Apple recognizes Palestine

From Scott Roth’s twitter feed, ‏@scottroth76, here are four tweets from last night:

Check it out. If you have an iPhone go to wx app and type in East Jerusalem, Nablus etc. See what it says. When did this start? Anyone?

The native weather app on the iPhone now lists major Palestinian cities in the WB as Palestine, no longer as WB. Even E. Jerusalem! Bravo!

The flip side, type Jerusalem and it says Israel. Before it didn’t list a country. It was just *Jerusalem*.

Which Israeli representative is yelling at [Apple ceo] Tim Cook right now?

Interesting. But it should say “West Jerusalem, Israel” and “Jerusalem, Israel or Palestine”. Tell ’em, OK?

YEAH!

Interesting. The weather app is powered by Yahoo.

I checked out EJ, Ram Allah and Nablus and they’re all coming up as Palestine.

Apple has more net worth than most countries on Earth so they can tell israeli lobby to jump in a lake

It’s truly amazing what a difference random acts of truth make.
