BMW - We like oil money.

	BMW Group ME Regional Office, based in Dubai, U.A.E. is represented through its dealer network in all countries shaded in yellow which include Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, U.A.E., Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Iran and India. Please select the country in which you wish to locate the dealer.

Hamas has also drawn a similar map.

Well, duh. It's their locater map of Middle East dealers. I guess I would expect it to be a map of the Middle East.

[JohnathanRGalt]

Your middle-east list might be interested in this.

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

So BMW isn't allowed to sell cars in the middle east?

Welcome to the World of Ford

[Dog Gone]

Uh-oh. Ford sells vehicles in Saudi Arabia. Somebody needs to post a map!

Notice anything missing on the map?

Hint: Western Union uses the same map.

You're missing the point. Note which country doesn't appear, and which one does in its place.

[shaggy eel]

,,, BMW is a producer for world markets. There's oil money, there's agricultural money, there's industrial money and on and on it goes. In my little corner of the world though, this made me puke.

Map shows Palistine as having a border with Lebanon and existing wholly North of Israel. Bad Geography.

Well, knock me down with a feather and call me stupid. I did not look at that part of the map at all. I was focusing on the "oil" angle of the title.

Thanks for setting me straight.

Scared me, I thought it was a similar Ford map.

After seeing at least a bit of the error of his ways, think the old man would be a Zionist?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Now you don't think they would purposely leave Israel off of the map, do you? They'd never do that. Nothing to see here, move along. (/sarcasm)

[contessa machiaveli]

yep, i noticed that also. what riles me is that my husband and i both have BMWs. if we realized there weren't BMW dealers in israel we would have spent our money elsewhere.

[Dog Gone]

Mercedes-Benz doesn't have a dealership in Israel, either. Maybe German cars don't sell well there for some reason.

[contessa machiaveli]

i went to the BMW web site...apparently there is a BMW israel but it isn't something they care to shout from the rooftops. feckless fools.

How Un-good of me. I will report to the ministry of peace at once.
