Would you believe that one of the world's largest publishers, HarperCollins (it bought out Zondervan), has not included the nation of Israel in atlases sold to schools in the Middle East? Take a read of, 'Israel missing from HarperCollins atlases sold to Middle East schools'.
This seems to be political correctness in the extreme with one branch of HarperCollins responding: 'Collins Bartholomew, a subsidiary of HarperCollins that specialises in maps, told the Tablet that it would have been "unacceptable" to include Israel in atlases intended for the Middle East. They had deleted Israel to satisfy "local preferences"'.
