An Israel street sign in Hebrew, Arabic, and English on a main street in today’s Jewish West Jerusalem neighborhood of Qatamon, formerly a Palestinian neighborhood before 1948, glorifies the conquest (and ergo the emptying) of the neighborhood at that time. It reads: “Conquerors of Qatamon.” The past remains alive in the present.
