I’m not convinced that there is that deep a phenomenon here. Many of the examples are current, and may be explained just as well by current ideologies that focus on “power dynamics” or want everyone to have equa power. Or by the somewhat plausible heuristic that groups are amoral and will therefore use their power unfairly.
Also, while the pro Israeli map is plausibly about being the underdog, I’m not sure that it is the point of the pro Palestinian one. I think that one try to say that they were robbed of what was rightfully their—not that they are weaker. And even the pro israel map is very likely about “arabs already have enough land”—if it was about power, Iran and other non arab Muslim countries would be included
