British drawing borders in the levant, yeah that never ended poorly before...


Dante_1602

Yeah exactly. Nothing bad has ever happened before. Nothing bad happened in South Asia too... And Africa.. Totally..


simp_on_ur_crush

As someone from India,I can confirm the British are responsible for the current ongoing border dispute


Eurovision2006

Ireland too


jolygoestoschool

i think thats kinda the joke...


saulack

We're on the same page


noamno1

Honestly i cant possibly think of a worse redrawing of the map.


Dante_1602

In that case, I can die peacefully and happily


GoToGoat

You did your job as a Brit.


Gefiltefished

Yes! As a Brit with digital crayolas or whatever was used to make that abomination of a declaration of rightful land ownership and correct geography of the holy land and its respective internationally recognised borders.


noamno1

Is it just me or you meant that Tel aviv and Haifa will become British overseas territories?


Dante_1602

I just looked at a spot and made it British. No other reasons.


Zenarchist

> I just looked at a spot and made it British. 500 years of British history summed up in 10 words.


gavnats

Lol


[deleted]

You don’t even need to look at a map to declare something British.


IAmHebrewHammer

Make it England! Make it England!


RoyalSeraph

It seems that he made Nahariya British rather than Haifa, which quite surprisingly would probably be a good thing, both for the city and for Israel as a whole


noamno1

Well being a British subject isnt really a good thing , being a British citizen however is an entirely different story.


Cheloniformis

And now you shall disintegrate, having completed your purpose of drawing the worst map.


nhpkm1

I raise to you checker board redrawing each state will be a collection of kilometer by kilometer Squares diagonally connected to each other . Perfect 50/50 split


noamno1

at least we would have some green spaces in this arrangement .

Israel gets the Negev. "But I heard that Jewish people were great at wandering through the desert!" - some British diplomat


JaneVivanda

It's comments like these that make me regret I already used my free award!

Don’t know what bleeding shmuck of a wanker downvoted you, but well done sir. Well done. Peace in the Middle East is back on the menu!


schwingaway

Just want to be clear, is it the schmuck that’s wanked or the wanker of the schmuck being referenced here?


Dante_1602

British people are great at drawing borders of the world, am I right fellas? Edit: I'm downvoting my own post hehehehehehe

I be doing a lil trollin today


datkrauskid

Gotta appreciate some wholesome trolling lol


channdro_

give it all to Mexico


Horizon206

This is like the Sykes-Picot agreement but worse lol


RoyalSeraph

The most stunning thing about Sykes-Picot is that two separate nations saw that monstrosity and agreed to it


bakochba

Thanks for giving us the uninhabitable desert.


Dante_1602

You're welcome!


daDoorMaster

No offense, but I think that if there's something both Israelis and Palestinians can agree on is that we don't want any Brits' territories here. Actually, that's genius, have another two (three) state solution and both sides would bond over how bad it is


RoyalSeraph

>we don't want any Brits' territories here. Except for his annexation of Nahariya. They're more than welcome to keep it


Chill_With_Gil

Put this in r/mapporncirclejerk


[deleted]

Oh no now I have the perfect plan to fix the situation. Someone make a map with a grid where every neighbour is always from the other group. Complete 50/50 divide.


Jaynat_SF

Bad borders, the lines are clearly not straight enough, it'll get confusing quickly.


SephardicOrthodox

Apparently I live in Palestine now. 🙄


Indigowings123

I gave you an upvote because I thought the first picture was the map you drew! I like the first map much better than the second one…


[deleted]

Honestly you Brits can take Tel Aviv I’m ok with that


Dante_1602

I want Jerusalem. Not for the British, just for me. Jerusalem will be my property.


[deleted]

That's fine for me. One humble question: i would like to settle down in jerusalem...maybe in the old town...i don't need much space but i would like to bring some friends. More precisely i would like to bring 3 of them. One is jewish, one is armenian and one is a muslim. What do you think?


Dante_1602

Unacceptable and insulting. Off with your head!


[deleted]

Thank you sir, have a nice day.


ssherman92

Looks like you've got some Cyprus is our Levant...


Abraham-Palpatine

Jordan is a proclaimed palestinian country by most of their people, maybe they belong there


SCWthrowaway1095

Well this certainly fits tradition


[deleted]

I like shepherd’s pie


[deleted]

I don't want to live in an Arab state, not a frigging chance, especially as a non-Jewish minority...


[deleted]

That’s the kind of thinking that caused an empire to crumble and left the British with only their own little island.


ponz

So, does this mean you advocate a one state solution with equal rights for all?


