Those Joos must have acquired sophisticated cloaking technology! :tinfoil
Either that, or google maps is under Iranian control!

I can see my house from here!

I think. I mean, this might be a close-up of the instructions for making some dress, scissor lines and all. It's hard to tell. In which case I think I live in the armpit.

And the Sworn Enemies of Zionism (TM) are loading missiles with anti-perspirant as we speak.

I dunno why that map is so blank, but any right - thinking barbarian horde might jump to the conclusion the whole place is ripe for the taking.
(Albeit the rape & pillage prospects seem poor).

What I find interesting on Google Maps, is that there are no Wikipedia references or user photos inside the West Bank. There are all sorts around it, but zero within it.

I wonder if Israel could request Google Maps to remove the hi-res aerial / satellite imagery, and if so, would Google agree?

I wonder how many areas of the world are blanked out of Gmaps GEarth- and at whose instruction.

What the hell are you guys talking about? Google Earth shows everything in Israel for me, and there's also lots of pics from the West Bank.

Strangely on Windows Local Live Birds Eye View the US Capitol Building and White House are blurred out but CIA headquarters is not.

Frankly I'm not sure what the point is in blurring such stuff, what kind of dangerous information can be distilled from such oblique aerial shots that can be approximated by anyone in a passenger jet with a digital camera?
