Monopoly renders Jerusalem stateless

You can vote here for cities to be included in a new edition of Monopoly featuring cities of the world. But Carl in Jerusalem points out that while you used to be able to vote for "Jerusalem, Israel," now it's just "Jerusalem."

Looks as if the gentle voices of peace and tolerance have gotten to Hasbro, which now produces the Monopoly game.

Appalling.

Can we also lobby to have Istanbul listed as Constantinople?

Hugh, (if you happen to see this)
You will be happy to know that when the Mohammed Cartoons were reprinted, the song "Let's Misbehave" made its home in my head and would not leave.

Stop me, Anne, if you and Davy have heard this one:

Monopoly - a fitting game for Muslims, I would think.

Hugh, Fabulous! That song has be grinning from ear to ear. I tried to sing along, but, alas, I couldn't. My daughter just learned about Constantinople during her home school classes. Maybe she'll be quick enough to sing along.

Whoever came up with these should be handed a Chance or Community Chest Card that says

Go to Jail!

Move directly to Jail. Do not pass "GO". Do not collect $200

Our governments are in the process of allying themselves with the islamic world and betraying Israel all because of islamic money.

The irony.
