I don't know if this story has made it to the American news, but Harper Collins omitted Israel from its maps that it's selling in the Arab world: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2892629/Israel-omitted-HarperCollins-atlas-including-country-unacceptable-customers.html I have written to Erin Crum, their VP of Corporate Communications ([email protected]) to indicate my outrage. I told them that I had always considered their books to be vetted for the highest standards of accuracy. However, given that they're willing to fill their books with lies in order to pander to a given audience, I have to wonder what other lies they have allowed to enter their books. As a librarian, I would have to reconsider whether I would continue to buy their publications. I think we should all take a moment to express our indignation at this blatant attempt to obliterate Israel from the map. Diane Romm
