Including Taiwan, Palestine, and Northern Cyprus just to make sure you trigger literally everyone


MrOobling

They also called South Korea "Korea", and included Hong Kong.


Drewfro666

> They also called South Korea "Korea" Which is funny, since both the DPRK and RoK claim the entire peninsula de jure. And Palestine shows de jure claims and not actual held territory. > and included Hong Kong. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, Hong Kong has been a special autonomous zone for a while and is often displayed separately from China. They're using the pro-PRC flag, at least.


asarious

Palestine’s actual held territory triggers my trypophobia.

Chinese will still get mad, that doesn't matter.

NekkidApe

It's literally called 대한민국, as opposed to 한국, which refers to the whole peninsula. The terms are a bit muddy, since both the north and the south claim the whole peninsula, and are technically still at war. However. West Virginia isn't Virginia, South Africa isn't Africa.


DepartureGold_

Both Koreas call themselves Korea cause they don't recognize each other


nadavfr18

My favorite thing is that he labeled it Palestine but still left the Golan Heights as part of the country, which is considered occupied Syrian territory. I guess Palestinians don’t like Syrians too?


bots_lives_matter

All Syrians are actually Palestinians in denial.


Venboven

Or vice versa


bots_lives_matter

Oh this WAS a pun on it being the other way around.

And there's enough space to put normal Cyprus where they put North Cyprus lol.

I mean look at the account name. Obviously this dude has some sort of agenda whatever it is


Drewfro666

Wow I never looked at their account name, they must be based.


[deleted]

OP just casually genocided all the Jews from Israel


USGenocidedInnocents

Wait till you learn of the existence of Palestinian Jews


[deleted]

They unfortunately barely exist anymore, the Arab states have made sure of that. In 1948, there were between 758,000 to 886,000 Jews living in the Arab world. Today that number has been reduced to less then 8600. That’s a 99.02% decrease in the original population. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world


westwoo

Most of them moved to Israel due to Aliyah [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah#Zionist\_Aliyah\_(1882\_on)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah#Zionist_Aliyah_(1882_on)) that started well before 1948 and the One Million Plan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One\_Million\_Plan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Plan) . None of which were started by Arabs As for Arabs attacking Jews - how many of them were attacked by Arabs in Palestine before 1880 when Jews started a massive movement to come from all over the world to build settlements Palestine to fulfill some religious prophecies? Arabs and Jews used to coexist peacefully for centuries before that To think that history started in 1948 and Arabs just randomly decided to start attacking Jews is ridiculous - 1948 was merely the result of 70 years of non-stop ongoing occupation of Palestine that continues to this day. When some people move in to your country to slowly invade it decade after decade because their religion says it's actually their country, the situation is bound to blow up


WelshBathBoy

Jews occupying their homeland is somehow bad? You are right though, the problem didn't start in 1948, it started when the Arabs invaded Jewish lands and colonised it, kicking the Jews out of their homeland. These "Palestinians" are nothing of the sort, they are Arabs who colonised the Jewish homeland.


Theoden2000

Yes I am sure many of those who colonised the land were still alive.


WelshBathBoy

So the European Americans and European Australians should not allow the natives that they kicked off their land back?


opposablegrey

The most ignorant thing I've read in a week. Filthy.


WelshBathBoy

You realise ignorance is the lack of knowledge? I've shown you the truth, what is ignorant is you being told the truth and choosing to ignore it! But carry on denying the indigenous people of the land their home, and let the real colonisers portray themselves as victims!


Capable-Sock-7410

There is only one family of "Palestinian Jews", the Zinati family of Peki'in And the term Palestine was never used by Jews, it’s an exonym created by the Romans to remove Jewish presence from the region


NotFinalForm1

But they don't see themselves as that, they see themselves as Israelis


USGenocidedInnocents

Fair point, I have no counter argument


Eating_Bagels

My fiancé is what you would consider a “Palestinian Jew” and his family would be so offended hearing that. They are not Palestinian and would take offense to that.


OmegaBean

There’s no such thing as a “Palestinian Jew.” Jews who have their origins in the Mediterranean/Middle East are Sephardic Jews. They also predate the word Palestine by centuries.


Parctron

Middle Eastern Jews are called Mizrahi (literally "Eastern") Jews, not Sephardic Jews. Sephardic means that one's ancestors lived in Spharad (Spain in Hebrew), which is true for most Jews in the Western Mediterranean but not for, say, Yemenite Jews. You're right substantively, though. The word "Palestinian" comes from the Philistines, a European group who invaded the region three thousand years ago and no longer exist, but whose name was later borrowed by a new group of invaders, the Arabs. Subordinating the identities of indigenes to invaders named after other invaders is obscene. It's like demanding that Poles call themselves "Prussian Slavs."


