This decision clearly sparked protests from sharing parties, one of which is the Palestinian Journalists Forum. In a statement, Google's decision is part of a scheme called Israel retained the name of his country.
In that way, according to them, taken at the same time to affirm the presence of Israel for the next generation, as well as to remove the Palestinians forever.
