Memoricide: Zionism’s Deletion of Palestinian Memory
In its pursuit of rewriting history and justifying its occupation of Palestinian land, Zionist Israel has actively erased the memory of Palestinians. Nothing illustrates this better than the term “memoricide,” first coined in 1991. To push the narrative of a purely Jewish nation inexorably linked to God, Israel has employed tactics ranging from massacres, depopulation, and destruction to toponymic changes. The memoricide that began before 1948 continues to this day, effectively erasing the presence and history of Palestinians in their own land.

Palestine and the System that Controls the World
Palestine has been pleading for help since time immemorial, but its plight remains perpetually disregarded. Why is it so?
It is easy to overlook the rising Palestinian body count because we have become used to the massacre. The global media – directed by Western powers and the Israeli government in particular, plays a major role in this desensitization.
