Here is yet another example of the West's craven political correctness when it comes to pleasing the Palestinian lobby. British Airways came up with an in flight map that substituted "Palestinian territories" for Israel. The Independent has the story.

First of all, there is no nation called Palestine. There never has been.
Second of all, British Airways should pay attention to their own country, which in the eyes of many observers ( like me), is almost gone.
Didn't you notice it's called BRITISH airways?
ReplyDeleteIt was Britain that drew the boundaries of the British Mandate of Palestine.
Britain voted against partition in the United Nations.
They're just adhering to their own traditions, history and culture.
