Sounds like they're sorry because they got found out"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Of course I believe Israel exists. Does leaving it off a map somehow make it suddenly vanish? Definitely not. Is the legitimacy of Israel's existence actually threatened by leaving it off a map (let alone for people that have been erasing it anyway)? I don't see how. As far as the publishing company goes, I'm not sure I see much of a difference between what they did and what faith-based publishing companies do for Christian school textbooks. We don't hold publishing companies accountable for whatever other nonsense the books they put out might contain. There's certainly been no public outcry against publishing companies that put out atheist literature. The only thing special here (afaict) is that it's Israel being 'threatened'.
Especially when said company admitted leaving it off to make more sales.
Gonna put in my order for an atlas that leaves Oregon off! My preference must not be denied!

It's actually not that different to how Google shows different borders for Crimea on Google Maps if you're in say Russia compared to USA.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostIMHO it shows that claiming that Israel has no right to exist is a legitimate view. After all if such a respectable Western publishing house can essentially deny their existence then there must be something to it.

Mind you, I think that's just as true for Google, et al."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
