In ninth grade, my class went to Greece. At the base of the Acropolis is the Athens Agora. I remember a bunch of flags and our teacher pointing one out that was white with blue stripes and a blue star. None of knew it was the Israeli flag. 2/?
@HashtagGriswold@EWErickson That flag had either been cut out or redacted from our textbooks. The World Book Encyclopedia and Encyclopedia Brittanica had pages misses and redacted in the library. Phone calls could not connect from Israel to the UAE. It was as if they were no phone lines between the two. 3/4
@HashtagGriswold@EWErickson We could not travel to Israel and I have still never been to Israel. Going to Israel would have meant we could not enter the UAE with an Israeli passport stamp in our passports.” 4/4
