Google Street View Gets Israeli Government's Nod
hypnosec writes "Israel's Justice Ministry has decided to give its approval to Google's Street View services to feature 360 degree images of the country's streets, according to a new, confirmed report. The ministry also assured that Tel Aviv's Law, Information and Technology Authority will cause no worries for Google from now on when it comes to deploying its sophisticated photography equipment in the streets, as well as in posting the photographs taken on its map service."

Israel is as secure as possible.
Your country is as paranoid as possible.
Big difference.
Google already has a map of israel with names of the streets. The disputed areas are beyond the green line and google will probably not go there at all.
What donations? Oh, you mean the donations that could have been made but for which there is no evidence, and whose existence or otherwise is nothing to do with the original article? Maybe that's why no-one has mentioned it. Besides you. Does that make you a nobody? Perhaps it does.
This restriction boggles my mind for a free country.
What AIPAC wants, AIPAC gets.
Thanks to the War on Drugs, it's easier to buy meth than it is to buy cold medicine!
