MAPS OF PALESTINE BEFORE THE NAKBA

According to Israel, Palestine was a land without people for a people without a land, i.e. nobody lived there so it was OK for Israelis to just live wherever they wanted.

But unfortunately for Israel it looks like the British drew accurate maps of Palestine just before the Israelis drove/terrorised/murdered 800,000 Palestinians off the lands and out of their houses into the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

"A new open-source mapping project, Palestine Open Maps, allows users to see the Palestinian landscape as it looked before 1948—& to search for villages & towns from that era to find out whether they remain, were depopulated, or were built over." https://t.co/diHo9GU1FQ #Nakba70
