PA searching for alternative to Google after Palestine 'removed' from map
2020-07-20
Not actually removed, since Google says it was never there. But go for it, guys.
[Jpost] Since the post went viral, the communications minister has said that it was reason enough to find an alternate search engine for the PA.
Netscape Navigator?
The Paleostinian Authority's communications minister has reportedly announced that the government is searching for an alternative to Google after reports claimed that the famous tech giant removed Paleostine from its map application.

However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
these posts were found to be misleading and the original Instagram post, which led to the international outrage, has since made an addition at the bottom of the post stating that it contains "false information."

"THIS POST CONTAINS FALSE INFORMATION AS PALESTINE WAS *NEVER* PUT ON WORLDWIDE MAPS," said Instagram user astagfirolah

[UPDATE]: THIS POST CONTAINS FALSE INFORMATION AS PALESTINE WAS *NEVER* PUT ON WORLDWIDE MAPS. However we have to spread awareness on this issue. Because maps develop to our national consciousness. We NEED our voices to be louder this time. Use your voice. Use your power. This is a revolutionary year, and we will fight for the needed change to bring Palestine on the maps. #FreePalestine

However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
