The world largest search engine Google is being slammed from all corners for deleting the name of Palestine from its Maps and replacing it with Israel.
In a statement released on Friday, reported the Middle East Monitor, the Palestinian Journalists’ Forum condemned Google’s decision to remove Palestine from its maps, calling it “is part of the Israeli scheme to establish its name as a legitimate state for generations to come and abolish Palestine once and for all.”
“The move is also designed to falsify history, geography as well as the Palestinian people’s right to their homeland, and a failed attempt to tamper with the memory of Palestinians and Arabs as well as the world,” the statement added.
The Palestinian Journalist Forum has urged the search engine to restore Palestine map immediately. As of current, there is no Palestine in Google Maps, even when keywords Palestine typed, Google Maps direct you to Jerusalem and Gaza.
