This paper reflects on our ‘Map Conversation’ session at the 2024 RGS‐IBG Annual Conference. The session explored internationalism through cartographic depictions of the League of Nations and Palestine. The reflection is structured in three parts. First, we introduce maps that popularised the League of Nations, reflecting on the role of cartography in fostering international consciousness in the 1920s. Second, we analyse Palestine maps from the mid‐nineteenth century to early twenty‐first century and chart the colonial and settler‐colonial encroachment in Palestine, culminating with the partition of Palestine in the Nakba of 1947–48. Third, we consider these maps through the lens of disjuncture. We argue that disjuncture, rather than a shortcoming, is a valuable tool for engaging with map collections in the context of the unfolding crisis in Gaza
