Israeli Arabs in Nazareth erase Israel in racist Guinness bid (update)


Israeli Arabs in Nazareth are attempting to break some sort of Guinness World Record by creating a giant map out of fingerprints.

A map of "Palestine" that does not include Israel.

The project, which was launched on May 2, has the slogan "one nation... one blood ...one people", to address the basic idea that "the Arabs in the occupied territories of 1948 are part of this [Arab] nation from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf and are still clinging to their land and defending their Arab identity."

Hani Khoury is the 24-year old artist behind this initiative and he says that so far some 3000 fingerprints of Arabs from "the territories of 1948 and the West Bank have been added to the map."

The fingerprint colors are black, green and red, hte colors of the PLO flag.

The idea that Israeli Arabs want the entire area from the Atlantic to the Gulf should be Judenfrei does not seem to bother anyone.

Just in case you are wondering what Khoury's intent is, here is an illustration from the project Facebook page that shows how he views his artwork:


UPDATE: One of the sponsors of this racist initiative is the municipality of Nazareth!
