Google Helps Palestinians Attack Israel
Palestinian terrorists in Gaza are using Google earth to plot the sites to launch terror attacks against Israel. The terrorists take details of sensitive and strategic areas from the website and then mark them on their maps. In order to prove the point, Khaled Jaabari a commander of the Fatah Al Aksa Brigades showed a newspaper's reporter an aerial image of the town of Sderot from which the sites to fire Kassam rockets at are chosen.
In response to the terrorists using Google earth map to plot terror attacks on Israel, the Israeli government decided NOT to shut off supplies of electricity and fuel to the 'impoverished'.
Google Earth is an amazing tool, but it seems every silver lining must have its dark cloud. In response to the terrorists using Google earth map to plot terror attacks on Israel, Google says they will not block details about Israel and refuses to censor racist and anti-Semitic content.
Is Google anti-semitic? Is Google deliberately placing Jews' lives in danger? After all, isn’t that nice Russian boy Sergei Brin, co-founder of Google himself Jewish?
To make matters worse, this morning Google news deliberately changed the word Israel to Palestine when they wrote, "פרס יהיה הנשיא הפלסטיני הראשון שנואם בבית מחוקקים מוסלמי Peres is the first Palestinian President to give a speech before a Muslim legislature".

'Freedom of Expression' at Google Includes Anti-Semitism

Searching the word “Jew” results in anti-Semitic websites such as Jew Watch.
"Google is not and should not become the central arbiter of what does and does and does not appear on the Web. That's for elected governments and courts to decide," said Google's Israeli director Meir Brand Monday morning at a conference on terrorism and anti-Semitism in Herzliya. "We have a bias in favor of peoples' rights to free expression," he added. He was defending Google's policy of not preventing hate messages from coming through on its search results.
The conference was organized by the Anti Defamation League (ADL), which fights the defamation of Jews. The focus of the discussions was hate on the Internet, something Google has been badly accused of being guilty by consent.
The ADL has struggled for Google to censor its search results because of the many hate sites that can be found though the site. For example, searching the word “Jew” results in anti-Semitic websites such as Jew Watch.
Brand agrees to censor sites only when the law requires it. One such instance was in Germany when Nazi sites needed to be taken off because of German law that bans them.
Brian Marcus, director of Internet monitoring for ADL North America, commented on the complications of the difference between different governments making the censor laws. He cited Russia as an example, saying that officials expressed their desire to go as far as censoring Seventh Day Adventists websites, which they viewed as harmful.
Google alerts Internet users of offensiveness hate websites by posting an explanatory link titled "Offensive Search Results" when the hate sites come up. The explanation says that "…the views expressed by the sites in your results are not in any way endorsed by Google."
One difficulty for governments to regulate websites is that hate sites, especially those backed by terrorist groups, change their website’s URL frequently, making it harder to track them.
Christopher Wolf, chairman of the International Network Against Cyberhate argued, "The law is simply one tool in the toolbox for dealing with hate speech... We [also] need the voluntary cooperation of the Internet industry."
