I guess this is part of the war of attrition that is being fought.
How easily they have accomplished "from the river to the sea" with maps.
Next is ground action in the locale to make the map real.
BTW, the maps and the accompanying lesson plans are funded by the Qatar government.
"One map, hanging on a classroom wall at PS 261 Zipporiah Mills in Brooklyn since at least April, is a colorful display of the Arab World with popular landmarks.
However, where Israel and Palestine would usually be is one shaded area labeled 'Palestine', with no mention of Israel at all.
The classroom is used by Palestinian-American teacher Rita Lahoud to teach pre-kindergarten to fifth grade students about Arabic culture and language.
She teaches a program funded by the Qatar Foundation International, a nonprofit owned by the Qatari Government, which posted a photo of the map to social media"

Of course it is.

PS 261 directed questions to the NYC Department of Education, which told The Free Press 'this is a map of countries that speak Arabic' and said 'why would it not be?' when asked if it was still there since the Hamas attack.
ok,..so this is the gist, I guess. The map only shows 'Arabic' speaking Countries. So of course it will not feature Italy or Hebrew speaking Israel. Of course, I get it, some may see it a bit suspect, though. Especially declaring Palestine a whole Country where Israel is meant to be.
The school in Texas has some strange demographics and horrible ratings. One student says they segregate the boys and girls and the students are mostly Muslim. The demographics state 2-6% Latino, yet 44% of the kids are in bilingual education. Those kids learning English are not Mexicans. They're from the Middle East is my guess.

I just browsed the first point, the map "of the Arab World." Israel is not marked. My best guess is because Israel is not an Arab country. Notice no other none-Arabic countries are marked either.
Some people are professional outrage artists.
