A closeup of the map which replaces all of Israel with "Palestine," shown at UN Headquarters, October 3, 2017
Israel - a UN member state - was erased from the map and replaced with "Palestine" at a seminar held at UN Headquarters on October 3, 2017. The event was "organized by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights," and entitled: "Introducing the Arab Network for National Human Rights Institutions and its Role in the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in the Arab Region." The UN used its extraordinary facilities to webcast the event - and the map - around the world.
The map appeared on two occasions, as part of a video played during the UN-sponsored event. Lest anyone miss the point, the map named Arab states in blue and left non-Arab states unnamed in white spaces. All of Israel was in blue and labeled "Palestine."
