Google earth offended israel
The Israeli Foreign Ministry has a number of complaints against Google. Firstly, reports AEN , the strategically important objects of the country are recognized on Google Earth maps — the Israel Defense Forces air base can be viewed, the outlines of rocket batteries and hangars can be seen.
Secondly, the comments of users of the service, accompanying navigation in the cities of Judea and Samaria, cause dissatisfaction. According to the government, they are clearly anti-Israeli in nature.
According to TotallyJewish , the satellite images of some localities contain links to photographs that supposedly illustrate the oppression of Palestinians by the Israelis. They are accompanied by explanatory comments. For example, from the map of Ariel, there is a link to a photo of the swimming pool: “The water that the Palestinians were deprived of went to the Israelis for a good cause” - this is the essence of the signature to it.

And on the Hebron snapshots, indicates AEN, depicts soldiers searching the Palestinians. The commentary explains that Israeli soldiers are threatening teenagers with weapons. A picture of one of the Palestinian refugee camps is accompanied by a text stating that the result of the creation of a Jewish state is 11,000 people left without shelter.
Other claims are caused by "inadequate" display of the borders of the territories. “Although Google claims to define state borders in accordance with UN standards, Gaza is still displayed as if it were under Israeli occupation,” TotallyJewish said. “At the same time, Israel transferred this sector to the Palestinian Authority two years ago.” The Golan Heights, according to Google Earth, are altogether attributed to Syria.
The WorldNetDaily.com publication has noticed another distortion in the issuance of a map service. Temple Mount, the main Jewish shrine, was on the Arab side of Jerusalem. This is not true, the newspaper writes, because the monument is located within Israeli sovereignty.
