Important map to keep in mind as the Gaza attack continues:

The Map: A Palestinian Nation Thwarted and Speaking Truth to Power

As part of my original posting,
I mirrored a map of modern Palestinian history that has the virtue of
showing graphically what has happened to the Palestinians politically
and territorially in the past century. 

Andrew Sullivan then mirrored the map from my site,
which set off a lot of thunder and noise among anti-Palestinian writers
like Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, but shed very little light. 
(PS, the map as a hard copy mapcard is available from Sabeel.)

The map is useful and accurate.  It begins by showing the British
Mandate of Palestine as of the mid-1920s.  The British conquered the
Ottoman districts that came to be the Mandate during World War I (the
Ottoman sultan threw in with Austria and Germany against Britain, France
and Russia, mainly out of fear of Russia).
