Google Maps showing Palestine completely wiped off the map. A short-term troll, or a signal of a long-term change?

From 2016:

Condemnation leads to outrage about Google ‘removing’ country from map – but the country has never been labelled on the mapping service

Thank you for this! I was never sure if it had ever been there before or if this was something new. I feel less out of the loop now. A friend brought it to my attention and was of the belief this was new - clearly it isn't.

Did Google used to show Palestine on their maps?

Thanks for sharing. I poked around a bit there on the map and saw this .

People are disgusting, choosing fashion over God and Jesus. It is the same everywhere, but I guess it seems worse that it is there.

So many sheep, so many people asleep. :(
