The propaganda arm of the Democratic Party (Communist Party) and Muslim Brotherhood posted a fake cartoon map, pretending there was actually a state called Palestine before 1948. What a surprise!
MSNBC apologizes for ‘completely wrong’ maps of Israel
Last Thursday during a live on-air discussion between Snow and Fletcher, a series of maps were displayed entitled “Palestinian loss of land 1946 – present.”
The first map pertaining to 1946 labeled the entire territory as “Palestine” with the vast majority of the map colored green, denoting Palestinian control. The following maps dated “UN Plan 1947,” “1949-1967” and “Present” showed Palestinian-controlled territory decreasing dramatically in size over time.
The maps and subsequent analysis gave the impression that a state of Palestine had existed in 1946 when in fact the area was under British Mandatory rule until May 14, 1948.

In Monday’s apology, Snow told viewers that the mistake had become apparent after the segment aired and the network regretted using the maps.
"The bottom line is it was completely wrong; there was no state called Palestine,” Fletcher said.
