The Truth About

'Disappearing Palestine'
Tuesday, October 20, 2015 | Tsvi Sadan

The "Palestine" maps

shown in the newsroom of
MSNBC on October 17
represented what the
pro-Palestine crowd
believes to be the
"disappearing
Palestine." These maps,
often seen at "free Gaza"
demonstrations, are a gutter tactic aimed at manipulating the
masses by fictitious visual aids.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Following protests, MSNBC reluctantly apologized by saying that

"in an attempt to shed light on the geographic context of the
Israeli-Palestinian issue, we aired a map that was factually
wrong." Even if sincere, this apology can't undo the impression
these maps left on millions of viewers that pay little attention to the
well-documented anti-Israel bias exercised by MSNBC.
The "disappearing Palestine" maps shrewdly misrepresent the word
"Palestine," which until 1948 was a territory ruled by Great Britain.
This is why from 1917-1948, people dwelling in Palestine both
Jews and Arabs were given certificates identifying them as
Palestinians. This is why Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir could say
that "we [Jews] are all Palestinians. Want proof? I still have my old
[Palestine] passport."
This is why "disappearing Palestine" actually represents the gradual

The map above shows how the British envisioned the borders of
the future Jewish state in 1920. In an attempt to pacify its Arab
allies, however, just two years later these borders were dramatically
changed to what actually represents present-day Israel. The map
below shows the new 1922 British borders designated for the
Jewish state.

Dramatic as this change was, "Jewish Palestine" was reduced even

further by the "partition plan" to roughly half the size of the 1922
borders. The map below shows the 1947 UN Partition Plan, where
the white areas represent Jewish territory.

The Arab rejection of the Partition Plan sparked the 1948 War of
Independence, which left the West Bank in Jordanian hands. The
map below shows that the borders of Israel from 1948-1967 were
slightly larger than those of the Partition Plan.

Following the Six Day War in 1967, the Jordanian West Bank,
Egyptian Gaza and Syrian Golan Height were conquered by Israel.
Following the 1993 Oslo Accord, Israel agreed in principal to shrink
its borders once again back to those that existed until 1967, but
instead of returning the West Bank and Gaza to Jordan and Egypt,
respectively, a brand new Arab state would receive the land. The
map below shows Israel's future borders in light green.

Palestinian/MSNBC propaganda says the exact opposite simply by

misrepresenting Mandate Palestine as a Palestinian state that
supposedly pre-existed Israel. If anything, therefore, "disappearing
Palestine" represents nothing less than the disappearance of Israel.
Since Arabic is written from right to left, the proper meaning of
these maps becomes obvious. The yellow areas in the MSNBC
map represent the envisioned gradual disappearance of Israel.

If I believed the MSM about Israel. I wouldn't come here to

see what is going on. Everyone knows that where Israel is
concerned, (and other things) the Main Stream Media is
totally biased.

The land of Canaan was given to the 12 tribes of Israel in the

Torah. No discussion needed. End of story.

"to think like other humans"?

Much better to learn to think like God because
He knows what He is doing, humans don't.
