Contra a limpeza étnica do povo palestino, memória e história

Abstract

This article aims to discourse about the Palestine’s history as a contemporary example of ideological construction which aimed to promote the memoricide to purposes of colonization and land occupation. Authors demonstrate that there was a deliberated scheme of ethnic cleansing of the native Arabian habitants since 1947 to the establishment of an exclusively Jewish State. The Palestinians’ memory’s death is in the basis of the Zionist thought, so that will give origin to myths, as “a land without a people for a people without land” and as that the immigrants would make an orchard from the desert. Leaderships of these movements openly declared that their expectations were the forgetfulness. There was consolidated the memoricide. However, the Palestinians refuse themselves to be erased from the map and continue to resist, as seen in recent attacks on Gaza, Occupied Palestine. One of the ways has been to tell their tragedy. The memory has been being an important element to the historical construction, fundamental to the repair of the injustice and sedimentation of a way free from oppression, land occupation, expulsion and humiliation.
