Note: heavily pixelated latitude and longitude. Google Earth “inhibited” on the West Bank of the dried up Jordan River, probably suppressed to conceal the illegitimate activity that Israel is undertaking. Up until lately street names have been absent and the massively inferior pixel quality in the Occupied Territories is palpable. You can see the disparity to the neighbours- even from a high altitude- the evergreen, the suburban, the maximum security, the loaned up the hilt, the after-the-event-archaeology-as-tourism; many sites of which rested in the rubble before the Nakbah and some of which ended up in the rubble as a result of the Nakbah. A shifting sea of rubble. Looking at Palestine in Google is an insult to the eyes, as this is a piece of franchised software that has been politicized way before the idea. Again, you can clearly see the disparity in the colour of the land between Israel and Palestine, the thirsty, insatiable occupier who is draining the Jordan and Golan Heights, as well as other basins, which it has done from day one. You can see the pathetic impotence of UN Boundaries, International Boundaries, Oslo Accords, Armistice Boundaries and anti-social historic walls of archaeological importance- but not the massive long concrete walls that encircle most of the country like a grey carbon seeping reptile- as David Icke would put it.
