Palastine/Israel land shift. Can someone justify this photo to me? Until I saw it I had no idea and I am most certainly no expert.

That's about the size of it.

I believe it was due to the Arab-Israeli wars. Even from the get go, Jews were a minority before the partition.

As for justification, Israel is a prime example of the essence of the nation-state.
