A rally of Jewish leaders took Thursday aim at Target stores in New York for selling a globe that omits the name Israel but instead labels the region Palestine.
«It is a very serious thing, its not just a little mistake, we’re seeing companies kowtowing to people who live in tyrannical governments who are trying to dictate policy here and dictate how people think and feel», said Rabbi Gary Moskowitz,
He led the rally at Zuccotti Park on Liberty Street and Trinity Place in downtown Manhattan.
«We’re fighting ‘global war on terrorism,’ and in this global war we have to ‘target’ the people who are coming against us», said Moskowitz. «I hope Target did this in error.. and they must have a recall of all these globes».
In a statement, a Target spokeswoman said: «It is never our intention to offend any of our guests and we apologize. We have removed the mini-globe from our shelves, and we are following up with our vendor».
They went on to say that, «The country is labeled on a key on the mini-globe; however, the important issue is that we are no longer selling this product in our stores and we are sorry for offending our guests».

My comment:
The International community now sides with the Arab World, represented by the notorious anti-Semitic Arab League. Like the Ayatollah of Iran, Israel is going to be «omitted».
The book store in New York city quickly decided to remove the Globe without the state of Israel, simply because there are millions of Jewish customers using shops in the Big Apple.
In Saudi Arabia, Cairo and Damascus you have for decades been able to purchase the same Globe. But neither the US, The United Nations nor the European Union have ever raised any serious objections.
