Google hack follows West Bank clashes

Google's regional page in Palestine, google.ps was given a makeover by hackers objecting to the label of Israel on Google maps.

The hack involved a message displayed saying "the country in google map not called Israel. It's called Palestine."

The gesture comes a day after three Palestinians were killed by Israeli security forces on the West bank, leading to Palestine cancelling a session of peace talks planned for Monday.
