Jerusalem Names and Memory Under Attack
The article reveals an attempt by the Israeli occupation authorities to erase the Arab and Islamic identity of the city of Jerusalem by removing a sign bearing the name "Bab Al-Amoud" and replacing it with "The Old Gate." This step is part of an ongoing campaign of Judaization that includes renaming landmarks and historical sites, aiming to impose a narrative and enforce the occupying authority's sovereignty over the city. Researchers emphasize that the continued presence of the name "Bab Al-Amoud" in the Palestinian consciousness reflects daily resistance to the Judaization project, as the gate is a main entrance to neighborhoods and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Changing its name seeks to strip the city of its historical character and cultural identity.
