Israel's assault on <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Palestinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Palestinian</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/heritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#heritage</a> goes beyond fabricated <a href="https://beige.party/tags/archaeological" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archaeological</a> narratives—it’s a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/systematic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#systematic</a> effort to erase history and consolidate control. Here are more key aspects of the campaign: <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Looting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Looting</a> of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WestBank</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Antiquities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Antiquities</a> :For decades, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Israel</a> has <a href="https://beige.party/tags/exploited" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#exploited</a> the occupied territories' rich archaeological sites, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/smuggling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#smuggling</a> thousands of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/artifacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artifacts</a> to build its <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#colonial</a> narrative. The new bill seeks to <a href="https://beige.party/tags/institutionalize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#institutionalize</a> this <a href="https://beige.party/tags/theft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theft</a>, granting <a href="https://beige.party/tags/extremist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#extremist</a> officials unchecked authority over excavation and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HeritagePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HeritagePreservation</a> in Palestinian areas. The Role of the Israeli Antiquities Authority:Under the guise of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AcademicResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AcademicResearch</a>, the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority</a> frequently removes artifacts from the West Bank, exhibiting them in Israeli <a href="https://beige.party/tags/museums" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#museums</a> without acknowledging their Palestinian origins. This process not only strips Palestinians of their <a href="https://beige.party/tags/cultural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cultural</a> history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land. Settler-Led Excavations:Settler organizations like <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Elad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Elad</a> are at the forefront of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/illegal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illegal</a> excavations, particularly in East <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Jerusalem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jerusalem</a>. These digs disrupt Palestinian neighborhoods, displace families, and create <a href="https://beige.party/tags/tourist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tourist</a> sites glorifying biblical narratives while erasing the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/multicultural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#multicultural</a> history of the region. Linking Settlements to <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BiblicalClaims" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BiblicalClaims</a>:Israeli settlement expansion is increasingly tied to archaeological claims. By declaring areas with supposed biblical significance, such as <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Hebron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hebron</a> or <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Shiloh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Shiloh</a> as part of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jewish</a> heritage, the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/llegalOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#llegalOccupation</a> justifies <a href="https://beige.party/tags/annexation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#annexation</a> and denies Palestinians access to their land. The International Fallout:Despite warnings from Israeli <a href="https://beige.party/tags/archaeologists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archaeologists</a> and global institutions, the government continues its <a href="https://beige.party/tags/unilateral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unilateral</a> moves. If the bill passes, Israel risks severe isolation, as <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CulturalTheft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CulturalTheft</a> violates international conventions, including <a href="https://beige.party/tags/UNESCO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UNESCO</a> protection of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CulturalHeritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CulturalHeritage</a> during conflicts.These moves are not just an assault on history—they are an extension of the colonial project, reshaping the narrative to legitimize an occupation that erases Palestinian identity.