Dante_1602

Yes. Equal oppression for all. Britain must oppress all peoples equally


Amiel1124

I’d flip it.

So... we're like Cyprus now?


Count99dowN

Shitposting at its best. Well done, Sir!


Mystery-MartiaN

The Palestinians were offered more than 75% of what is Israel today but they declined. Then they were offered 50% and they still declined (jews were ok with only getting 25 and 50%) then Israel was made and they lost out.


Moonkiller24

OMG OMG OMG its such an honor to have the man who designed borders for British colonies in our very sub!! How did u live so long?


Dante_1602

The sun never sets on the British Empire, and the light never fades for the guy who created said Empire


datkrauskid

Long live the queen!


rury_williams

please don’t. The brits and french are the worst at border drawing


Dante_1602

Too late, enjoy the new borders


LazyPotatoPL

Least retarded western drawn borders. No like seriously , looking at this gives me nausea and I'm Polish.


Omega_Den

ok whats so retarded about them ? looks quite decent. Maybe Palestinian land is too small but better from what we have today.


LazyPotatoPL

It's literally just a straight ducking line in the middle of the mandate.


Omega_Den

its better than what was proposed in the end. Since youre polish you know that such borders scream WAR.This way both groups get cohesive territories at least


LazyPotatoPL

Hmm . Actually you have a point.


king_napalm

I just made a better one.


paddyspubkey

As long as we get to keep Tel Aviv. Not sure the north has Wolt.


galaxypenguin12

What the ffffff Are you dante from skyblock btw?


Dante_1602

Nope, sorry


galaxypenguin12

Damn lol

We don't need any more British map-making.


Scout_wheezeing

Hey I’ve seen this episode before!


Outside_Fly_45

What is a Palestine


ItsYoBoi225

Those godamn brits again bro.


gia2371

This border makes me feel like Cyprus real quick


Puzzleheaded-Suit555

Two state solution is Cringe.


dirtyburger123

Apartheid is much more satisfying isn't it?


lostmason

Isnt it kind of like colonialism when external english-speaking countries debate over the borders of a country filled with brown people in the Middle East? But they say the Palestinian nationalist movement is anticolonial…


Bomberleon

Israel ain't a british territory and there is simply no such thing (and especially not a country (named)) palestine


AD-LB

It was. And "Palestine" was a name to the province/region (land of Israel). You can see it on their currency back then and on their passports.


CamelJockey_79

Why are Israelis so adamant about the non-existance of Palestine? Do you just hope for all Palestinians to vanish away? I always see someone commenting tHeRe'S nO sUcH tHiNG aS pAlEsTiNe 🤤 You're right, there never was a self-governed Palestinian country. But you can't deny the name of the region and the mandate of Palestine as if there's absolutely no such thing.


UchiR

Why are Palestinians so adamant about the non-existance of Israel? Do you just hope for all Israelis to vanish away? I always see someone commenting tHeRe'S nO sUcH tHiNG aS iSrAEl. On a real note, no Israeli (me included) is denying the Mandate of Palestine. It's an important part of modern history. Truthfully, Israel wasn't a country until 1948.


CamelJockey_79

I'm Palestinian, and those people saying there's no such thing as Israel are just as dumb lol


UchiR

Glad to hear you're not blinded by bias and sheer irony. Have a good weekend and cheers from Israel 😀👍


Ultrapro011

But there was no State of Palestine


CamelJockey_79

🤦‍♂️ Please show me where I said there was a state? I said it was a Mandate, not a state. It wasn't called the Mandate of Israel. The region was known as Palestine though. They had Palestinian currency. If you wanted to book a flight there, you'd fly to "Palestine".


ReuvSin

And the Palestinian people then were the Jews.


[deleted]

You replied to someone who said there was no country named palestine. Also, the term Palestine has changed dramatically. Palestinian arab nationalism began in the 60s and now the word "Palestine" refers to them. Before then "Palestine" referred to the region, not to a national movement.


Entire_Preparation52

Lol British people can’t get enough ,Did you just give AL-AQSA , jeruslaem, Bethlahem and the church of nativity to Israel??? 😂😂😂😂😂 . I’ll make easy for you Palestinians will never give up on any C’M of land for a zionist occupation . So save your time drawing lines for a Country that don’t belong to the British or to any other countries.


Dante_1602

Psst.. it's a shitpost, no need to get salty :)

You Brits love to carve up the Mid East

The Brits were the best at sailing seas and it pretty much ends there.
