(CBN) – An official New Zealand government webpage about immigration has come under fire for displaying an inaccurate and distorted fact sheet that eliminated Israel. The site’s map of the Middle East showed the land of Israel, but instead of calling it Israel, the site called it “Palestine”. It was part of a fact sheet offering information about Palestinian immigrants to New Zealand. It also described East Jerusalem as “the designated capital of the State of Palestine,”
according to Christians United for Israel. Israel Institute of New Zealand reports the geography of the map was totally inaccurate, completely rejecting Israel’s existence. “The most immediately obvious of the errors was a map labeling the whole of modern-day Israel as ‘Palestine,'” said the institute’s director, Ashley Church. “This is incredibly offensive and the equivalent of New Zealand Immigration displaying a map of the UK which removed Scotland and Wales and referred to the entirety of the British Isles as England.” READ MORE
