Once again, the militantly Zionist Algemeiner website has published an article that reads almost like parody. If you take a close look at the image above, you will see that the map being displayed shows a—Gasp! Horror!—Palestinian flag in the top left corner! And this sinful photo apparently has a Jewish organization burning with anger.
Frankly the group mentioned, the “Palestinian Media Watch,” is one I had never heard of, and initially reading the story, you almost get the feeling that the name is part of the parody. But no, it seems they’re a real group, and despite all the wars, murders, atrocities, and economic collapses occurring in the world, they have found time to grouse and complain over a picture.
The woman standing on the right side of the map is Ann Dismorr, an official with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), a UN organization whose mandate is to provide assistance to Palestinian refugees. Dismorr, who is Swedish, is Director of UNRWA Affairs in Lebanon, and the photo apparently was taken in early May at the opening ceremony of an improvement project launched at the Rashidieh refugee camp in southern Lebanon.
But let’s get back to the map being displayed. The PMW says it “erases the State of Israel and presents all of it as Palestine,” and the group apparently feels that this is, in effect, a denial of Israel’s much-bally-hooed “right to exist.” A spokesperson for the UNRWA has disputed this, saying the map is pre-1948, but as you’ll see if you follow the link over to Algemeiner’s website, his explanation is regarded as insufficient.
UNRWA Claims Director Didn’t Pose With Map that Erases Israel, Despite Evidence to the Contrary

In a continuing tete-a-tete, The UNRWA has rejected claims made earlier this week by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) that one of its Middle East directors posed with a map that removed Israel, instead claiming the map was of the region prior to the creation of the Jewish state.
Ann Dismorr, Director of UNRWA Affairs in Lebanon, posed with the map earlier this month during the launch of an UNRWA project to improve the water supply network and rehabilitate shelters in the Rashidieh Camp.
UNRWA spokesperson Christopher Gunness, responding on UNRWA’s website, rejected PMW’s report.

So there you have it! Gross, flagrant anti-Semitism on the part of these do-gooders trying to improve the water system in a refugee camp! The treachery of it all!
Who erased the Israeli flag from that map? By God, we need to get to the bottom of this!
