What a dishonest page. The first map asserts that any part of the land
not directly occupied by a Jew was "Palestinian" land. In fact, most
of the land was unoccupied at the time (hint: the south is the Negev
Desert). The map ignores all of the land that was given to the
Palestinians, we call it Jordan today.

And it ignores that through 1948 Jews were legally buying land.

And it is simply factually wrong
since Jews occupied far more land than that in 1947. The initial
partition plan by the U.N. roughly gave land to Israel that was
occupied by Jews. So the second map actually represents where people
were living.

Then we have the change from map 2 to map 3 that somehow forgot to
mention that the Arab countries attacked Israel, trying to, as they
said, push all of the Jews into the sea. Somehow I fail to have
sympathy for someone who failed at their attempted genocide.

Map 4 is also simply wrong about what land Palestinians hold. You
notice that none of these maps even pretend to have sources.

All in all, a piece of dishonest garbage.
