Israel changes Arab names of Palestinian cities

Israel to change road signs to Hebrew:

"An Israeli decision to change Arabic and English names of cities and villages written on road signs into Hebrew sparked anger among the Arab residents. Arabs say the Israeli right wing government seeks to erase the history of Arabs who lived here for centuries."




Israeli decision to label all road signs in Hebrew only labeled as Racist By Arab League:

"Israel's decision to label all it's road signs in Hebrew (as opposed to the current Arabic, English and Hebrew) has been blasted by the Arab League as a racist move. Also Arab's living in the Occupied Territories as well as Israeli Arabs have all said that this is move to further remove their cultural identity and ethnically cleanse all signs of Palestine.
Press TV report broadcast on July 15, 2009 at approximately 2000GMT"
