Palestinian Arab journalists protested over the weekend that Google removed the “Palestine” tag from its maps application, but the web giant says it never had a Palestine tag on its maps to begin with, Haaretz reported on Thursday.
The journalists saw the removal of the name “Palestine” as a part of an Israeli plan to dismiss the existence of a Palestinian entity. A campaign was mounted on Twitter under the #PalestineIsHere hashtag, according to the newspaper.
