Google wiped out Palestine from its maps

[SID_NY]

Aaand just like that..one day google decided that the world should forget about Palestine so they cleared off Palestine outline and started showing everything as one Israel.

To verify this i just went to google maps and saw it myself. Its all Israel’s boundary now

I think this is quite outrageous. It just reminds me of the “umbrella corporation” of Resident evil.

Google Ignites International Outrage After Wiping Palestine Off the Map, Replacing it with Israel

Palestine – Internet giant Google has come under fire from around the world this week, after removing the name Palestine from Google Maps and replacing it with Israel. Interestingly, international mainstream corporate media has completely blacked out any coverage of the incident or the global outrage it has sparked.

When the keyword Palestine searched in Google Maps it directs you to Gaza, Judea and Samaria marked with a broken borderline, but nothing labeled Palestine. This marks a dramatic reversal of course for Google, as it was only in May 2013, that Google “recognized” Palestine by changing the text of its Palestinian homepage from “Palestinian territories,” to “Palestine” — pushing the idea of Palestinian statehood into unprecedented reaches.

I saw that too. It's totally stupid.
