* Virtual Israel, as represented by Google Earth, is littered with orange dots, many of which claim to represent "Palestinian localities evacuated and destroyed after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war." Thus, Israel is depicted as a state born out of colonial conquest rather than the return of a people from exile. Each dot links to the "Palestine Remembered" site, where further information advancing this narrative can be obtained.

* Many of the claims staked out in Google Earth present misinformation, and sites known to be ruins in 1946 are claimed to be villages destroyed in 1948. Arab villages which still exist today are listed as sites of destruction. The Google Earth initiative is not only creating a virtual Palestine, it is creating a falsification of history.

* The concept of "replacement geography" replaces the historical connection of one people to the land with a connection between another people and the land. The inclusion of virtual Palestine, superimposed on Israel in the core layer of Google Earth, is an example of replacement geography advanced by technology.

* Those wishing to explore Israel in Google Earth are immediately taken to a politically motivated narrative unrelated to their quest. Google should remove the narrative and treat Israel as it treats every other country on the globe. The core layer of Google Earth should be ideology free and not serve as a platform for indoctrination or a campaign to wipe Israel off the virtual map.

And Israel is the only nation on earth where this kind of attack, and on this level, is not only allowed, but applauded by almost every nation on earth.

Jerusalem is the historic capitol of Israel, dating back thousands of years. Few nations on earth can claim this - yet Israel is forced to deny this right before the UN.

This goes to show us that what the Torah says is really true.

Welcome to FR

"Israel is depicted as a state born out of colonial conquest"
"misinformation"
falsification of history"
"replacement geography"
"politically motivated narrative"
"platform for indoctrination"
"wipe Israel off the virtual map"

Different century,different decade,different year but the voice still sounds the same.

"...all the kingdoms of the world...all this power...is delivered unto me and to whomsoever I will I give it." (Luke 4:5,6)

Muzzies on the move on all fronts. We have misunderestimated our enemy in many things and the propaganda front is one of the worst.

“not serve as a platform for indoctrination or a campaign to wipe Israel off the virtual map.”

Have you seen maps.google.com? Israel and the West Bank are completely blank!

google is made up of liberal/socialist/progressive/communist/democrat/marxist/stalinist/fascist who hate traditional America and our Judeo/Christian traditions. Their employees gave well over 90% to democrats in previous elections.

Why do any Jews support Democratic candidates?
