It has encouraged a focus on words over substance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eErasing Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of how this has happened, with a focus on internal politics within Britain over the course of the past several years. In order to do so, it tells a much longer story, about the history of antisemitism since the beginning of the twentieth century. This is also a story about Palestine, a chronicle of the erasure of the violence against the Palestinian people, and a story about free speech, and why it matters to Palestinian freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRebecca Ruth Gould\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of numerous works at the intersection of aesthetics and politics, including \u003ci\u003eWriters and Rebels\u003c\/i\u003e (2016) and \u003ci\u003eThe Persian Prison Poem\u003c\/i\u003e (2021).
