    Jalal nali,

    Israelis are sensitive to their “territorial integrity” too – does that mean we should remove Palestine?

    Again, no.

    Palestinians want their “territorial integrity”, which means that “Isreal” should be removed, and not be at all.

    Back to track, which your comment Jillian, you state that you don’t believe in the Moroccan integrity?

    I stated no such thing. I don’t agree with Morocco’s handling of the issue, and avoidance of a referendum, but without having been to Western Sahara and having seen it with my own eyes, I cannot make a decision on what is or is not right.

    This map is the official map admited by UN, so it’s the right one.
