I notice many people (across the political spectrum) referring to "Ottoman Palestine". I suggest they start saying "Ottoman Syria" as that was the name of the province. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what was a wilayet and what was a sanjak.
American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.

Isn't the topography threat outdated since Israel has an air force?
I'm not suggesting that Israel surrender the territories, but it's not like Tzahal will have to march up the Golan on horseback.
Can I know what the source of these maps please?
Thanks
