Silwan
Silwan ((アラビア語:سلوان),〔Palmer, 1881, pp. (319 ), (329 )〕 ) is a predominantly Palestinian neighborhood on the outskirts of the Old City of Jerusalem.〔Meron Benvenisti, ('Shady Dealings in Silwan,' ). Ir Amim for an Equitable and Stable Jerusalem, May, 2009 p.5.〕 Forty Jewish families also live in the area.〔Shimi Friedman, 'Adversity in a Snowball Fight: Jewish Childhood in the Muslim village of Sillwan,' in Drew Chappell (ed.) ''Children under construction: critical essays on play as curriculum,'' Peter Lang Publishing 2010, pp.259-276, pp.260-261.〕 Silwan is located in East Jerusalem.〔(Archaeology and the struggle for Jerusalem ) BBC News. 5 February 2010〕
After 1948 war, the village fell under Jordanian occupation. Jordanian rule lasted until the 1967 Six-Day War, since which it has been occupied by Israel. Silwan is administered as part of the Jerusalem Municipality, and is part of the J1 sub-district of the Jerusalem Governorate. In 1980, Israel, without formally annexing it, incorporated East Jerusalem (of which Silwan is a part) into its claimed capital city Jerusalem through the Jerusalem Law, a basic law in Israel. The move is considered by the international community as illegal under international law.
Depending on how the neighborhood is defined, the Palestinian residents in Silwan number 20,000 to 50,000 while there are about 500 Jews to 2,800.〔(Jewish Activists Reclaim Synagogue in Silwan )〕〔(In tense eastern Jerusalem, Arabs and Jews hunker down )〕
==Geography==
Historically, Silwan was located on the eastern slope of the Kidron Valley, above the outlet of the Gihon Spring opposite the City of David. The villagers cultivated the arable land in the Kidron Valley, which in biblical tradition formed the king's gardens during the Davidic dynasty,〔Jer. 39:4;52:7; 2 Kgs.25:4; Neh.3:15. William P. Brown, ''Seeing the Psalms: a theology of metaphor ,''Westminster John Knox Press, 2002, p. 68: attributed to Solomon in Ecclesiastes, 2:4-6, and Josephus. See also Yee-Von Koh, ''Royal autobiography in the book of Qoheleth,'' Walter de Gruyter, 2006 p. 33, pp. 94-96.〕 to grow vegetables for market in Jerusalem.〔''Cyclopaedia of Biblical , Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature'', John McClintock, Harper and Brothers, 1889, p. 745〕 Nineteenth-century travelers describe it as verdant and cultivated,〔''Handbook to the Mediterranean: Its Cities, Coasts and Islands,'' Robert Lambert Playfair, John Murray, Albemarle Street, London, 1892, p. 70.〕〔''Biblical Geography and History,'' Charles Foster Kent , 1911 , p. 219〕 and perched on a steep, slippery scarp cut into hillside.〔''The Holy Land and the Bible: A Book of Scripture Illustrations'', Cunningham Geikie , 1888 , New York, James Pott & Co. Publishers p.558〕〔A photograph of the village taken between 1853 and 1857 by James Graham can be found on page 35 of ''Picturing Jerusalem; James Graham and Mendel Diness, Photographers, Israel Museum, Jerusalem, 2007.〕 It now lies on both sides of the Kidron Valley and runs alongside the eastern slopes of Jabel Mukaber.
