Are you kidding? Finding an official Palestinian map that doesn't pay any credence whatsoever to the existence of Israel is painfully simple, both in print and online. Here's an official link, from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics: http://www.pcbs.org/english/pal_map.htm Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria are marked. No recognition of Israel. The entire thing is "Palestine". Ron HaCohen's pitiful research is obvious and apparent. In addition to being unable to find a map (which was the central crux of one of his three arguments and which takes about 10 seconds to find online) his logic for refuting the argument for 'occupation' is similarly faulty. I'd love to take it apart - and I'm going to; tomorrow. Right now it's 6:20 AM, I just got in and I'm exhausted. I'm too tired to type. But I will. And Ron, do your research. You do no justice for the legitimacy of your cause when you publish inane babble and are unable to look up the simplest, "officialest" of websites to back up (or in this case, refute) your hollow arguments.
