MAP


This map is widely circulated among supporters of the Palestinian cause. The map in 1946 is interesting- At that point Palestine was controlled by the British in combination with what is now Jordan...And I'd argue there was more of a coexistence situation going on between Jews and Palestinians, at least prior to 1936 when the Arab revolt began against British rule and mass Jewish immigration. And I guess strong supporters of Israel would add a map to the beginning from Biblical times that shows all of it as Jewish land. Either way, there is a lot of reality in this map about what is in the map, especially what's happened from 1948 to 2000.
