real positive stuff from the Japanese....I am ready to NOT buy Fuji Fuji Co. has removed Israel from its complimentary world map that they give to their customers with a purchase. Yes, in Fuji stores abroad you receive the world map without Israel!!! According to Fuji, Israel just doesn't exist... It is most likely done to entice Arab customers. That map without Israel makes Arabs happy, very happy... It is a very dangerous precedent - it looks like an indication that Arab calls for boycott of Israel start bearing fruits. Many Israelis today called for boycott of all Fuji products - film, cameras, batteries etc. (see readers responses in Yediot Aharonot). Luckily - there are alternatives: film- Kodak, Agfa, Konika, cameras - Nikon,Olympus, Samsung, Cannon etc. This Fuji's action is the worst possible insult against Israel, and, until they apologize and reprint the map, we should all never buy anything made by Fuji. Please spread the word around - our buying power can do wonders. Even 3-5% reduction in Fuji's sales could cause them to reconsider.> Also important to note - Subaru is Fuji. And the same approach should be applied as a photographer....my buying habits just changed CC
