IK Multimedia goes into politics?

I'm not sure it has been done by IK themselves but this is quite interesting...

The IK online store WIPED down "Israel" from their list.
Instead there is only:
Palestinian Territory, Occupied.


First, I'd like to admit. I'm a left-wing man, I do feel Israel (which I'm part of, for the better & worse ) occupy and use methods which aren't moral or fair.
As I believe there are american citizen that find the US involvement in Iraq also as something they do not support.

I actually think it is ok to write "Palestinian Territory, Occupied" to offer the Palestinian Users to purchase. and yes, those the are many occupied territories.

HOWEVER,
Removing a country seems to me as an unfair option.
If I'll remove any country that is occupying or hurting minorities or entire culture and/or nationality I'll remove too many countries...


Also I've noticed Russia & Egypt isn't in the list also.

I wonder if it is a political agenda or just one of the webmasters personal opinions.

Yet I do find it offensive especially since most of us doing music actually believe music DOES cross-borders...
