This process not only strips Palestinians of their <a href="https://beige.party/tags/cultural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cultural</span></a> history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land. <br> <br>Settler-Led Excavations:</p><p>Settler organizations like <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Elad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Elad</span></a> are at the forefront of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/illegal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>illegal</span></a> excavations, particularly in East <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Jerusalem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jerusalem</span></a>.
