So it wouldn't be honest to label Google with > being "anti-Semite". Companies like google should not go public with "non-policy" websites. Besides, a) several people have told me that in the past Analytics allowed the choice of Israel so this has apparently been removed on purpose. b) Palestinian territory was never included in any "stock" country list I found on the web when creating a website. > > And for the record, Google employs several Israelis and Jews, have an Israeli > office, and have set up the http://www.google.co.il/ localised portal.

I would be happy if they included Israel and deleted Palestinian Territory I would be ecstatic if they included Israel and refused to include terrorist states. > > > I suggest everyone write an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > complaining about this injustice. > > > > I have signed up for Google analytics, and once I will be able to register, I > see if the problem you mentioned still persists, and if so will write them a > polite letter asking them to correct it.

If you think that it is improper for them not to include Israel, I still suggest you write an email.
