To be fair. You should count 1947 as the first map. While giving independence, the British divided "British Palestine" into Israel and Palestine.

This map makes it look like Israel came out of nowhere and captured the land.

Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005 so the 2010 map is straight up wrong - all of Gaza should be green. (At least at the time of writing!)

However the West Bank looks accurate for 1947 onwards. it can't be denied that there have been increasing numbers of Israeli settlements in West Bank drastically reducing areas that Palestinians can move about freely. This is often obscured on most maps showing the West Bank as one entity, when actually the bit controlled by Palestinian authority is more a patchwork of settlements.

The 1946 map should be completely red as the whole thing was a British colony, before 1919 is was the Ottoman empire, and it goes on...
