[Map 1] In 1947, the UN proposed partitioning Palestine into two independent States (Resolution 181), with Jerusalem internationalized.
[Map 2] In the 1967 war, Israel occupied the remaining Palestinian land, that is the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which until then have been under Jordanian and Egyptian control.
So what did I learn? I learned that in 1947 we were told that we deserve more than half of our Palestine, and today we aim for less than 25% of it.
I fear that there is a trend of "land being lost with time", as if the map of Palestine is getting older and its paper is falling off.
Maybe if no solution is reached in the coming few years, there will be no Palestinian land to ask for anymore… it will be erased from the maps of the world!
