Like the other Silicon Valley monopolies,
Google habitually takes the side of Israeli occupation and war crimes
in Palestine – the very term Palestine is not used by their highly
influential maps app.
A new report by a Palestinian human rights group last month exposed the depths of Google’s dedication to the Israeli occupation.
With a known history documented back more
than 3,200 years, the name “Palestine” is the only term continuously
used for the entire territory of the country lying between the Jordan
River and the Mediterranean Sea.
Palestine is the most historically accurate term. But since 1948,
when Zionist militias expelled the majority of the Palestinian
population from the country by force, a new state, “Israel”, was
established.
That state has never declared its borders.
Consequentially, when speaking about
“Israel” it is unclear exactly what territory is being referred to. But
Zionists of both the right and the “left” commonly claim the entire
historic territory of Palestine as the “Land of Israel.”
The new report, by 7amleh
(Hamleh), a Palestinian organisation advocating online rights, details
how Google seems to almost go out of its way to eradicate the reality of
Palestinian life.
In 2016, Google came under fire from Palestinians on social media
when the terms “West Bank” and “Gaza” disappeared from Google Maps.
Google said that the removal of these terms was down to a glitch and
that they had never used the word Palestine in the first place.
