Rupert Murdoch vs reality

Rupert Murdoch receives an Anti-Defamation League award per Haaretz and proves, if any proof is needed, that the wealthy and famous and powerful can be utterly blind.

Media mogul K. Robert Murdoch on Thursday decried the "ongoing war against the Jews" and demanded an end to efforts to isolate Israel.

“Some believe that if America wants to gain credibility in the Muslim world and advance the cause of peace, Washington needs to put some distance between itself and Israel," he said. "My view is the opposite. Far from making peace more possible, we are making hostilities more certain.”

Here is a sequence of maps of Palestine that I have used before but that shows the truth so well in contrast to Mr. Murdoch's views that it deserves a re-appearance. I think the Palestinians could teach Mr. Murdoch a thing or two about what it means to be isolated.
