Personally, I think this video may be crying "wolf!" unnecessarily, much as I distrust the BBC. After all, it was the Mandate for Palestine that the British acquired in the immediate wake of the break up of the Ottoman Empire.
It's hard to see where they plucked this "modern day" map from. Initially Iraq was Mesopotamia and Jordan was Transjordan till 1946. So it has to be after '46. Also the British Mandate wasn't a "state" in any sense of the word. So it's a map that's never existed. The BBC is clearly in fantasy land, there's never been an Arab Palestinian State.
But there's been a win over the "map that lies" Toronto transit turns down ‘inaccurate’ anti-Israel ads http://www.jpost.com/Jewish-World/Jewish-News/Toronto-transit-turns-down-inaccurate-anti-Israel-ads-329418
