Having read through the contributions to this thread looking at references both veiled, oblique and direct to WW1 there appeared to be a great deal of wittering on about "land theft" by Jom the infallible and in support of this Jom was awfully keen on people looking at maps. Now Jom wasn't all that keen on maps in the past especially when asked to produce maps from either the Palestine Authority/Hamas/Fatah/Islamic Jihad/The Muslim Brotherhood/Hezbollah showing the boundaries and borders of this "Two State" solution they say that they are fighting for. Jom has a bit of trouble producing such a map you see as no such map exists, as NONE of those "organisations" have any desire at all to embrace even the remotest possibility of a "Two State" solution, they didn't in 1937, they didn't in 1947 - no doubt Jom can come out with some highly implausible reason for that that has nothing to do with statements about "driving the Jews into the sea" and "wiping Israel off the map".
