The New York Times Map of Jerusalem

New York Times ^ | Mar 7, 2008

This map is such an outrage that I'm not sure how to comment. (Israel, at the least, includes all of the orange area and the pink area. The "Wailing Wall" is inside the orange area. No one who goes to the Wall thinks that he/she is in the "West Bank." No one.) Surely there are people that wish that this is how the political map in that area would look, but that's not how it really is. So this leads to the question: What else that is reported as FACT in the New York Times is demonstrably false? How can one separate what is true from what is merely the wish of the editors and publisher? And why would anyone pay for this crap or give it any respect whatsoever?

Surprised the NYT doesn’t refer to Israel as “Palestine.”

That’s why the NYT is slowly going bankrupt. The country has it’s ‘liberal’ moods. We’re in one now. Liberal thought is dillusional. It’s acting out on how ‘life should be’ then what short and long-term reality is. Right now we’re in a ‘liberal’ mood. The strange thing is many of the American Jews in NY would feel this map is just hunky dory. A very strange world we live in.

I wish at times we were as barbaric as these people and go into some mosques with a few M60’s and just mow a bunch of them down in cold blood. Ram some pig fat down some of the survivors mouth and then let a few live to express the horror of it to others. Really, is Israel done with the facade now? Hmmm, doubt it.

The line on the map is the 1948-1967 border between Israel and Jordan. It is historical only should be referred to as such because nobody expects that same border to ever be used again.

Right, it would have been more intellectually honest to label the right side of the map “Jordan”.

I'm not sure this is the best idea. Baruch Goldstein did this and the Arabs have made sure that no one will forget his name. Does anyone know the name of these Yeshiva attackers or any other Arab attackers?

Bombing mosques from the air seems preferable. These would be anonymous military attacks on Islamic military installations. Sometime on Friday would, I think, produce the maximum beneficial effect. Many Islamic Swine would be killed and buildings more important to them than life would be destroyed. But no one here (or in Israel) would dancing in the street.

I believe you’re correct. I would say we mourn the loss of life but endlessly offering negotiations is causing prolonged and unecessary suffering on both sides. The USA & Israel are being enablers by being to considerate. The USA went broke being ‘sensitive’ in Iraq toward Al Sadr and other Iranian puppet murderers. Arabs understand force. It is sad because we are one species with some much to explore together. I know the line of Ishmael has a place at God’s table and His timing on when and how he fixes it in a plan is already laid out for us. But we in the USA and Israel could make such corrections destined to occur much less painful and without fear. It takes courage and an understanding of human nature and why the two peoples will be at odds until Israel finally fights the war of Gog and Magog.

Well, if Israel shows itself willing to negotiate half of Jerusalem away, why should we expect any better from the NY Times?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

So the times is in the tank for the left, communism, and terrorists. No surprise there.

[ml/nj]

The New York Times pretends to be a newspaper. When, and if, Israel gives away part of Jerusalem, then the the Times can revise its maps. Right now Israel has not given up its sovereignty in any part of Jerusalem including the Temple Mount. (The Al Aqsa Mosque can be closed whenever the Israelis choose to do so. IDF personnel decide who can go where up there. The Arabs are there at the pleasure of the Israeli government.)

[forkinsocket]

Agreed that the NY Times is out of line to revise maps to suit their ideology, but my point is that if Israel isn’t sure of itself, how do we expect others to back us?

I am sure they were playing Wagner on CD in the boardroom while they were drawing this map.

[ml/nj]

Gotta tell you, I listen to Wagner sometimes. I like to think about what he would think about his music giving pleasure to a Jew.

Hey, now, watch it there! Just because Herr Schickelgruber liked good music don't mean we gotta soak it with gas and burn it outside an air-raid shelter.

[ml/nj]

Wagner was quite the anti-Semite himself.

Don't everybody know it! He was definitely a piece of work.
