Is The War Over?

Instantman points to this WaPo article that has an interesting image in it. It's a map of Israel that he says makes no distinction between Israel proper and the occupied territories.

He overstates it a bit. There is a thin black line separating the West Bank and Gaza from the rest, and they are separately labeled, but he's right in the sense that they're not cross hatched or differently colored--presbyopics have to put on their glasses to see the difference.

I'm figuring that they just got it from a Palestinian text book, and changed the name of the map from "Palestine" to "Israel" for domestic consumption. Those lazy WaPo reporters...

Whoops, somebody at the Post must read weblogs. They've taken it down.

Go to the Palestinian Autority web site, and ALL of Isreal is labeled Palestine. When you zoom in on any other page, the West Bank and Gaza are "hashmarked"

Yep, it was down about five minutes after InstantMan posted that item.
