Google already has a map of israel with names of the streets. The disputed areas are beyond the green line and google will probably not go there at all.

And why would google waste billions of dollar just to add israel to streetView? What benefit is there for google?

Knowing how the street looks is not really an issue for a would be attacker. They know where the crowded places are, and information on bus (a primary target) movement and schedule is available online. so this is not much of risk, and not enough to disallow the street view. I would be less surprised to see it banned for privacy reasons that for security reasons.

Or you could just use chrome with click-to-play (go to about:flags and enable it) and the do not allow javascript setting and put trusted sites in exceptions list. Or you could use NoScripts for more control but i would rather not install any add-on's either. Or you could use the incognito mode as your general browsing browser due to all plugins and extensions are disabled and all your info is deleted so no chance of malicious site getting the info. I see absolutely no reason to have 2 browsers.

do you have any site (not netflix as i am not a us citizen) that shows h.264 video so i can check?

chrome just uses the google brand name, adds propriety pdf and flash plugins (in the past it also added h.264 support, but not anymore), and has all those usage recording and sending options.
