Tfw Isntrael is east of Gaza, but west of the West Bank, so it's hard to be as smugly correct as possible when owning libs

map on baidu

Fox is editorializing, but the map doesn't have 以色列. Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria are there as 黎巴嫩, 约旦, and 叙利亚 respectively, but Israel is missing. You have two cities Heifa as 海法 and Jerusalem as 耶路撒冷.

It's also worth pointing out that Palestine (巴勒斯坦) is also absent. The names do not show up on the topographic view on Baidu maps, unless you search for them first (self tested images below under spoiler tag)

Based Xi engaging in dark cartographomancy to cast a curse on the apartheid state

Oh, that sounds like a fun historical fiction.

For as long as anyone could remember, the land would change. Coasts would shift, subtly. A jetty here, a tide pool there. The outlet of a river might wander through, then be swallowed back up by the land as if it had never been. Hills would shake off the winter snow and roam under the planes.

And then the cartographers arrived, and everything stood still.

there's a fun inversion of "the map is not the territory" lurking in here

This is vaguely the plot of Loop Hero.

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

For the past couple of weeks people on Bilibili (Chinese video sharing site) were pointing out stuff like "You know on apple maps there's no Palestine" and "I said some anti-israel things on western websites and it got removed. curious". Every western accusation is an admission of guilt.

I take back what I said about China theoretically siding with Israel in WWIII, some-controversy is based as usual

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
