An Israeli town is suing Internet giant Google after surprised municipal officials discovered Google Earth, the popular, user-driven satellite map, labels their city as stolen Palestinian land.
"The label is simply complete nonsense," Yossi Ben-Artzi, a history professor at Israel's Haifa University told Yediot Ahronot, Israel's leading daily. "Kiryat Yam was built on sand dunes, and there wasn't any Palestinian village in the area. The lands were bought in 1939 by the Gav Yam construction company." This is not the first time Google Earth drew controversy alleging pro-Palestinian bias. WND reported last year while Jerusalem serves as Israel's capital, and the Temple Mount is located within Israeli sovereignty, Google Earth divides the city and places the Mount – Judaism's holiest site – within Palestinian territory. Interactive Google Earth maps still mark eastern sections of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount as "occupied territory," set to become part of a future Palestinian state
Do you think Israel should sue Google Earth? Why would google do this?
All of Isreal is stolen Palestinian land. Get used to it.
Reply:THis wouldn't even be a problem if they weren't so busy playing Muslim Vs. Jew...
Holy wars are stupid. Death over speculation... real nice.
From your point of view, can you at least see why a small number of us (atheists) lean toward antitheism? If there was no religious difference between them, I doubt they'd have fought about that in the first place.
Reply:It is wrong, for Google is God!

Reply:no thats ridiculous...people need to quit suing over dumb stuff
Reply:Maybe we should all boycott Google. This is evil. The alternative: get all people that are friendly towards Israel to send letters to google.
A mass mail campaing might frustrate them enough to stop this nonsense. If you get a website up with someone to coordinate this effort, I'll gladly add my name to a mass mail list to protest this company.
Good luck!
Reply:I totally agree with you - and thank you for telling us about this!
I think we all have to complain to Google, so that they know they can't get away with this.
There was NEVER a COUNTRY called Palestine - it was a REGION.
~The Palestinian Jews, who had always lived there, were given a tiny sliver of land, that is Israel. Israel = 0.01% of the entire middle east.
But 80% of Palestine was given to the Palestinian Arabs - it's called JORDAN.
It was the Arabs that rejected any notion of a tiny democratic Jewish state in the region.
Petition to Google, anyone?
Reply:no
Reply:Yes Israel should sue. Stupid remarks like that only add fuel to the fire. It's like no one has a clue what the truth is any more. If there's a petition, let me know. I'll sign.
God Bless.
Reply:I know! Israel is God's land. Israel is a gift from God and the United States of America will continue to support Israel no matter how many Palestinians they kill. We might even bomb Iran for them!
