Political correctness... Sometimes I run across an instance of progressive (it's always progressives!) political correctness that just leaves me with my mouth gaping. Here's another one: a major publisher (Harper Collins) prints an atlas with Israel simply left out. It shows Jordan and Syria extending all the way to the Mediterranean.
I always thought the entire idea of an atlas was to graphically depict reality. The current reality is, undeniably, that Israel exists. That reality really doesn't seem likely to change anytime soon.
Somewhere George Orwell is laughing...
