Dear Stephen,
Last week it was reported that publishing giant McGraw-Hill Education has censored and is planning to destroy copies of a US college textbook entitled "Global Politics: Engaging a Complex World," after complaints about aseries of maps showing loss of Palestinian land from 1946-2000.
Send a letter to McGraw-Hill Education to let them know it is unacceptable to censor Palestinian history!
This disturbing decision follows another case last year when MSNBCaired a similar map and then apologized and retracted it after complaints. These two examples highlight how those interested in maintaining the status quo of occupation and apartheid realize they no longer can win defending Israeli war crimes and instead are seeking to censor the truth.
Let McGraw-Hill Education executives know they should not have succumbed to pressure by those who wish to deny Palestinian history and that they should reinstate the maps and textbooks.
Thank you for taking action.
