Research

A Cheap Holiday in other Peoples Misery

Following on from the experimental montage I made last week (Safe European Homes - See earlier post below) I started looking at how tourism is sold to the consumer and found this map of Israel in a holiday brochure.


It seems Palestine has literally been wiped of the face of the earth. I find it interesting to compare it to real maps of the region.

This is a map from the BBC :

This is a map that shows the land the Palestinians have lost in the last 60 years or so.


Of course none of this is mentioned in the brochure.



To quote the companies own literature "We will look after you and take you on a journey that will exploit"
