Google Maps hat Palästina entfernt, es gibt nur noch Israel.

Publisher’s rating: Der Name Palästina ist noch nie auf Google Maps aufgetaucht. Dies hängt mit der Politik von Google zum Umgang mit umstrittenen Gebieten auf der Welt zusammen, zu denen auch Palästina gehört.

The review says Palestine was not removed from Google Maps: the name “Palästina” had never appeared as a map label. Searching for Palestine shows the Gaza Strip and West Bank, and Google said it had made no changes to their depiction; the review adds that the disputed territories are shown with a dashed gray boundary.

When Labour took power this year, inflation was nearly half where it had been when the Conservatives took power in 2010.

Publisher’s rating: The accuracy of Mr Hunt’s statement depends on how he defines “nearly half”, and which month he is comparing with. Inflation was 3.4% in the month the Conservatives took charge in May 2010, and 3.7% the month before they took charge. The latest figures show that in the party’s last full month in charge inflation was 2.0%.
