Reality is just too offensive for words

Jews, Outnumbered by Muslims, Suffer Under Mob Rule

JG writes,

And if there were a billion Jews in the Middle East, HarperCollins would never have edited out Israel from its atlas. 

The publisher was recently embarrassed by the revelation (first reported by the British Catholic magazine The Tablet) that it had been selling an atlas "developed specifically for schools in the Middle East," promising "in-depth coverage of the region and its issues" that nonetheless left Israel on the cutting room floor. 

A spokesman for the subsidiary that put out the map told The Tablet that including Israel would be "unacceptable" to their customers in the Persian Gulf and elsewhere. 

And the customer is always right.

Amazing.
