This is already the fifth day that the Google Earth Community site is down. And there is no indication as to when it will be up again. In the meantime those millions of placemarks are not accessible.
Therefore I have decided to put my own placemark folders as a mirror on a webpage of my own. There you can download my P. G. Wodehouse, Hyakunin Isshu - 百人一首 (One Hundred Poets in One Hundred Poems), and Het Gein Google Earth folders.
Enjoy!

An impression of a pro-Israel rally in New York.
It is clear that many Jews simply want to 'wipe them all out'. In view of the excessive force used by the Israeli military, that is exactly what they are doing. Nobody can continue to deny that this is an ethnic cleansing and a war crime. How blind and indoctrinated are these people?

LabourNet: "As if the occupation was not enough, the brutal ongoing repression of the Palestinian population, the construction of settlements and the siege of Gaza - now comes the bombardment of the civilian population: men, women, old folks and children. Hundreds of dead, hundreds of injured, overwhelmed hospitals, and the central medicine depot of Gaza bombed. The ship Dignity of the Free Gaza movement which brought emergency medical supplies and a number of physicians was also attacked. Israel has returned to openly committing war crimes, worse than what we have seen in a long time.
Israeli media do not expose their viewers to the horrors and to the voices of severe criticism of these crimes. The story told is uniform. Israeli dissidents are denounced as traitors. Public opinion including that of the Zionist left supports the Israeli policy uncritically and without reservation.
Israel's destructive criminal policy will not cease without a massive intervention by the international community. However, except for some rather weak official condemnation, the international community is reluctant to intervene,. The United States openly supports the Israeli violence and Europe, although voicing some condemnation, is unwilling to seriously consider withdrawing the 'gift' it handed Israel by upgrading its relations with the European Union.
In the past the world knew how to fight criminal policies. The boycott on South Africa was effective, but Israel is handled with kid gloves: its trade relations are flourishing, academic and cultural cooperation continue and intensify with diplomatic support.
This international backing must stop. That is the only way to stop the insatiable Israeli violence.
We are calling on the world to stop Israeli violence and not allow the continuation of the brutal occupation. We call on the world to Condemn and not become an accomplice in Israel's crimes.
Signed by 540 Israeli citizens."
