Not all Palestinians can be forgotten

An interesting article in the San Francisco Chronicle about Israel’s never-ending campaign to remove Palestinian identity:

Peace will remain elusive so long as Israel’s approach to Palestinian refugees is to erase them from history; when Palestinian property in the West Bank continues to be expropriated and developed for Israel; or when Palestinian families must be uprooted and their homes demolished because they are not Jews. The pressure of the Obama administration on the Israeli government must not wane. Beyond the call to freeze all settlement activity, President Obama should insist on equal rights for Palestinians, and oppose discriminatory Israeli policies that only prolong the Nakba.

This is getting more traction in the US media. At least one hopeful sign.
