Hundreds of cultural experts urge UNESCO to protect Lebanon's heritage from Israeli raids
Three hundred prominent cultural figures, including archaeologists and artists, called Sunday on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to safeguard Lebanon’s heritage, especially in Baalbek, from the...Middle East Monitor
Israel's assault on #Palestinian #heritage goes beyond fabricated #archaeological narratives—it’s a #systematic effort to erase history and consolidate control. Here are more key aspects of the campaign:
#Looting of #WestBank #Antiquities :
For decades, #Israel has #exploited the occupied territories' rich archaeological sites, #smuggling thousands of #artifacts to build its #colonial narrative. The new bill seeks to #institutionalize this #theft, granting #extremist officials unchecked authority over excavation and #HeritagePreservation in Palestinian areas.
The Role of the Israeli Antiquities Authority:
Under the guise of #AcademicResearch, the #IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority frequently removes artifacts from the West Bank, exhibiting them in Israeli #museums without acknowledging their Palestinian origins. This process not only strips Palestinians of their #cultural history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land.
Settler-Led Excavations:
Settler organizations like #Elad are at the forefront of #illegal excavations, particularly in East #Jerusalem. These digs disrupt Palestinian neighborhoods, displace families, and create #tourist sites glorifying biblical narratives while erasing the #multicultural history of the region.
Linking Settlements to #BiblicalClaims:
Israeli settlement expansion is increasingly tied to archaeological claims. By declaring areas with supposed biblical significance, such as #Hebron or #Shiloh as part of #Jewish heritage, the #llegalOccupation justifies #annexation and denies Palestinians access to their land.
The International Fallout:
Despite warnings from Israeli #archaeologists and global institutions, the government continues its #unilateral moves. If the bill passes, Israel risks severe isolation, as #CulturalTheft violates international conventions, including #UNESCO protection of #CulturalHeritage 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. The stakes go beyond antiquities; they encompass the right of a people to their past, present, and future.

Within the Christchurch Gateway at Canterbury Cathedral, England.
The smaller wooden door to the right is opened at 4:00pm every weekend to allow dog owners to 'chase the bishop'. A tradition beginning in the 16th century in which locals with hounds would pursue members of the clergy round and round the gate entrance.

Heritage Foundation gets protesters at their DC headquarters
On the 9th of November, Project 2025 authors Heritage Foundation got a protest at their headquarters in Washington DC.
This comes a week after one of their Project 2025 thugs got a protest at their home days before the election.
Heritage Foundation board member and Project 2025 coauthor Darryle Owens gets a home demo.
On the 2nd of November, over 30 people with three pitchforks but no torches (due to Charlottesville) showed up at the Minneapolis home of Heritage board member and Project 2025 coauthor Darryle Owens.
Getting doxxed about being one of the Fascists behind Project 2025 isn't something that just happens online anymore. It has real-world "pitchforks and torches" (well hold the torches after Cville...) consequences!
