Here is a post that comes from the blog KABOBfest. It's a very cool site that should be checked out on it's own account. This map was published by Strange Maps and made by a French man named Julien Bousac. The main point is "an illustration of the West Bank’s ongoing fragmentation based on the (originally temporary) A/B/C zoning which came out of the Oslo process, still valid until now. To make things clear, areas ‘under water’ strictly reflect C zones, plus the East Jerusalem area, i.e. areas that have officially remained under full Israeli control and occupation following the Agreements. These include all Israeli settlements and outposts as well as Palestinian populated areas.”
There is an interesting and short explination of some of the reactions to the map on Strange Maps
Feel free to ignore the on-going comments at the end - they are useless and unforutnately take away from the power of the artwork and the artist's original intent.
