Google.ps, which has been a thing for quite some time, has created a huge stir in Israel today when the logo for their English-language version was switched from “Google – Palestinian Territories” to simply “Google Palestine.”
Google officials say the change simply reflects the changes by ICANN and ISO, as well as the UN’s recognition of Palestine as a “non-member observer state.” The announcement was met as a “step in the right direction” by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The Palestinian Authority had apparently requested the change from Google as well.
Israeli officials are nowhere near so keen on this, insisting that Google’s name “pre-judges” the outcome of any future peace talks on Palestinian statehood by assuming the Palestinians will ever actually get a state.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry also issued a statement accusing Google of meddling in international politics, adding that in their view Google is taking a “controversial side” in the naming. Though since ICANN recognizes “.ps” tlds are belonging to Palestine now, not changing it also seems to be controversial.
It's actually humorous to see the little self-chosen ones having another of their oh so predictable temper tantrums over this. I guess they have no choice but to drop napalm or white phosphorous on the Gaza concentration camp once again. Perhaps they will wait until they see how many IAF planes Assad will knock out of the sky from today's airstrike into Syria.
I am still fuming at the creation of the chi**y little state. Google or no google, historical Palestine is always there and the day will come when it will emerge from the decaying zionist carcass.
In a press release today Hamas stated that "all people are created equal. They are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights; among these, life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In order to secure these rights, governments are instituted among people deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
The Israeli response was swift and furious that these words threatened the security of the Jewish state and would be viewed as a provocation…
Telling the truth will always hurt the mind and heart of liars , the thieves, the fraudulent governments of Israel.., and others.
What isthe problem for Isreal. Have they not accepted billions when they stated they supported the road map to peace. The road map is the estbilishment of a two state solution.
I feel if Isreal feels that if they cannot support an independant Palestine then they should retun the billion. Israel is free to state their ground but please stop bleeding the USA.
cry us a river zios
As always: "The Maps tell the true story". Check it out !
The zionist is trying to stave off the inevitable time is fast approaching that even america`s veto and money would not help.
The Zionist entity best be careful. Giggle just may be more powerful than the entity thinks it is.
The whole area known as Israel should be referred to as Palestine.
The only reason that Israel is upset by "premature" recognition of Palestine is because Israel intends to never permit a Palestine to come into existence. A woman planning an abortion doesn't want everyone pointing out her "baby bump".
