These days the slightest mistake made by a huge company such as Google might cause the biggest scandal.

Two days ago, a few users noticed that the geographic area of the Middle Eastern state it’s not highlighted the right way and the famous mapping service did not use the label “Palestine” to mark the country.

The error caused a madness among the Palestinians, who think that Google did that on purpose.

They claim that the American technology company erased their country from the map just to favor Israel.

Users from all around the world took the social media by storm and suggested that the Palestinian people should consider sabotaging the famous search engine.

The craziest part is the fact that there has never been a ‘Palestine’ label on Google Maps.

“There has never been a ‘Palestine’ label on Google Maps, but we just discovered a bug, which eliminated the labels <<Cisiordania>> and <<Gaza Strip>>. We are trying to put the labels back as soon as possible.”, stated a spokesman for Google.

Naturally, not many were fully aware of what happened. Instead, they chose to post the #PalestineIsHere hashtag everywhere and blame the American software company, just because an incident was not communicated the right way.

Many publications suggested the fact that Google should pay a lot more attention regarding the managing of the mapping service.

Although sometimes these errors are almost impossible to avoid, Google has nothing to do with the fact that people misinterpret the information.
