Where is Israel?

CNN sparked outrage this week after posting a news article on its website in which Israel was literally wiped off the map. 

The article, titled, "Beyond ISIS: 2016's scariest geopolitical hot spots," featured a graphic of the Middle East in which Israel is replaced with a red square marking the country of "Palestina."

According to HonestReporting, the picture, using a Spanish or Portuguese translation of "Palestine," was taken from Getty Images and not created by CNN's graphics team. 

Commenters to the site were quick to lambast CNN, asserting Israel would likely still be in existence next year.

HonestReporting Managing Editor Simon Ploske, meanwhile, slammed the news network's "illustration of the Middle East without Israel" as "completely unacceptable."

The current admin refuses to recognize Jerusalem, so what difference does it make?

Mapmakers did that with Tibet, to appease China.

It’s CNN. America’s second most inferior cable news network (Behind MSNBC).

CNN wiped Israel off the map ages ago, nothing new here.

CNN USED to be a credible news agency but since Arab money bought them out, it’s all biased reporting and Arab propaganda...

This is all absurd. That is not Spanish; it is a Romanized version of the "Palestinian myth" invented in 1964.
Which makes no sense, since the Roman occupation of Judea ended in the 4th Century.
Mohamed the road bandit didn't pop up on the scene until the early part of the 7th century, so his drugged up or epileptic "dream" conjured up a name that hadn't existed for 300 years.

For illiterate primitive killers I suppose it all makes sense.

There sure have been a lot of this kind of BS since Obama got in. But no matter - Israel isn’t going anywhere and will never disappear no matter how many wet dreams Nazis or islamonazis may have about it

“Israel isn’t going anywhere and will never disappear”

Ya’know, that’s a comforting thought to start most any day but especially Thanksgiving Day.
Now off to rattle pots ‘n pans with more purpose.

TRUMP should bring this up at his speeches.

CNN has no problem mentioning 4 times per hour when one of Trump’s cuff links is too far up his sleeve, so how about a few tweets here or in his speeches?

Remind them that it’s a two-way street.

If Israel disappears, the rest of the middle east will have been dead for two weeks already.
