one of the most sure signs of colonialism is when you change the name of items on the map, like cities.

one example is when the french colonists built cities like montreal and st. louis on top of existing native settlements. another is when the arab colonists changed the name of jerusalem to al-quds.

justice requires some honesty. we can acknowledge the history of the region without deducing that palestinians shouldn't have rights. and, perhaps doing so might even help them get some.
