Nakba law and nakba map produce nakba dream / Yuval Ben-Ami http://972mag.com/nakba-law-and-nakba-map-produce-nakba-dream/Among the books my friends and I discovered a collection of maps. They present the country at a 1:100,000 scale and while published in the mid 50s, are mostly based on British maps charted in the early 40s. The publishers of the maps simply published the British maps, adding a circle for each new Israeli settlements founded over the years and marked each wrecked Palestinian village with the word 'demolished'. I never had any idea how large those communities were and how numerous. An excerpt of one such map is provided above. The entire compendium is literally the stuff of nightmares.
