If your memory/education fails you, try googling "Halabja Kurds". Hmmm. Jerusalem is not on EgyptAirs map. Apparently the claim that Jerusalem is the "farthest mosque", "the third holiest site" in Islam is false. Ron Newman, did muslim war criminal sadaam hussein of iraq ever have WMDs?

Even the location of Alexandria is off — on an <i>Egyptian</i> map. You have to hope EgyptAir's pilots and mechanics are better educated than their cartographers. On the positive side, if the same people are supplying maps to the Egyptian military, Israel should be safe from invasion. I think Naomi’s right.
