    Wrap everything up? This is a forever war until there’s a 2 state solution

          The bottom one is even worse in many ways.

          The fact that it had previously had the tendrils of the British Empire in it, doesn’t mean they ever “owned” them. That’s Palestine in the first map, whether Britain agreed at the time or not. It’s their land.

          No shit that plan was rejected, it gave up a ton of land, including most of the coast. Why would anyone agree to that.

          Next pic, you decide it doesn’t exist at all. Cool.

          Then Israel conquers the area of Jordan that was previously part of Palestine. Land that was never theirs, even by your own maps.

          Then, in the final pic, Israel, out of the kindness of their heart, gives a tiny amount of (continuously shrinking) land and apartheid rule.

          Like, give me a break. That’s supposed to be better?

          Strange that two nearly identical maps are so diametrically labeled, but that’s the Internet, huh?

          Aside from the nominal, both are accurate representations of steadily decreasing Palestinian territory.

          Are you making a different point or is this intended as supplemental material?

            Strange, that you cannot interpret a difference between your own fictional construct, and a timeline of reality.

              Iit is not strange to point out the identical territories in a silly image pretending nearly identical pictures saying the same thing are opposites.
