The original poster described this as a "grand post". However, I see it more as an act of cartographic vandalism. It is now not possible to browse around Israel with the entire "Google Earth Community" layer turned on without having the map cluttered with numerous distracting placemarks. And while the poster makes pretences of having no political agenda, it is abundantly clear that this is not the case. Until such time as the original post is deleted (and I'm not holding my breath), my suggestion to remedy this situation is to turn off the "History Illustrated" sublayer (rather than the entire "Google Earth Community" layer) while browsing around Israel.
