Israeli Tourism Adverts Wipe Palestine From the Map »
Posted By dissent 6 months, 2 weeks ago in NewsPosters have recently appeared in London Underground tube stations advertising Israel as a tourist destination. The map on the advert depicts Israel as incorporating the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights.
Please write to London Underground, the Advertising Standards Agency and CBS Outdoors – the company which manages the poster sites – asking for the removal of these posters, which deliberately deny the existence of Palestine.

Actually if they want to make one state and call it Israel, Palestine or even Disneyland that is fine but make all the Palestinians citizens of that state and this conflict would be over in one election.

But i don't think that is what the advertisers had in mind. They are just dirty bastards who would sell their own mother for money. Nothing deeper than that ,-

Palestine has absolutely nothing to do with the Middle East problem. Before 1967, when Jordan and Egypt had the West Bank and Gaza, there was never a Palestinian or a Palestine. Then it was Egypt, Syria, Iraq and the rest of the Arab countries who wanted to wipe Israel off of the map. Not a single Arab country cared about the Palestinians or the refugees. The Palestinian refugees were the only group between 1945 and 1950 to not be absorbed by their own peoples. In Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, etc. it is illegal for a Palestinian to hold citizenship. Before the Jews immigrated to what is today Israel, Palestine was a malarial infested swampland which had been deforested. The population was less than half a million total. Read Mark Twain's account of Palestine during his visit in 1869. No one ever really cared about the Palestinians except for political purposes. If Israel disappeared tomorrow, the Arabs of the Middle East would still hate each other. There wouldn't be an end to any conflict, except the vacuum that would be created would be far bloodier and it would be another Somolia, without a government. Ur-land, you live under a rock and you refuse to see the problem for what it really is- The Arabs can't get along. Lebanon used to be the Monte Carlo of the Middle East. It is a wasteland after 20 years of civil war and still doesn't have a stable government. Open your eyes, only fools keep them shut.

Regarding just how much impact any protests might have,

Israel was willing to take the Partition as the UN set it up. It was the Arabs who rejected it. Israel offered to give Arafat 98% of what he wanted. He refused. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. It got rockets instead of peace. The facts don't support your statement of "With Israel mine is mine and yours is mine". If the Palestinians and Hamas asked for peace tomorrow and genuinely meant it, there would be a second Palestinian state within a year.
