Well, how about this map? Do you not believe this one either?


How can a country be formed peppered with little Fort Apaches like cancer? And Israel has to keep roads to all those settlements. How can that be right or fair?

Every one of those settlements is illegal under international law. It shames me that my country supports that crime.

80% of Palestine has been government owned since Ottoman times. That always skews the maps, esp. when they imply that everything not owned by one side was owned by the other. It wasn't.
