How do I know? Well lets think- can I ever remember a time where I wrote something and it erased itself? nope. I guess that means that someone erased it on purpose. > > > b) Palestinian territory was never included in any "stock" country > > list I found on the web when creating a website. > > Uh, unfortunately for you, this is also a mistake on your side.

No offense, but if you are going to ask Google to put Israel in it's list of timezones, countries, and territories by virtue the fact that we have our own DST then you've pretty much missed the boat already. You have a Country that is being ignored, most likely on purpose, and you would be happy with a timezone :( > > > And for the record, Google employs several Israelis and Jews, have an > > > Israeli > > > office, and have set up the http://www.google.co.il/ localised portal So > > > it > > > would be a stretch to say they are anti-Israeli. > > > > As I've told others, unfortunately I know many anti-semetic Jews. > > In any case, my point is that google has taken a side in our little > > conflict and I don't believe it to be a valid one. > > Whoa!

Again- it's a good thing you're not a google employee otherwise it would probably just say Palestine in their list. If I were an employee of Google, I would quit over this. In addition, I've since been sent various links pointing to other cases where Google has taken what I would call the wrong side. There have been several occasions when Google approved terrorist propaganda machines as news sources for google news. There have also been cases where Google served paid advertisements for the Hamas(apparently that made ynet). You can keep patting Google on the back for all the evil they aren't doing but I personally think they need to be a little more responsible. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=20054&only http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=19937&only http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2006/04/the_evil_that_g.html yonah > > You could also comment on and digg the story: > > http://digg.com/links/Google_Supports_Terrorism > > Actually I'm going to do it right now.
