I am beginning to think I should get out of all things google related... Unfortunately google is becoming such a big presence in technology that they will have monopoly power {if they don't have it already}. I use gmail and google search a lot... It will be difficult to replace them but I am beginning to think that Jews should boycot google... Also google news is obviously biased towards arabs and so-called palestinians... I recently posted about how 4/5 news stories on Israel are anti-Israel and anti-zionists...

Google To Invest Millions in Palestinian Tech Industry Google To Invest Millions in Palestine
Posted on Dec 18th, 2010 by Courtney Boyd Myers
Earlier this month, Google sent a team to the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank to meet with local entrepreneurs and techies. As reported by a local tech blog, Google’s team has taken multiple trips to Palestine for meetings and to host events and workshops. Yesterday, December 17 2010, Gisel Hiscock, Google’s Director of New Business Development for Europe Middle East and Africa, confirmed this investment with the following update on her Facebook profile.
Google’s interest in the area coupled with such a large investment is an incredible boost to an area of the world that is notably stricken with violence and tragedy. Approximately 2.4 million Palestinians live in the West Bank and another 1.4 million live in the Gaza Strip.
The news follows Google’s recent $10 million agreement with Jordan that includes a 2.5 million dollar investment into the Kingdom’s local tech sector. In Jordan, Google will provide intensive training to local techies in online marketing and how to make their web content more user-friendly.

They have a tech industry?

I was wondering this too?

One thing we can hope for is that Jordan uses that school to provide tuition-free education to all balastinians with free dormitory for every student's family.
And say Amen!

It is a terrible tragedy to see all the free help that is provided to these Nazi worthless losers - money, weapons, food, electricity, medicine, technology... Especially when it is provided by Jews. As Chaim puts it, there is unfortunately no dumber people than the Jewish people when it comes to self-survival. All the help provided by Jews to Muslim Nazis is a very serious Chillul HaShem and I am always very afraid of the punishment that our people could receive as a consequence.

We shouldn't give them anything since they don't even pay a penny for it anyway.
No free water, no free electricity, no free food, no free nothing.

This would be rather difficult as I depend on gmail for business and personal use. Overall, as a moral boycott I would be skeptical that it would mean anything to google, we're a drop in the bucket.

Bing isn't bad as an alternative search engine to google, and Yahoo email is very good too. I personally am going to get a private domain and email hosting, it's only $50 a year at Godaddy, and then you have no advertisers scanning your email to target adverts at you.
"Palestinian tech"? Is google investing in bomb belts now?
