Palestine - Google goes ga ga

The recognition of this new country called "Palestine" by Google - and anyone espousing the same viewpoint - requires them to identify the precise location and area of the land that such country encompasses.

Google itself does not appear to be following its much reported announcement in other spheres of its business.

A search for "Palestine" on Google Maps only provides a map for "Palestinian Territories".

A search for "Palestine" on Google Earth Maps on-line free only reveals the following:

Satellite View of the Palestinian territories: Gaza Strip and West Banks

Satellite View of Palestinian territories using Google Earth Data

Satellite view is showing the Palestinian territories of Gaza Strip which lies on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and the West Bank, a landlocked territory on the west bank of the River Jordan in the Middle East.

Largest city in Gaza Strip is Gaza (City), most populated cities in West Bank are Nablus (135,000), and Hebron (120,000).

Countries with international borders to the Palestinian territories are Egypt, Israel, and Jordan.

A search on Google Images for "Palestine Map 2013" only displayed a map titled "Occupied Palestinian Territory".

Google's left hand does not seem to know what its right hand is doing.

Google's credibility and reliability to provide accurate information is certainly being put to the test as a result of its latest decision.

Perhaps Nathan Tyler can enlighten Google users - because at the present time the situation appears to be very confusing.
