In honor of Yom Haatzmaut, Israel Independence Day, from IsraelAnswers.com:
Planting the flag on (Google) Earth
Plant the Flag Click the Flag to see Israeli cities marked on Google Earth
If you would like to see Israel with all its communities marked, click on this link. This will tempororily load our points on Google Earth (assuming you already have Google Earth downloaded and installed on your computer). It will do nothing permanent, to your computer, to Google, or to the Earth.
See our page for screenshots of what Google Earth looks like with our points added. Each community is clickable with basic information. We hope to increase the amount of information available over time. [But you only have to download it once.]
Why are we doing this? Our goal is to counter anti-Israel propaganda by providing accurate source material with an accent on the connection between geography and history. Israel is made up of a myriad of people from all over the world and each community reflects the variety that is Israel.
Downloading Google Earth only took a few minutes.
Shlomo Toren is the brainpower behind this project.
