the most used app on my phone! and you stuck together to make sure no one loses their jobs! Good for you guys!
2. Now they can convince Google not to call ISRAEL Palestine...
Estee ,   Jerusalem   (06.11.13)
Google obviously needs a lesson in geography as well as Israeli history.
3. Guess the critics were wrong after all
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (06.11.13)
It was only a few years ago that some critics were bemoaning the absence of leading "social" or crowd-sourced apps coming out of Israel. No Facebook, no Twitter, no YouTube. (As if Israel can do it all...) Well, now we have Waze. If Apple can't have it, then better Google than Facebook. Just keep making the app for iOS.
4. chain reaction

First, Mazal Tov and Great Job! Second, I hope money stay in Israel to invest in other promising startups to create a chain effect.
5. #2. Google is a politically correct company.
Tom W ,   USA   (06.12.13)
Supporting Israel is un-PC according to the apostle of "multikultism": Cultural Marxism rules supreme in the U.S. under Obama(o).
6. To the Waze Guys
R ,   Israel   (06.12.13)
I salute you for looking out for your employees and not abandoning them when so much money was involved. You set a great example. Kol Hakavod!

From the recent revelations about Prism, it seems that Google is a branch of the American NSA. As a branch of the US government, Google takes their orders from Obama.
