Aaah yes, the anti-Semitic oil industry that carefully omits labeling Israel. It's shown as adjacent to the "Holy Land fields." Kowtowing to the the Arab clients' desires. Sigh.

have you actually looked at the map?

there a whole inset panel for israel, and not a single mention of palestine.

Because it's from before the Six-Day War.

It has an "Israel" labelled breakout on the right hand side?

Who knows, maybe the date is off by a year or two and Israel did not even exist then ;)

I was actually expecting all the "free palestine" crowd to complain that the zionists erased Palestine...

The West Bank is shown under Jordan, while Gaza under United Arab Republic (Egypt, plus Syria for a brief period, and almost Iraq). This reflects the reality in 1965. It was after all the height of Arab nationalism, with legitimate widespread desire to unite all Arab people (east of Libya at least) under a common country, and Palestinians were included in that.

In 1967 that would change, both coming under Israeli control/occupation.

It's on the right side of the map, not sure what you're talking about.

First of all they didn't

Here's a reminder of what the word 'Semitic' means:

"Semitic people or Semites is a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group[2][3][4][5] associated with people of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, including Akkadians (Assyrians and Babylonians), Arabs, Arameans, Canaanites (Ammonites, Edomites, Israelites, Moabites, Phoenicians, and Philistines) and Habesha peoples"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people

Antisemitism means anti-Jewish, not anti the Semitic people, because Prussians [1]. (Though OP seems to muddle this up more than usual by capitalising and hyphenating the term.)

The the font for the title of the map meant to allude to the style of Arabic writing? It looks crazy.
saljam•47m ago
the arabic writing is also crazy, so i have no idea what author was going for.

More like it's imitating Persian writing...

That's a great website! The linked map is certainly interesting, but there's all kinds of map and map related info there. Thanks for the link!

The presumably Brezhnev caricature is an amusing touch.
