Washington: Publishing giant Harper Collins, a subsidiary of NewsCorp, has been selling an atlas in Middle Eastern schools claiming to give an “in-depth coverage of the region and its issues” wherein the name Israel does not appear at all.
The atlas included Syria, Jordan and even Gaza but the word Israel was not mentioned even once, reported Fox News.
Haper Collins’ Facebook page said on Wednesday that it regretted the omission of the name Israel from its Middle East atlas.
The company also apologized on its page for any offense it caused to anyone.
One of the reviewers wrote that it was horrifying how Harper Collins could not recognize the existence of Israel.
