jewish settlements map i'm removing the jewish settlements map because it is hardly npov the yellow area is unlabeled but when viewed together with the partition map one get the impression that the yellow area is all populated by arabs in fact much of it including the entire southern negev was virtually unpopulated overall the map creates the impression that palestine was an arab land with a tiny scattered jewish community in fact as the text of the article states the population was approximately jewish it uses the term settlements thus ignoring jewish population living in the land for centuries in cities like jerusalem safed and tiberias also the term settlements has gained certain connotations in recent years since it's applied to jewish population in the west bank and the gaza strip
