Exactly, this map misses the Sinai occupation and return.

This is the more correct version:

Very different story told here...

Compare the palestinian territories in the first and last slide on that image and the story told is exactly the same.

Not really - the green map famously pretends that all government land owned by the British by the Ottomans belonged to the Arab people that called themselves Palestinians in 1960. It also equates people that lived in British and Ottoman Palestine to those people, whereas both those places were multi ethnic states. It also ignores the proposed 23rd Arab state that was rejected by the Arabs.

this is the Green map. It’s widely known to be a hoax. It’s based on assuming all the government land that belonged to the British government and the Ottomans belonging only to the Palestinian Arabs (which it did not), British Palestine being a state only for Arabs (which it was not), an Arabs accepting partitioning (which they did not)

It's the first result when searching "israel over time" on google images. All other results tell a similar story.

Fair enough, if you haven't seen it:
