These types of tweets resurface every other year

NO, Palestine was NOT removed from Google maps today, someone decided to NOT factcheck and reduce the gravity of the issue

The awful truth is:
IT NEVER WAS ON GOOGLE MAPS TO BEGIN WITH

Which is the REAL EXTENT of the problem

In 2016, when the same tweets went viral- suggesting that Palestine was removed from Google maps that day

A Google spokeswoman said: “There has never been a ‘Palestine’ label on Google Maps

Take that in..Never.

In 2018, 137 countries stated that they recognised Palestine as a state. However the US and most western countries did not

In 2016, 250,000 people signed a petition to place Palestine on the map yet nothing happened

Maps have an important role in developing national consciousness.

Now that we have spread awareness on this issue, we can’t repeat 2016. We need our voices to be louder this time, we need to spread the right information:

PALESTINE HAS NEVER BEEN ON GOOGLE MAPS.

Now get angry
