Map of Israel and Palestine over the last few decades...

cant enlarge - your point?

and you should post a map of the entire region to give an accurate representation of proportionality.

 

Funny how Sinai has been omitted. These lands were NOT taken from Palestinians; they are annexed lands gained from wars started each time by neighboring arab countries. The Gaza area was part of Egypt, the West Bank area part of Jordan. The northern region looks like an error, but the map is too small to be sure.

The average width of Israel is about 60 miles. Tel Aviv to the West Bank is 20 - 30 miles. Tel Aviv to Gaza, around 50 miles.

These numbers are my guesstimates, but I doubt I am off by much.

He tends to be anti-Israel and anti-America to say the least, least I start a firestorm by saying he might have underlying hates related to being anti-Israel.

He should post a map of Europe over the past 2,000 years and a map of North America for the past 500 years and maybe he should post a map of the ...

Middle East that starts about 1,000 years before Christ was born and 2,000 years before Islam was created - that is if wanted to be fair and balanced - but that would be providing evidence arguing against his bias.

Funny how he posts this map - a biased map - now when Israel is fighting for its survival after giving back land for guarantees of peace - you are right - no Sinai so we can not see the Gaza which we returned for free -

you have to know from where it comes, and this post comes from hate and ill-wishes.

 

I have that anti-semetic troll on ignore, but occasionaly misinformation and propaganda have to be corrected.

The first map is an interesting bit of BS spin. It can either represent part of the Ottoman empire, or the British Empire, but nothing else.

 

Is that a map of California with with being hispanics?

He has a chance to step up and join his buddies if he has the chutzpah.

Ok Albert, explain each map and its relevance from your perspective...

And the truth does hurt - try disproving that the Jewish people settled Israel before all others still around today - Make it easier - prove the Palestinians occupied that area before the Jewish people.

Thanks... good luck

Not that i fear you, for I do not, but I believe making threats and statements regarding adjudicating physical harm to another is a violation of this BB guidelines. We shall find out.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hate always is self-destructive, ain't it?

Tel Aviv is only 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the green line (the 1948 cease fire demarcation). At the narrowest point, near Netanya, it is less than 10 km from the sea to the green line.

First map, from the left is of Mandatory British Palestine. The second shows of the UN partition plan, from November 1947. Third map shows the 1948 cease fire lines. The last map shows the areas currently ruled by the Palestinian Authority.
