Great article, and WOW.
A comment on related article on ArsTechnical had something interesting to say:

When you find yourself on the same side as Hassan Nasrallah, Louis Farrakhan and David Duke on the question of a country’s right to exist, it’s time to re-examine every opinion you hold.
This article is the counterpoint to another recent and logically incoherent New York Times article by Michelle Goldberg titled "Anti-Zionism Isn’t the Same as Anti-Semitism".
Anti-Zionism is the denial to grant the Jewish People their right to self-determination, which is without a doubt Anti-Semitic.
Cool visualization of largest known breaches since 2004.
WWI footage, restored, colorized and with added sound. Looks incredible.
