Who are the Israelis? Mostly squatters on other people's land.

Israel’s Largest Surface Cultural Heist: Palestinian Cuisine​

The Zionist movement envisioned Israel’s survival as being predicated on erasing the history of the rich heritage of Palestine’s culture and its people.​

In continuation of my previous article exploring the Israeli invention of national symbols and landmarks, this piece delves further into the appropriation of Palestinian surface culture by Israel.

Surface culture encompasses tangible and observable elements that contribute to the distinctive identity of a cultural group or region. Music, food, dress, and other aspects often define a nation’s surface culture. For instance, Scotland is recognized by men’s kilts, Salsa music represents Latin American culture, and Japan is known for its Sushi cuisine.

Authentic culture evolves organically over generations. However, Israel’s top-down approach to culture lacks genuine identifying characteristics. Throughout its history, Israel has either fabricated, annexed, or reconstructed both surface and deep cultural elements through falsehoods, myths, and fables. Unlike the conventional development of cultures, Israeli surface culture came prepackaged—American fast-food style—by appropriating those very elements from the age-old traditional Palestinian culture.

This is about Israeli Foreign Policy and your terrorist government. This has absolutely nothing to do with religion!

It's like you cannot decide why you hate Israel.
This is more about lack of intelligent argument
to defend your irrational position.

Why deny such a significant aspect
of every conflict in the region?
