Since
the beginning of Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip, innumerable treasures
of Palestine’s cultural heritage have been damaged or destroyed. Like so much
of the rest of the besieged enclave, these priceless and beloved landmarks of
our people’s history — archaeological sites, millennia-old religious
structures, and museums with ancient collections — now lie in ruin.
