Dehumanization of Palestinians:
The systematic erasure of Palestinian history and culture is a well-documented effort that has been ongoing since the early 1900s. This erasure has taken many forms, including the destruction of physical records and infrastructure, the suppression of Palestinian voices and narratives, the appropriation of Palestinian cultural heritage and most visibly, the dehumanization of the Palestinian populace.
From the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, Palestinian records, literature, and cultural heritage faced deliberate and concerted efforts to obliterate their existence and narrative. This deliberate "archival silencing" has made reconstructing this period in Palestinian history incredibly challenging, yet the truths that remain paint a horrifying picture of the deliberate erasure and destruction of an entire population and its culture.
The dehumanization of Palestinians has been a deliberate policy, perpetuated through military operations, discriminatory laws, Israeli education and a pervasive culture that fosters prejudice. Dehumanising rhetoric, portraying Palestinians as "roaches" and "rats," lays the foundation for atrocities by stripping away their humanity in the eyes of the oppressor.
Widespread media narratives also project institutional biases ranging from depicting Palestinians solely as militants or desperate victims and erasing their normal daily life to embedding language biases around land, protests and resistance tactics. These patterns collectively indicate how public discourse within segments of Israeli society systematically dehumanize Palestinians while entrenching prejudices against them.
Amplified Zionist Lies:
This individual has used their voice and platform to echo and amplify egregious Zionist lies but also perpetuate the subjugation, torture, brutalisation and murder inflicted by the Israeli-occupation of Palestinian and its attempts to erase Palestinian identity, culture, heritage and statehood. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These egregious and dangerous lies MAY include but are not limited to: [5]
Spreading misinformation and hateful propaganda against Palestinians is a deplorable act of dehumanization that directly enables human rights abuses, ethnic cleansing and violence against the Palestinian people. [35] [36] [37] [38]
By employing such malicious tactics to deny Palestinian realities and whitewash war crimes, home demolitions and the systematic deprivation of human rights under military occupation, this individual has provided racist cover for 75+ years of subjugation. [39] [[40]] (https://www.un.org/unispal/document/human-rights-situation-in-opt-unohchr-23feb-2024/)
This misinformation doesn't just distort the truth, it actively endangers Palestinian lives and inflames hatred, justifies atrocities like the active genocide and obstructs any path to justice through the wilful erasure of the Palestinian lived experience. [41] [42] [43]

Creative Community for Peace Letter:
A staunchly pro-Zionist organisation, the Creative Community for Peace is on a mission to “galvanize support against the cultural boycott of Israel" and therefore working against anti-genocide and anti-apartheid protestors who want a free, liberated Palestine and the end of the 75+ year Israeli-occupation of Palestinian lands.
The Creative Community for Peace supports Israel by promoting dangerous Zionist propaganda that seeks to demonise Palestinians and those advocating for their liberation, defaming and smearing them as "calling for the murder of Jews everywhere” — both across its website and its social medias.
It also claims that Israel should and would take "the necessary steps to defend itself,” asserts Israel’s right to exist and declares the very crucial, compassion-driven anti-Zionist campaign as a “misinformation campaign spearheaded by Iran” — despite the very real, very well-documented genocide that has claimed the lives of over 35,000 RECORDED Palestinian deaths, without accounting for the ones that Israel has made a disconcerted effort to conceal.
These are crude attempts at white-washing and sanitising both history and the present through a revisionist Zionist lens that erases the 75+ years of subjugation, torture, assault, murder, ethnic cleansing and systematic erasure of Palestinians by Zionist machinations, Israel and even Israelis themselves.
By participating in such revisionist history —and signing their letter — this individual is actively perpetuating the oppression and marginalisation of Palestinians and are therefore complicit in the promotion of the Zionist agenda seeking to whitewash the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people while also vilifying those who advocate for their rights and liberation.
