Occupied Jerusalem (ST): In a new crime to forge historical facts and in complete bias towards the Zionist entity, Google and Apple have officially removed Palestine from their world maps and replaced it with Israel in a highly provocative move that has enraged Palestinians, Arabs and social media activists supporting the cause of Palestine.
Member of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization Wasel Abu Yousef said that removing the name of Palestine from Google and Apple came within the framework of the American Israeli Zionist plan to pass the so-called deal of the century and omit the Palestinian existence, stressing that all attempts against the Palestinian people’s rights are doomed to failure. He demanded to try Google and Apple legally because their move runs contrary to the UN resolutions.
Member of the politburo of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine Mahmoud Kalaf said that the move is immoral and contradicts what has been adopted by 138 states in 2012 when the UN General Assembly recognized Palestine as a member state at the international community. He added that this sinister move is related to the clear US bias towards Israel within the framework of the implementation of the ill-famed deal of the century which aims to liquidate the Palestine question.
Member of the Politburo of the Palestinian People’s Party Walid al-Awad said that removing the name of Palestine from Google and Apple is part of the war being launched by Washington and the Zionist entity against the Palestinian existence calling on the international community to support the Palestinian steadfastness and take practical measures to force Google and Apple retreat from this grave crime committed against the Palestinian people.
The move by Google and Apple has prompted Palestinians and others to support the two hashtags of #FreePalestine and #standwithpalestine on Twitter and other social media to express their strong opposition against the offensive move. The two hashtags are now receiving countless comments and tweets.
