  15. Encounter “Jewish localities were established in place of Arab villages. You don’t even know the names of those Arab villages, and I don’t blame you, because those geography texts no longer exist. Not only the books are gone; the Arab villages are also gone: Nahalal in place of Ma’lul; Kibbutz Gvat in place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in place of Huneifis; Kfar Yehoshua in place of Tal Al-Shuman. Wherever Jews built, they built on land where Arabs once lived.” (Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan, 4.4.1969, from an article in Ha’aretz). AP 1964, צילום: קק"ל Most Israel Jews don’t know the names of the Palestinian villages because they were changed or erased completely when the state was established.
