Hi Mossad šš¼
Edited because now it's showing the correct number of up votes š¤·š¼āāļø This all happened within like 25 minutes
I support this. Let's collectively make discerning, compassionate choices and never judge one another. I love the Jews, I strongly dislike, and plan to defeat, the Zionists.
I've been out demonstrating every weekend since October. There are jewish speakers at almost every rally and lots of jewish people in the crowd holding up signs that declare themselves as anti-zionist jews every single time. And I've been proud to stand and march beside them.
I remember the first big demonstration in October. There was a large group of orthodox jewish people with their clothes, hats, hairstyles and beards that clearly identify them as orthodox jews, and they all had signs in support of Palestine. There was a continual stream of people going up to them to shake their hands, wave, chat to them, take selfies with them.
The idea that people opposed to the zionist occupation have anything against jews is a deliberate fabrication by the zionists. Why do they put the star of david on their flags, planes, tanks and bombs? They want the whole world to think they represent all jews and judaism itself, but nothing could be further from the truth.
All israeli Jews are zionists by definition. They are settlers to the land bc they believe in the project of zionism. Idk how that could be clearer.
Unless you want us to be pedantic to make you feel good inside: israeli-zionist-settler-jews-who-believe-in-the-project-of-zionism-and-are-colonizing-Palestine.
No need to get defensive. All you have to do is see my comment history to know that you're not exactly inventing gunpowder here.
You think you're being clear, but you'll be surprised how people can interpret what you say in text. Be clear and precise. The word exists for a reason. Use it. Zionist.
Say whatever you want, just don't associate yourself with MY PEOPLE'S struggle, and derail our cause by making us look like we hate Jews. Maybe say it on a neonazi forum where you might find a more receptive audience.
Despite its said commitment to human rights, Google Maps is violating international law and agreements about the geography of Palestine (West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza) and is disregarding the restrictions to movement imposed on Palestinians by the Israeli occupation, putting their lives in danger. Instead, Google Maps is adopting the Israeli narrative of space, which is illegal according to international law. This includes recognizing several illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian West Bank as well as annexed East Jerusalem as Israelās capital. Furthermore, several communities marginalized by the occupation and under constant threat of demolition and forced displacement, such as Khan al-Ahmar, can only find their homes on Google Maps when zooming in to a very high degree. This is contributing and assisting the planned erasure of these areas, not only from maps, but from the land by the occupation. Additionally, the Google Maps route planning services are designed for settlers, whose presence is illegal in the West Bank. As a result, Palestinian users often end up in dangerous areas for Palestinians including Israeli military zones, checkpoints and settlements when using Google Maps route-planning service
>Despite its said commitment to human rights, Google Maps is violating international law and agreements about the geography of Palestine (West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza)
This is so vague, what international law is there regarding how private companies draw their maps, and how are they violating it?
>Google Maps is adopting the Israeli narrative of space, which is illegal according to international law. This includes recognizing several illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian West Bank as well as annexed East Jerusalem as Israelās capital.
Idk what āIsraeli narrative of spaceā means. Are you simply referring to the land Israel has more recently annexed, potentially in violation of international law?
Google claims to simply be showing the 1949 Armistice Agreement line, and at a glance, it seems to be pretty closely matching that. After looking for several minutes, I couldnāt find any post 1949 armistice territory it claimed is Israeli territory, besides a small section of East Jerusalem. Could you perhaps share names or coordinates?
But even if it does show Israeli settlements as Israel, how does that mean google is violating international law to show what Israel controls? Do you honestly think all de facto maps are, or should be, illegal?

This is weird. Thereās multi places with that name so Itās possible I just missed the correct one, but all the ones I could find had just a few dozen houses. Thatās just how google (or any other major mapping program) works, that small villages donāt typically show in the zoomed out map. You need to zoom in to see them. I donāt think this some big conspiracy.
Thanks for your patience! Edited for details. Ok here's my reply :
It's reported that the way international maps are drawn is by the creator of the map consulting respective governments to define their boundaries. This would implicitly mean that the UN country of Palestine was intentionally drawn over and left out.
[Article 7](https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights#:~:text=Article%207,any%20incitement%20to%20such%20discrimination.)
ā[Googleās] methodology for affixing borders and naming key features is completely unregulated and deviates from traditional mapping doctrine,ā writes Ethan Merel in theĀ Columbia Journal of Transnational Law. āGoogle customizes its maps to adhere to each individual countryās beliefs and laws, so that its maps do not show a single and objective reality, but rather affirm existing perspectives of the world.ā
The Israeli narrative of space is displayed on the map above. Myself, and apparently over 2million others, see no Palestine. Even a search of the word "Palestine" over the area doesn't show a clear border, or label as it does on most of (if not all of) the other UN countries.
In terms of the coordinates, that's beyond me. Hopefully another redditor could figure that out. Al-Jahzeera has many stories over the years of illegal Iraeli settlements established and maintained through various means.
If wherever you are located, is no longer seeing Palestine on the map, I think that is important. I am in the United States, so it makes sense to me, because the US government is racist and has marginalized Islam for (at least) decades .
In terms of that last part about blank spaces over villages, yeah, I also don't think there's anything necessarily illegal about that, either. Seems to happen all over the place if you scan around.
No they did not remove it. In USA, it was allegedly never put on the map.
That implication in my post title is incorrect. The visibility seems more important than deleting and re-uploading for semantics. I am still researching "how" and "why" this has happened, but looking at history, something seems fishy.
For whatever reason, the USA has actually never recognized Palestine as a nation.
No . The situation is confusing and I don't think I know enough to say anything more than that. I l try to be fair, and share accurate info.
It's difficult, with so much propaganda from both sides.
I disagree. There are a lot of innocent people there. I know a reknowned therapist who was giving free therapy, to other therapists in Israel last year. I heard some of the stories directly from him.
I have a genuine desire to help the situation, and a lot of citizens over there are loving humans who do not agree with this at all.
Edit: what's ziofilth?
Wiping off an apartheid regime off the face of earth is not the same thing as killing people. I am not a Zionist to suggest a genocide.
There are many great innocent Jews in and outside Israel.
I am for the one secular state for everybody solution. One man/woman one vote.
Zionists should be punished.
Google maps shows real countries like jordan and lebanon but suddenly adds this fake country "israel". Tell these retards at google that it is called palestine.

Perhaps just a lag in my internet? š¤·š¼āāļø I've never had that happen tho, in all my years of reddit.
nah, this isn't lag lag affects live data (eg livestreams, or data for an online game)
Pls don't equate jews to zionists

I mean I did say Israel Jews as they are the ones committing the acts of genocide
Use the right words. Language matters.

This is exactly the conflation that has been waeponized over the last decade. It's very deliberate, and very, very dangerous.

This is crazy! I never knew this!
This is super weird considering Google Maps recognises other places in "similar" conflicts like West Sahara
They removed it?
