💨 Abstract

Selfridges withdrew a globe from sale after customers noticed it omitted Israel, labeling Palestine prominently instead. The globe used a numbering system for some countries, but inconsistently, leading to complaints. Selfridges confirmed the removal, stating it could cause offense and that they aim to create a welcoming environment. The globe was spotted at their Oxford Street store, and the incident sparked over 700 complaints, with critics accusing the store of bias.
