MSNBC correspondent Martin Fletcher apologized over the weekend after being called out for agreeing with a series of long discredited Israeli-Palestinian maps.
Fletcher, who used to serve as NBC News’ Middle East correspondent, appeared on MSNBC on Saturday on a segment discussing the current violence in the Jewish state. Host Kate Snow presented a series of four maps purporting to show the loss of Palestinian land to the Israelis, since 1946. The only problem is that the maps present an entirely false narrative.

As the maps came on the screen, Snow said: “If you look at the map, we have a map that shows historically the areas that used to be Palestine in 1946 and then the UN plan there and then as it shrunk down to basically Gaza and the West Bank, right, and then present. So what does that show you, Martin, that the area where Palestinians are living, has it grown increasingly smaller?”
