      Israel is easily recognizable, just search under any of the following: Apartheid State, Disposessor of people’s property, Promoter of Illegal settlements, Oppressor of Palestinians, Genocide in Palestine.

    2. This is a good comment section to look at whenever I forget that reddit is full of morons.

      Me running away from this post after seeing the comments.

    4. I lived in the Middle East for a long time and never once saw a physical map with Israel on it.

      EDIT: Although I’m sure Israel is marked on maps in Israel, I didn’t check.

      We all have preferences on which countries we recognize and don’t. Personally I don’t recognize Australia because we all know it’s just big New Zealand.

    6. Same observation during my flight – theyre only showing Gaza city, regardless of the zoom

    7. The dark curse of Yahweh/El is too strong in the area, it’ll never be peaceful.

    8. I am faulty sure Qatar just uses Thales/Geofusion for these in flight maps. And there has been complaints regarding other airlines, like Jet Blue who don’t even fly there, about this mapping too.

      The simple answer is… these maps are just a bit shit.

      Seriously, has no-one ever flown before and noticed that the weirdest fucking places get a label but major cities don’t. 

      It’s not a grand conspiracy, the maps have Palestinian Territories for the West Bank and I’m fairly sure the label for “Israel” is usually there when looking top-down.

      It doesn’t show (list) Egypt (South Sinai Governate) neither, which is all that land to the left. This map is from the point of view of the north Red Sea, looking North with Jordan to the East and Egypt to the West.

      On another note, Qatari banks are where all your donations (and the world’s billions) for Palestine land. They are now prosperous and have built their own country while keeping the fire with idiotic endeavours like this one. And when the money tap eventually stops running, you can stay assured that they will never give a single penny back. Good grief.
