Terrorists in Gaza have a new tool helping them to fire on innocent civilians living in southern Israel – the popular satellite mapping program Google Earth. A group of terrorists from the Al-Aksa Martyrs' Brigades recently described their use of the program to a reporter for Slate Magazine.
“The technology is always improving,” a terrorist calling himself Abu Saif told journalist Sharon Weinberger. “Our struggle started with the Kalashnikov, and then it moved to the suicide bomb, then the locally made rocket, and now the Grad rocket.”
Gaza's rocket launching crews use Google Earth to aim their weapons, Abu Said said. The program is seen as superior to maps because it is more up-to-date and gives precise locations for potential targets.
Terrorists who spoke to Weinberger said they plan to continue with rocket attacks despite the deployment of the Iron Dome system, which shoots short-range rockets out of the air. “The Israelis are using a lot of money for this defense, but during the last rocket attacks, our rockets made it through,” explained Abu Hamza, a senior Islamic Jihad terrorist.

Google’s in O’s pocket, brain, agenda and artillery.
Thanks for the treachery, Google.
They and the O admin ARE truly Big Brother.
God bless and protect Bibi and Israel!
Terrorists who spoke to Weinberger said they plan to continue with rocket attacks despite the deployment of the Iron Dome system, which shoots short-range rockets out of the air. “The Israelis are using a lot of money for this defense, but during the last rocket attacks, our rockets made it through,” explained Abu Hamza, a senior Islamic Jihad terrorist.Well, what would happen if Israel applied the Dresden, or even Hiroshima, treatment to the source of the rockets? That would fix the problem and eliminate the need to expend Iron Dome rockets on defense.
Sometimes total war is needed.
Meh...20 years ago, they would have boasted the same thing about Rand-McNally helping them. Big deal.
Big talk from guys with small sticks, IYKWIM/AITTYD.
>>> Google Earth’s pictures of Israel are supposed to be too fuzzy to be used for targeting
These aren’t pinpoint missiles. Fuzzily “close” is good enough.
If you have Google Earth, sometime take a look at Norfolk or Pearl Harbor. It’s all there in scarey detail.
And there is no point in getting upset with Google. Satellites have been taking pictures for a couple generations now. Even Iran launched their own first generation system not long ago. If not from google they’d get it from other sources.

That’s Muslims for you. They can take any wonderful technology that the modern world has produced and turn it into something to use for murder.
I hate Islam. It’s evil, but instead of destroying Islam, we are simply retreating and punishing ourselves by limiting or prohibiting the use of technology for anyone lest the Muslims employ it for their usual destructive purposes. This is what has turned routine air travel into a nightmare.
And eventually they'll get their hands on nukes, given to them by Iran or Pakistan, etc. Then what? Will we act before then? Doesn't look like it.
Google obviously plans these for targeting of Israel
and America.
Shame on the owners of Google.
makes sense for a group that considers as enemy targets, schools, daycare centers, synagogues, shopping places
Thank God for the IDF. They can and will protect Israel until we can vote our own terrorists out of office.
The rockets are pointed and then hope guides them. The Hamas rockets are pretty much ineffective except as weapons to enhance anxiety and terror.
The use of Google earth to find targets is thus a joke.

Total war is always needed, Less than total is not war, it is appeasement

There goes one of those “millionaires and billionaires” that the right keeps wanting to protect.
I am starting to think that these mega rich folks think that they are going to be spared by king obama when things collapse...
Pathetic! Google is just like GE and the media....crony capitalist fascists. It’s really scary how low they have sunk since Obama took office.
Better dying through technology.
Israel went from the seltzer bottle from the small plane to the French Mirage to the F14 to the F16, and from bombs to missiles more precise missiles to super-precise missiles and always aimed exclusively at military targets.
