[governance] And yet Google again: Online petition against GoogleMaps

[Teresa Nacli-Napoli]

Just a smart way to change history, they are doing this for years with no complains. How about the Golan Heights that belongs to Syria and they show as Israeli land?

 They should say OCCUPATION and Israel is not  complying with 
 UN resolution 242 since 1967 .

Strange... for us here in BR it had always been the Persian Gulf, and
continues to be so. How did this change happen?
