israel

The "history" of israel can be shown thru maps, and associated written material. The two comments linked below are:

1. History of Israel and Palestine in VERY Easy To Understand Maps: "There has never been a civilization or a nation referred to as "Palestine" and the very notion of a "Palestinian Arab nation" having ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world!"
   
   
2. Lessons From the Swiss Cheese Map: "Why have Israeli-Palestinian peace talks ignored the importance of good mapmaking?"
   

The first suggests that Greater Israel is a natural area for the Jewish nation and the second suggests that the breakup of the Oslo II peace talks may have been paritally caused by bad graphics that showed that Palestine area as "cantons" and thus unacceptable.
