Abstract
- The author criticizes the legislative bill introduced in the Knesset of Israel that would make Hebrew Israel's sole official language. The author argues that Israel, the occupier of Palestine, wants to eliminate the Arabic language in order to erase Palestinian memories, culture and history. The author relates how Israel is taking possession of the existing culture of Palestine such as de- or renaming events and territories. The author criticizes a vocabulary that serves to perpetuate the injustices in line with Israel's occupation of Palestine.
