Since the great revolution that took place in 1936, the Palestinians are still struggling to refute the saying “a land without a people for a people without a land,” which was adopted by early Zionist leaders such as Theodor Herzl in establishing Israel on the land of Palestine based on an alleged history.
Since the Balfour Declaration (1917), through the Nakba of 1948, the Zionist media and those who supported it have continued to dilute the identity of the Palestinians to the point of erasing it completely by describing them as “Arabs,” as if they were passers-by who lost their way to Jerusalem, Ashkelon, and Acre, which historians and archaeologists confirm were Palestinian even before the emergence of Judaism as a religion.
As usual with thieves, the Israelis tried to obscure the features of the occupation’s crime that they committed against an entire people, by replacing the names of Palestinian cities with Hebrew ones that are in line with their historical narratives for which there is no evidence.
From this standpoint, Jerusalem turned into Jerusalem and Ashkelon became Ashkelon, and Acre - which stopped Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799 - became called Akko.
As an extension of this approach, the Western media and social media platforms banned everything that would expose the crimes of the occupation - during the recent aggression on the Gaza Strip - and promoted its lies, but the popular response to this deception was embodied in the form of demonstrations and symbolic blood-drenched hands in the face of those who want to confirm the narrative. Israel, and they continue to repeat it as if it were a text that the whole world must memorize and believe in.
Despite the security suppression of all those who try to defend Palestine in Western countries that adopt the narrative of Israel as a sacred text that cannot be touched, the free peoples of the world did not accept this deliberate falsification, so they began to symbolize Palestine with the keffiyeh, thyme, and the child who was killed in his cradle.
Despite the continuous attempts at erasure for 75 years, Palestine has become a symbol that breathes in the minds of the free people of the world and in the streets of countries that are trying to establish Israel, which has no roots in this land, until the silence of the owners of the land who are trying to silence them has become louder than all the trumpets of falsehood that have filled the world with noise.
