Opinion by Gershom Gorenberg: Tel Aviv wants kids to see Israel’s actual border. That should not be controversial.
Tel Aviv’s new school maps also show the “border of sovereignty,” which takes in the Golan and East Jerusalem but otherwise matches the Green Line. Together the two lines are essential for understanding Israel’s political, security and foreign policy issues. Yet official maps and textbooks don’t show them.The decision to erase the Green Line was made a few months after the 1967 war.
Presumably, it took time for old maps to crumble and old textbooks to be replaced. But by the 1980s, the only place in Israel where I could find a current map showing the Green Line was on the wall of a foreign diplomat’s office. The location of the line faded from popular consciousness as the generation that grew up before 1967 aged. In 2005, two geography professors published research in which they asked university students to sketch the Green Line on a map.
