Your map doesn't show the current shape of Israel.

 

[Tumah]

Off-hand, I would say its going towards ensuring that all the other dots on the map don't remove it.

What do you see as the discrepancies?

I don't see Jordan really gunning for Israel, if I'm honest. Egypt maybe. Iraq I could probably give you(though they lack any & all capability), Pakistan is full of ****s so yeah..

Not that many other dots. 3, 4 tops.

That seems to me a pretty good reason for the aide. Of course, we could let the other dots remove Israel and then write books, films, and plays about how sad the holocaust was when that happened. That's the usual way for humans to deal with these sorts of things. But I rather prefer prevention to lamentation.

the map needs a bit more investigation.

the numbers are more complex than presented.

I dont get why you pro-palestinians always have to lie about these maps.

1917: Ottoman Empire, no Palestine
1946: United Kingdom, no Palestine (also Jewish settlement began long before 1946) (also WW2 ended in 1945)
1947: United Kingdom, no Palestine
1948: Neat that there is no mention of the Arab countries starting the war.
2014: So where is the area which Israel holds in the Gaza strip? Just wondering
Future: Oh we have someone who can see the future among us!

What's the deal with this "No Palestine" stuff? You go back far enough in the history of any country on earth and "No country".

Of course. But various people claim that a country called Palestine existed back then. But it didn't. The people didn't even call themselves Palestinians.

And as you can see the map says Palestine when it should say Ottoman Empire, United Kingdom etc.

Its a factual error and when done with the clear intent to spread factual errors its lying.

But the claim in that map is proactively that at a certain point in history, there was a "Palestine". That is misleading at best, and inaccurate regardless.

Ok. I see where you're coming from now.

1947: United Kingdom, no Palestine (and there was NO ISRAEL )
1948: Neat that there is no mention of the Arab countries starting the war. ( because the declaration of Jews to their nation from one side, Jews start kick out Arabs )

I add comment by bold inside your reply

seems you don't understand the map , there was no Israel or Palestine , it's relate the fact of two nations Arabs and Zionists , which label them self (Palestinians and Israelis ) now .

for 2014 for Gaza , you are right , i don't notice that ,but for West Bank that for sure there is settlement .

btw i just copy/paste this image , i did not made it

Quite simply, American hegemony has an obvious interest in the preservation of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

Don't worry, they'll all be losing it soon enough.

Eh. Technically you are right. But if we go by internal divisions, well, the British Mandate of Palestine and all that.

Off topic, I know, but just wanted to say it is good to see you back.

But 75% of all our military aid money? It seems quite excessive.

Netanyahu said a Palestinian asked Hitler to burn the Jews, was there Palestinians ?!
