Update (14:20 EST): Newsweek has now corrected the graphic, showing the West Bank and Gaza Strip in red with Israel in gray.
I don't know if Newsweek is as eager to be rid of Israel as "The State of Islam" is these days or not, but on its interactive online map of the mid east, the news mag is featuring a map of Israel labeled as "Palestinian Territory."
Once you click over to the Newsweek map, holding the mouse over the tiny red shape north of Egypt will bring up a popup map showing Israel clearly labeled as "Palestinian Territory."
Here is a screen shot of the current map on Newsweek's site:
Of course, we all know that to be the shape of Israel, not any "Palestinian Territory"... unless you happen to be looking in Jihadi textbooks and online sites, of course. Perhaps Newsweek hired some nice Jihadis to create its website?
Nice move, Newsweek. Really trustworthy work, there.

Elder of Ziyon notes...
March 3, 2009 - 10:09 ET by DMartyrthe Newsweek map also shows Gaza as a part of Egypt.
It seems Newsweek longs for the pre-'67 borders.

They've fixed the error now
March 3, 2009 - 13:44 ET by SpaceManSpiffThey've fixed the error now and it's depicted properly.
Apparently, nobody is proofing their work there. (like that's a surprise!)

March 3, 2009 - 10:12 ET by SeashellI am so disappointed in Newsweek. I use to take the magazine and enjoyed it. Now, it is nothing but a liberal rag.

No, it would be labeled "The United States Of Islam".

Newsweek = UN
March 3, 2009 - 10:31 ET by GothampcA few years ago, the UN sponsored a dinner. They had a map of Israel up that was labeled "Palestine". I've come to expect the UN to be anti-Semitic, but am a bit shocked that Newsweek went this far.
NEWSPEAK the Official Recorder and Rewriter of History

March 3, 2009 - 11:23 ET by KevroyI'm a branch manager of a bank. We get lots of magazines for the lobby and when Time and Newsweek arrive....I throw them in the trash.
I work in a library, Kev
March 3, 2009 - 11:50 ET by Scout FinchWhen I return magazines to the rack, I keep the most egregious covers in the back. However, when Newsweek thought to enlighten as to how "We are all Socialists now" I kept that issue front and center. Most of the patrons who read our magazines tend to be a little older, and I want that cover to resonate and incite them.
Re Library
March 3, 2009 - 13:23 ET by slickwillie2001I do the same thing poster, only in stores. I take the offensive covers and bury them behind something else different genre. Those magazines with M'chel on the cover might not be found until the store is renovated. This is as close to civil disobedience I can get at my age.
hey Kevroy -- TRASH here --
March 3, 2009 - 12:00 ET by Jack Bauerhey Kevroy -- TRASH here -- please stop polluting my receptacle with those RED rags. I have standards you know.

March 3, 2009 - 11:49 ET by RousseThis is an egregious assault by Newsweek, and I hope the editor gets a personal visit from someone in the Israeli embassy.
I gave up on Time and Newsweek when Jimmy Carter was elected. I gave up on US News and Report during the Clinton administration.
The Philippines is Muslim?
March 3, 2009 - 11:54 ET by WingletDriverWhy on earth is the Philippines color-coded? It is more than 80% Catholic and boasts a Muslim population of 5% (about the same as Mormonism). It has about the same percentage of Muslims as do Western European countries.
And what about the "Stans"? Aren't they Muslim?
I think Newsweek just got
March 3, 2009 - 13:43 ET by eaglewingz08I think Newsweek just got ahead of itself, thinking maybe Tzipi Livni instead of Netanyahu would get the go ahead to form the new Israeli gov't. Or perhaps those famous 'fact checkers' at Newsweek used facts from prior to 1948, when that area was designated 'Palestine'?
Or perhaps Newsweek's correspondents were phoning in from Durban II, and just photocopied a map that was lying around those lovely tolerant conference tables?
Or maybe Israel should just change its name to Palestine and that way it could keep Gaza the West Bank, Israel Proper, the Golan Heights and Jordan as well?
Mainstream Media?
March 3, 2009 - 14:15 ET by needleI wonder just how much Newsweek aligns with mainstream America.
I wonder just how many Americans agree with Newsweek’s “geography.”

March 3, 2009 - 14:59 ET by jazzact13It looks like Newsweek has fixed it now. Maybe they got some flack about it.
