special forces they deploy. Palestinians have refused as a matter of principle
