Topic

Name

Israel's actions contribute to diminishing recognition of Palestinian historical narratives, affecting the legitimacy of Palestinian territorial claims

Types

Opposing arguments

Israel has a number of initiatives preserving various historical sites, including the ones important to Palestinian history

It is only natural for Israel to promote Hebrew and strengthen their identity, and it is not directly targetting the Palestinian identity

Subclaims

Israel's media often conflates Palestinians and various terrorist groups which encourages negative view of all Palestinians

Israel is encouraging policies that limit the use of the Arabic language and prevent Palestinian natives from getting well educated

Israel is destroying and repurposing a number of Palestinian cultural and historical sites

Supporting arguments

Israel Hebraized about 2,780 locations, including villages, towns, ruins, wadis, rivers, springs, mountains, hills, caves, castles, palaces, pools and lakes

Cultural appropriation of traditional Palestinian attires (being worn by El-Al airline hostesses), dances (Dabkeh, has no meaning in Hebrew) and food dishes like Hummus and Falafel.

Early Zionist leaders described Palestine as "A land without a people for a people without a land". But when Jews arrived in Palestine, they found not a vacant land but a land inhabited by Palestinian Arabs since centuries before. The consequent establishment of Israel resulted in a Palestinian diaspora
