  • Can you link the original articles?

    It’s possible “change the map” means different here, often times that phrase is used to indicate a change of status quo rather than a literal “redrawing of the map”

    I just googled the article: the Gaza article is literally about changing of the status quo of daily life, and mentions the annexation. The article is about change in life, redrawing the map is used as a euphemism for that. The phrase is being used as a literal “this place is changed” (though, again to be fair … it has changed because of the gross and illegal annexation/genocide)

    I agree though, the way language is used has meaning and impact, but the story used euphemism for a story about humanity.

    Idk if this is quite the cut and dry comparison it seems
