Map of Israel that Could Get World Attention

The five shekel coffee shop Cofizz should be thanked for bringing down the price of coffee in Jerusalem, Israel.  However, Cofizz used a pre-1967 map of Israel in an advertising campaign and there was buzz for the bizz, but certainly not kind they wanted.

I mean really putting Tel Aviv near the Gaza Strip, who got paid to do that?

There was no line at Cofizz on Ben Yehudah this week even before some called for a boycott. But as long as we are pulling up old maps to use, how about the map of Land of Israel under British Mandate?

Go back to before 1922, that map could arouse world media to roar in protest. Jordan would not be happy, but Cofizz would be in world headlines.

    I don’t know how a historical fact should cause an uproar, especially since Israel is making no territorial claims on Jordan.

      Norman, chabibi,

      If you don’t know how a historical fact should cause an uproar, you have not been paying attention.

      1. The ignorance of history and acceptance of narrative is norm today Norm. Just wanted to post this map as a reminder of what was.

  2. not exactly new 🙂 still makes me wonder, if the british are doomed to islamization today, because they gave away the land back then, sort of divine judgement

  3. I think the text on the map is an invitation to getting bashed,

    The League of Nations’ Mandate for Palestine from 1922 included what Caroline Glick calls a single “exit clause” from the overall brief of facilitating Jewish immigration and encouraging close settlements by Jews – in recognition of the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine ….

    That exit clause is article 25 which permitted the UK to separate “the territories lying between the Jordan and the eastern boundary of Palestine” where it would be permitted to “postpone or withhold” application of the general provisions. And as we all know, Britain lost no time in giving Transjordan to the Hashemites.

    So – is there any way to say the following more succinctly?
    The “British Mandate for Palestine”
    Three-quarters of the land that the League of Nations mandated in 1922 for reconstituting the Jewish national home of Israel was given to Arabs.
