HarperCollins has apologized for omitting Israel from an atlas it published in early 2014 for sale in schools in the Middle East. The Collins Primary Geography Atlas for the Middle East is advertised as providing “in-depth coverage of the region and its issues,” including “its socio-economic development and inter-relationships with neighboring regions and the wider world.” On December 31, HarperCollins UK issued an apology stating, “HarperCollins regrets the omission of the name of Israel from their Collins Middle East Atlas. This product has now been removed from sale in all territories and all remaining stock will be pulped. HarperCollins sincerely apologizes for this omission and for any offence caused.” In 2013, Scholastic publishing house erased Israel from a map in the book Thea Stilton and the Blue Scarab Hunt. A lot of people would like to join HarperCollins and Scholastic in removing Israel from the map, but it won’t happen. According to Bible prophecy, Israel’s future holds more trouble before the dawn of Christ’s kingdom, but God put her back in the land and she isn't going away.
