José Manuel Barros<p>Israeli Damage to Archives, Libraries, and Museums in Gaza, October 2023–January 2024 (A Preliminary Report from Librarians and Archivists with Palestine).</p><p>"The destruction of cultural heritage in Gaza impoverishes the collective identity of the Palestinian people, irrevocably denies them their history, and violates their sovereignty. In this report, we offer a partial list of archives, libraries, and museums in Gaza that have been destroyed, damaged, or looted by Israeli armed forces<br>since October 7, 2023."</p><p>"We compile and offer this information with the understanding that the erasure<br>of Palestinian culture and history has long been an Israeli tactic of war and occupation, a means to further limit the self-determination of the Palestinian people."</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/War" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>War</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/CulturalHeritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalHeritage</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Librarians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Librarians</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Museum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Museum</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Monument" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Monument</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Archive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Archive</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Library</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Culture</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>academicchatter</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodon</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/culturalheritage" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>culturalheritage</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/archaeodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>archaeodons</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/anthropology" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>anthropology</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://librarianswithpalestine.org/lap-gaza-report-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">librarianswithpalestine.org/la</span><span class="invisible">p-gaza-report-2024/</span></a></p>