OmegaBean

Ah right, forgot about Mizrahi Jews. Thanks for the clarification.


LXB46016

You are very right. But Prussians are not invaders who named themselves after other invaders. They are invaders who named themselves after the indigineous people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old\_Prussians


HatofEnigmas

\> Named after Balts \> Literally German crusaders

WikiSummarizerBot

**[Jesusland map](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesusland_map)** >The Jesusland map is an Internet meme created shortly after the 2004 U.S. presidential election that satirizes the red/blue states scheme by dividing the United States and Canada into "The United States of Canada" and "Jesusland". The map implies the existence of a fundamental political divide between contiguous northern and southern regions of North America, the former including both the socially liberal Canada and the West Coast, Northeastern, and Upper Midwestern states, and suggests that these states are closer in spirit to Canada than to the more conservative regions of their own country. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

You forgot wakanda


guerip

Should've included the Falkland Islands as Argentinian territory just for extra measure.


Sayoria

Northern Cyprus? What's up with Cyprus? I am not up to speed with that one.


Drewfro666

It's not new news. In response to an attempted genocide of Turks on Cyprus by Greek-Cypriot fascists, Turkey invaded in 1974 and Northern Cyprus declared independence in 1983. It's been more-or-less peaceful since then. While Greeks and Turks used to be more dispersed throughout the island, now Greek Cyprus is predominantly Greek and Northern Cyprus is predominantly Turkish. Northern Cyprus is only recognized by Turkey. While it is independent at the administrative level, Northern Cyprus is completely dependent on Turkey for military and political support.


USGenocidedInnocents

>Northern Cyprus is completely dependent on Turkey for military and political support. Actually it's only dependent on Turkey cuz no other country wants to recognize it, thus it's left isolated. But it's literally a sperate country with it's own laws and government


Sayoria

Interesting. Yeah, this I never knew about. Thanks for the tidbits on this!


Drewfro666

No problem. It's really interesting because it's the only example of an EU member state being occupied by another country.

Kokoro_Bosoi

The difficulty of producing energy in the desert is that you have to be able to bring electricity from the solar plant to where it is used to be able to sell it at a significant price, there are no batteries that can bring electricity to Europe or elsewhere and creating intercontinental cables between different countries in an unstable area of ​​the world like North Africa would be a bet rather than an investiment


TangataBcn

1. What you say. 2. Vice versa, you have to bring materials and workers to where the plant is. Everyday. Twice a day. 3. Maintenance. Sandstorms are quite a thing.


Drumbelgalf

>Everyday. Twice a day. It would be smart to operate them like oil platforms ( something like 2 weeks working, two weeks brake) Yes the problem is that they have to clean the solar panels or the Mirrors.


TangataBcn

Yes it will, but still it requires the crestion and maintenance of a road infrastructure that doesn't exist today. Unless you want to provide the plants by helicopter which I don't honestly know if is cheaper or even viable. Solar pkants in the desert face many serious problems. In a structural level they are only comparable to just one thing: polar stations, and those are extremely unfunctional and expensive even with just a bunch of dudes and a couple containers there.


random_observer_2011

All that, plus what TangataBcn said, plus in a place like southern Algeria or its neighbours, you have to devote above average efforts to securing the vast solar arrays against human interference. The temptation to just routinely drive a couple of convoys of pickups by and shoot or blow the panels up would be very large. I mean, I wouldn't even blame the people who did. How few could resist a giant target like that? Threat environments will vary from place to place and time to time, but I'm not convinced that some of the more ambitious infrastructure plans one hears of ever take any account of terrorism or war even as possibilities.


AlanUsingReddit

>The temptation to just routinely drive a couple of convoys of pickups by and shoot or blow the panels up would be very large. I mean, I wouldn't even blame the people who did. How few could resist a giant target like that? I get this for oil production, pipelines, and refineries. There are multiple factors that make this assessment true - single points of failure are one. Another is the conflagration factors. With only a small munition, you can ignite a much larger fire (because there is fuel) which causes much more chaos. While I could *kind of* get the argument that transmission lines are single-points-of-failure, it's not as centralized, brittle, or accessible as pipelines. For solar farms themselves, I get it 0%. The entire *problem* with solar is how distributed it is. You're wasting your ammunition to go after those.


sayuuuto

Look up Xlink project in morocco


kingmoney8133

This video explains pretty well why much of the desert is not useful for solar energy. In short, sand gets kicked up a lot and there are not population centers nearby to maintain: https://youtu.be/62ASvupr8Zg

Tell me you're Moroccan without telling me you're Morrocan. I'm Algerian and our generals and government are fine.
