Breaking News: Scholastic Conquers Israel for Islam<\/span><\/p>\n

Arab textbooks are not the only ones erasing Israel from their maps. Scholastic, the world\u2019s largest publisher of children\u2019s books, has also eliminated the Jewish state in a book.<\/p>\n

“Thea Stilton and the Blue Scarab Hunt,” part of the popular Geronimo Stilton children\u2019s series translated from Italian and published by Scholastic in 2012, tells the story of a group of investigative journalists involved in a treasure hunt in Egypt.<\/p>\n

The story commences with a map of modern Egypt and its neighboring countries. While Sudan, Libya and Saudi Arabia appear clearly on the map, the territory of Israel is completely covered by Jordan, painted red. A line indicating the Israeli border with the Sinai Peninsula does appear in the book.<\/p>\n

Interesting how it’s always Israel that gets left out, if a country’s going to get “overlooked,” eh? In all fairness, though, they also gave Gaza and the West Bank to the Jordanians.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"But maybe Scholastic actually intended to conquer Jordan for the Jews…then tacked the wrong name on the new territory. Well, they’ll be returning Israel to the Jews in a new version<\/a>. It’d be pretty funny if… Nah, don’t even bother dreaming on. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Scholastic and its workmanship are taking a pounding on Amazon:<\/p>\n
