The graphic is entirely intended to be scary Wes....  That was it's purpose when it was designed and published.
 
If you think of it simply as a 1 dimensional representation of border / occupied areas as defined by a timeline, it presents a fairly oppressive representation of Israeli dominance in the region.
 
But, when you overlay the history of conflict in the region - who started what, why and what the objectives were, it presents an entirely different perspective on the graphic.
 
If you and I were sat in the pub together and I had 4 full pints in front of me and you had none, someone that had just walked in might think - look at that greedy barsteward, he's got all the beer and his mate has an empty glass. What they wouldn't know by looking at the table is that I'd been letting you punch me in the face for the past 20 minutes and each time you punched me, I punched you back harder and took your beer.... 
 
 

What he also didn't tell you is that the pub is completely surrounded by the empty glass guys mates who have already killed the 4 pint guys friends and relatives and now they are waiting for the opportunity to get him.... he's just decided that unlike his already dead and abused kin. He's not going to go down without a fight.
Great analogy!
Cheers!!

And booze while we're doing it!
No boozing for me tonight though.
I'm on Fosters.

Brilliant.

https://videopress.com/v/WrR4udIn   Sounds pretty extreme to me.

That is his "extreme" personal view which, as he said, would not be the law of the land.

I myself like it when politicians feel free to express personal views rather than lying, evading an answer or just constantly bleeting the party policy lines like most politicians do.

Peter Sutcliffe's personal view was that God told him it was alright to kill prostitutes.

He probably misheard God.

Tbh, I think Corbyn is the politician with the most extreme beliefs....

Just to take it to it's natural conclusion Ti, the bloke sat in the pub currently nursing 4 full pints, but knowing that, at any given moment, the mob outside (and their mates from overseas) have made it known to anyone that will listen, that they are going to storm in a mash him, has taken due precaution to ensure that when / if that day does come, all the mugs outside should be aware that that he's got a big nasty club which he's going to use to ensure anyone that thinks they might want to "have a go" will pay a very heavy toll for their overt aggression.  

 

If only the bloke with 4 pints would give 2 back and the mob would stop gesturing and threatening....  Then maybe they'd be in a better place all round.
