Where's Israel?
Well, I originally thought that this was overblown. But on a closer look, the State Department leaving Israel (and only Israel) off of a map of Saudi Arabia could only be intentional. (Found at Winds of Change.NET)
Maybe this is being diplomatic, but it sure seems like kissing ass.

What does it imply that Saudia Arabia isn't labeled either?

Lebanon, Qatar, and Bahrain all make the grade despite their size.
