The map is not a lie, but the description of it is. The lines all represent something true, but not what is written here.
The first map shows Jewish land ownership and then, everything else. Arab land ownership amounted to approximately 20% of the remaining territory in the first map, the rest was public or state owned land.
The second map shows the UN Plan from Resulution 181.... which the Jewish people agreed to and the Arabs rejected...
The third map shows the 1949 armistice lines which Jordan and the arab nations specifically said were NOT final borders just because they wanted to conquer all of Israel eventually. Also the name inside the map should read "West Bank of Jordan" and not Palestine.
The fourth map is the only thing that actually created Palestinian controlled territory. And before there was never ever any sovereignty of anyone calling themselves Palestinians.
So a better question is why didn't they accept any of the previous deals to create a Palestinian state? or why did they even go to war in the first place?

- Why hasn't Israel implemented "water-filled trenches" to protect its borders with hostile Palestinians, similar to what Egypt is doing?
- Would it be wise if people just dismissed the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and focused on the current situation?
- Why don't Israeli people admit their government kicked out Palestinians from their homes?
