Subject: Monopoly City Street

Israel is like North Korea, China and Cuba where there they don't let in any foreigners so there's no data for maps availaible.

But Israel is not in OpenMaps database. Dunno the reason.

Israel IS on many maps including GoogleEarth. This is a rubbish excuse.

This Monopoly company is a hypocrite like many other companies, happy to do business with/in Israel, but openly not admitting it or even the existence of Israel. Shameful!

yeah, that's pretty much what the rest of the world is doing most of the time. Thinking about how israel doesn't exist. We're ashamed of ourselves.

I think it might have something to do with not wanting ppl from arab countries owning all the israeli streets in monopoly and then israeli's coming in, claiming they have no right of ownership because the country belongs to them. The racial slurs would be coming in so hard and fast, it's better to save the mods the trouble. Sensible solution.

Only weeks ago Siemens acquired Solel of Israel, a high-tech solar power generation firm for $418m. Nowhere in the Siemens reports about the acquisition or the origin of the acquired company it says Israel, although everyone in that industry knows that Israeli technology.

Here in Sokker, many Israeli users have Arab players and no Israeli manager thinks differently of them compared to Polish, Italian or Belgian players. If the problem exists for any Arab managers, then they should deal with that and not the Israelis. This is the same in the real world like in the Olympics for instance, where many Arab athletes chose to, or are ordered by their government to avoid competing with Israeli athletes, even at the cost of premature elimination.

Anyone that buys into this kind of behaviour, be it athletes, governments or online game mods should be ashamed of themselves.

well, we're talking about a game. it's only a game.

+ as we don't know the reasons behind that decision, it's useless to argue

1. We're not arguing but having a discussion.
2. We're discussing a phenomena which is important and annoying, let alone immoral.
3. I doubt whether we "don't know the reason behind that decision"... or should I post a picture of a spade here?

I know a good solution: the arabs are wrong and the israeli's (or jews) are wrong too, because in a war no one is right...

go ontopic instead of producing this nationalistic rubbish...

1.Arguing and having a discussion is the same.
2.Provided that there's intend, you're right, but we can't be sure though.
3.See 2.

luut more or less answered your post

(my two pence: i really lack time to + don't feel like informing myself whether it's an ''important phenomena'' on the web, that silly browser games leave out israel on the map. if they do so, i don't support that. but i tend to ask people why they do things, that i don't understand, before i judge them and start a duscussion about it.)

back on topic: okay, now the community knows, that your personal opinion about this game is a very low one. but it's not the right thread to thread the whole story behind that out once again. if you don't like the game, just leave it be..

ed:that should be "luuut" - sry

I haven't heard of any other online games which leave out Israel on intend. Examples?

not admitting the existence of Israel.

Please stop your nationalistic façade in here, against the big bad world ... There is no other country in the world that gets away with all the things your country does !!

(But maybe you are a bit stupid to understand why some games don't want to burn their hands on this issue. Or the gamemakers want to make a point, a good point :))

You're stupid because this topic is about a game, not your hate against Israel.

I know, I'm buying streets in Utrecht, and bought Herculesplein :D

i don't know if it's their choise
I know that sokker location had a "clean" map like this in the past and now the map is even in hebrew
It was a matter of google and greg told me how to tell them about the bug
seems that the "clean" old maps are still in use
