Google deletes Hamas ad

An update of this story from Ynet News, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

Google has removed the Hamas-funded advertisement that linked to the website of the terror organization's military wing Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, following Ynet’s inquiry into the matter.

Internet surfers who entered the word “Hamas” in Arabic in the Google search engine, viewed, in addition to the search results, an AdWord message that linked directly to the website of the organization’s military faction Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades....

Google Spokeswoman Debbie Frost said the advertisement was a breach of the search engine’s policy and was therefore removed.

Sergei, get on the stick. Do what your parents want, or Lev Landau would have wanted.
