Google Maps and Israel

I’m not the first person to blog about this, but I find it incredibly strange that Google Maps has no city or road data whatsoever for Israel. Go ahead, try it: go to http://maps.google.com, type in “Israel” or “Jerusalem”, and have a look. There is absolutely no data on cities or roads. It’s clearly not because the data isn’t available – Microsoft Virtual Earth” displays it just fine, and obviously one can find detailed road maps of Israel all over the Web. So what’s up, Google? Why not provide this information? And what’s even stranger, why the same conspicuous lack of information about Argentina???
