Hell no! http://img0.joyreactor.com/pics/post/comics-google-facebook-245504.jpeg But in this specific case, Google is not entirely in the wrong re Palestine. It *is* a disputed area, and Google cannot satisfy everyone no matter what they do. If you search for "Palestine" in Google Maps, you get a map which (at least in Australia) clearly shows the West Bank and Gaza Strip as disputed territories: https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Palestine/ More here: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/aug/10/google-maps-accused-remove-palestine http://opennews.kzhu.io/map-disputes/?_ga=1.48243875.420098949.1397702661 > Ok you didn't suggest to use gmail (ie google) specifically > > So what do you suggest to people (like myself) who’s primary email is > gmail and are incensed with such actions?? Whatever you do, don't use Yahoo Mail or AOL unless there is *absolutely* no other alternative. They are actively hostile to mailing lists and even worse for good email practice than Gmail. I don't know about others, but most ISPs in Australia offer at least one email address per customer. So although there aren't many *great* alternatives to Gmail, there are some good and so-so alternatives: * run your own mail server (easy enough that I can do it) * your work or school email * your ISP email * Outlook.Com (Hotmail) -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
