WHEN asked why his latest map has erased the whole of the West Bank, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu retorted with the most detestable answer.
“I didn’t include the Dead Sea. It’s not shown on the map. I didn’t show the Jordan River. It’s not on this map. I didn’t show the Sea of Galilee,” was Netanyahu’s response.
The Israeli leader must have known that neither the indigenous population of Palestine nor the occupied territories of West Bank and East Jerusalem — which are recognised as such under international law — are topographical or geographical phenomena.
