What happens when one Semitic people erases another from memory, map, and meaning? Semitic Paradox: Palestine, Erasure, and Resistance is not a quiet history - it is a rupture. From Roman renaming to modern genocide, this book exposes how Palestine has been colonized, renamed, silenced, and distorted by empires, occupiers, and global complicity. With sharp scholarship and emotional clarity, Mayar traces an unbroken lineage of indigenous presence - Canaanite, Philistine, Hebrew, Christian, Muslim - and dismantles the myths that have buried it. This is not neutrality. This is truth-telling. This is not diplomacy. This is defiance. This is not just a book. It is a weapon of memory. Perfect for classrooms, encampments, and hearts that refuse to be numb, Semitic Paradox is a call to conscience and a beacon of resistance.
