DESCRIPTION:Since its founding in 1948, Israel has engaged in a long-term erasure of 
 the indigenous Palestinian presence: from home demolitions to attacking 
 centuries’ old olive groves, destroying antiquities, and reframing 
 archaeological evidence. Israel has redrawn regional maps to exclude 
 Palestinian names and landmarks, renamed streets, and outlawed the 
 Palestinian flag to deny the very existence of Palestine through physical, 
 spatial, and linguistic erasure. Alongside erasure is cultural 
 appropriation of Palestinian regional cuisine, music, and dance. We can 
 stem this process by celebrating this ethnically unique culture, from dabke 
 to tatreez, from music, to libraries to poems and images. These are 
 carriers of a resilient cultural identity that refuses erasure. What can 
 you do to resist and celebrate?\n\nWatch the curated videos included in the
