Google Maps Not Displaying Israel Information

Here's an interesting one... Google Maps displays cities and roads information for most countries, including all of them in the middle east, except Israel... Take a look at this map and you'll see what I mean... No Jerusalem, no Haifa, no Tel Aviv... What's going on here? Is this another instance of Google breaking their "Don't Be Evil" rule, just like their censoring of Tienanmen Square pictures and probably many many more? Just as a point of reference, Microsoft shows all the details on their Live Maps...

Some countries are simply not yet available with good data. See also:
