Google replaces 'Palestinian Territories' with 'Palestine'

The change went into effect om May 1, Google spokesman Nathan Tyler said.

Google have updated the tagline of their Palestinian webpage from Palestinian Territories to Palestine.

The modification on May 1 signalled a significant triumph for the Palestinian Authority, which has been campaigning for recognition as an independent state rather than Israeli occupied territories for several years.

"This is a virtual victory for Palestine - a step in the right direction that has to be followed by others, including Google Maps and Google Earth," said Sabri Saidam, IT consultant to Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas.

What Comes Next After Suicide? The Truth No One Wants to Talk About

What Comes Next After Suicide? The Truth No One Wants to Talk About Suicide is often presented as an escape — a way to finally “rest in peace.” But the painful reality is this: it is not the end of suffering. It is only the beginning of eternal suffering. Many people who take their own lives do so out of deep pain, desperation, or ignorance. They believe death will bring relief. But according to the Bible and the spiritual order of things, suicide is the murder of a life you did not create — a precious gift handed to you by God Himself. You become both a thief and a murderer in that moment. And just like any other serious crime, there will be judgment. There Is No “Rest in Peace” in Suicide The idea that suicide leads to peaceful rest is a dangerous lie. Instead of peace, the spirit of a person who commits suicide faces eternal torment in hellfire — a suffering without end and without remedy. No matter how heavy your struggles are right now — whether it’s depression, heartbreak, financ...

I Hated The Lord’s Chosen With Passion… Until God Delivered Me inThe Lord's chosen From Lesbianism, Smoking & Suicide Sister Elizabeth used to say the The Lord's Chosen was 'boring.'  She didn't know that her hatred for the truth was leading her into a trap that almost cost her her soul and her life. Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep in sin or how much you resist God, His mercy can still reach and transform you.

In her first year, she became friends with two girls — one a heavy smoker and the other into lesbianism. Burdened by worries, uncertainty, and hopelessness over her credentials, she gave in to tem...

Magician and Ex-Muslim Scholar Meets Jesus in Dreams & Survives Death Sentence | Powerful Testimony

Image
Brother Moses Chosen (a new name he chose to be called) is from Taraba State in the North East Region of Nigeria. He was not just a Muslim — he was an Islamic scholar and a magician with deep knowledge of both. During a Talim session, the Islamic teacher taught that the prophet who would save people in the last days was sinless, and concluded it was Prophet Muhammad. Brother Moses immediately doubted this. He had read in Islamic books that Muhammad sinned against “Allah”. He strongly refuted the claim by citing Quranic verses showing Muhammad’s sins, which led to “Allah” afflicting him and causing his death. He also mentioned that on his deathbed, Muhammad told his daughter Fatimah that even he did not know where he was going, and advised people to live according to their conscience. When the teacher claimed Muhammad had reconciled with Allah, Moses disagreed, saying nothing like that was recorded — only his sins and death were mentioned. Moses then boldly declared before about 200 Mus...
