I am sure you have seen this image before. But just to refresh your memory here:

The problem with that image is that all 4 pictures show different things. The first shows Jewish settlements. The secon the boundaries given by Britain, a boundary that Israel accepted but not the arabs. The third the boundaries after the 1949 war. The fourth shows the areas under control of the Palestinian authority.
I think people use this series of different maps to suggest the arab control is shrinking. If anything the fourth map shows that Palestinian control is growing. At no point in history have the Palestinian people ever had political control over any land prior to that.
