We Reject World Map (#WeRejectWorldMap) started trending on Twitter as tech giants Google and Apple both allegedly removed Palestine from the world map on their apps causing uproar in the Muslim world.

People on Twitter started voicing their concern over the illegal occupation of Palestine using different Hashtags like #FreePalestine, #Palestine and #Israel.

Google itself responded saying that their Google Maps never had Palestine listed a country on the world map saying, “There has never been a ‘Palestine’ label on Google Maps, however, we discovered a bug that removed the labels for ‘West Bank’ and ‘Gaza Strip”.
