Default Syria erases Israel



Quote:
The Syrian Parliament launched a new website on December 16, 2004, which included a map of the Middle East that labeled the area within the Green Line as “Israel,�? the area of the West Bank was labeled “Palestine,�? and the area to the east of the Jordan River was labeled “Jordan.�? As of December 28, 2004, the map has been changed with the Green Line deleted. In the revised map the entire area that was previously labeled “Israel,�? “Palestine,�? and “Jordan�? (a nation with diplomatic relations with Syria) is labeled “Palestine.�?
Looks like the original Palestinian National Charter which provides for the destruction of the state of Israel is finally manifesting itself.

Maps that show "Palestine" instead of "Israel" are quite common, especially in the middle east. This isn't anything new, other than the fact that it apparently replaced a previous map on the website.

On a separate note, I can see this thread spiralling out of control fast. Let's keep that from happening please.

It's just more evidence of their unwillingness to make peace. Is eternal war what you want?

loren, you are such a hypocrate.

constantly in every thread you are the one that says that a two-state or one-state solution will not work. in every thread you deny the things that have a chance of bringing about peace.

as far as what i want goes, here is a list, and if i cant have the first one, then i will take the next, and so on:

1) one state solution, where everyone has equal protection under the law and recieves one vote.

2) all the jews decide to go home (europe, africa, north america, where-ever the hell they came from) and leave the land to the rightfull owners (the palestinians for those who cannot figure it out)

3) two state solution, where israel compensatese the seven million palestinian refugees who make up the diaspora.

anything less is just fucked up.
