UK Educational Publisher Withdraws Textbook Accused of Bias Against Israel
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Jacob Judah - Hodder Education is withdrawing the textbook, Conflict in the Middle East 1945-95, after complaints about its impartiality in a report from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI). The report noted that the textbook referred to early 20th century Jewish immigrants as "settlers" when they had entered legally and were living on legally purchased land. The book also labelled ancient Judea as "Palestine" at a time when the region had not been named as such by the Romans.
