golemia, it's a trick map. The periods are carefully chosen to skewer what happened.
In 1948/49, the new nation of Israel was attacked by Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Transjordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
They lost a bit of territory, AND a lot of "Palestinians" left! Those that left were unable to return.
In 1956, there was another little scrap. Egypt blocked all Israeli shipping through the Suez, and blockaded the Straits of Tiran. By the way, this
was the first time the Israelis took over Gaza.
Again, on June 4, of 1967 (note the dating on the map) Israel was looking at huge forces mobilizing on three fronts, and decided rather than take the
first punch, they nailed the Egyptian, Jordanian, and Syrian air forces right between the eyes.
On June 11, Israel had whipped Syria, Jordan, and Egypt, they had won a ton of land, including taking Gaza for the second time.
In 1973, Israel was attacked again, and maintained their lands.
So you'll note that the maps would indicate a steady erosion of "Palestinian" land, whereas, if you look at all the pre-war and then post-war maps,
you'll see how this increase in territory actually happened.
I guarantee you, some wiseass Palestinian drew up this map and skewered the maps dates to make Israel look bad.
Hell, they've turned Gaza loose twice. And in 1967, it only contained 300,000 "Palestinians." Now there's 1.5 million?
These retards need birth control.
And more honest maps.
