Obviously the maniacs in Iran vow to wipe Israel off the map, but who knew a major American retail chain has already done so? The folks at Target have some explaining to do, because their mealy-mouthed excuses offered up just aren't cutting it.
It looks as if Iran has found allies in its quest to wipe Israel off the map -- the dopes at your friendly neighborhood Target store.
On sale exclusively at Target is this innocent-looking toy globe. Thousands of these trinkets have already moved out of malls, from Queens to Honolulu, and landed in living rooms and kids' rooms across America.
But folks who forked over a buck for the miniature worlds got less than they bargained for.
These planetary models contain just about all the countries on Earth -- from France to China, Singapore to Spain. But there's one glaring exception:
Israel.
In the spot where Israel should be, this word is printed: "Palestine." Some of those who unwittingly purchased the Israel-free orbs feel as if they've played a role in a modern-day Final Solution.

“Made in China” on the label?
We are in the middle of a war against God. The outcome is not in doubt, but the struggle will be painful.
This just HAS to be a sad joke......
My response to this....BOYCOTT TARGET! I would hope that Target was simply negligent in checking out the stock but a temporary boycott may make them and other retailers more aware in the future.
Not a joke. Suppose you were making a globe, and you only had room for one word for the Isreal/Palistine area.
Which would you choose? Remember that if you choose Palistine, you risk getting an outraged response that will lead to letter-writing and ridicule in newspapers.
If you choose Israel, someone will show up and blow up you and your family.
Not really that hard a choice.
Sadly painful...you are so correct.
And then again, we should not be surprised when this actually steps up it's pace.

Target has a history...I well remember the “gather round trees” of one year, they didn’t want to use the word Christmas. Then the denial of Salvation Army bell ringers, the sound of which says Christmas, plus the obvoius religious relevance of the word Salvation at Christmas time. Pooh on Target, they aren’t even competitive on the majority of items, but even if they were I’d pay more to be allowed to have my traditions!
Thanks for that info!!! Makes me feel better for boycotting them. They are off my list of places to go from this day forward!!! Thanks again!!!
Thanks hennie pennie. Israel will be around long after Target is just a memory.
