It's not an issue I was consciously exploring of when I was last in Israel or Palestine many decades ago, but in hindsight it rings bells. I'd certainly be looking out for it if I returned, but that return is not going to happen. But erasure tends to follow patterns, and it'd be fascinating to explore.

@2legged A split-screen image displays two portraits side-by-side against a black background. On the left, a person with gray hair and a pearl necklace is shown above the quote, "We arrived in a barren, empty land and made the desert bloom through sheer pioneer spirit, creating a thriving democratic sanctuary for our exiled people," with the name "GOLDA MEIR" below. On the right, a person with dark hair wearing a collared shirt is shown above the quote, "There was no empty desert. You systematically bulldozed over five hundred thriving indigenous villages, wiped their Arabic names off the map, map, and buried their history under your newly planted pine trees," with the name "EDWARD SAID" below.
