I was wondering about the Occupied Palestine thing. It seems crazy, but I can sort of understand that. The "blacked out" part, is hard to believe. Kind of an ignorant mentality, "If I don't look at it or recognize it, then it's not actually there." I think the US has actually done that sort of thing in the past, back in the 40s, 50s and 60s.
