Normally I would say that this can't be right. I can easily imagine how a glitch might wipe out geotagged Israeli locations from a mediocre British LCC's electronic display. But the "so as not to offend Islam" explanation gets a little too close to "too bad to check" territory.

This is a country, though, where teachers erase the Holocaust from their lessons because Muslim parents complain when it gets taught. It's a country where the Israeli flag is functionally illegal because it provokes Muslim rioters. And so - naturally - it turns out that this is totally true:

Cheap British carrier BMI, which launched lines flying to Tel Aviv in March, deleted Israel from electronic maps presented to passengers on its flights so as not to offend Islam,... However, the orientation of Mecca, the direction to which Muslim face when they pray, is shown on the electronic screens. In the electronic maps presented on BMI flights to Tel Aviv, neither Israel nor any of its cities are marked, except for Haifa, which is spelled 'Khefa,' a transliteration of the Arab name of the city as it was called before 1948. BMI operates many lines to Muslim destinations and presents the 'Mecca Compass' as a service to its many Muslim passengers.

What apparently happened is that BMI has two kinds of maps. One kind is a map of the world as it actually is, which they use on flights bound for Israel. One is a map as their Muslim passengers presumably want it to be, after Israel has been wiped out in a genocidal conflict. That's the map BMI uses for all of their other Middle Eastern destinations:

A "logistic failure" caused the map to be presented on the flight to Tel Aviv, a company statement said, adding that it will be removed from the Tel-Aviv bound planes. The company was making every effort not to hurt passengers' feelings by adopting a nonpolitical position, the statement added.

Because imagining a fantasy world in which century-old dreams of an ethnically cleansed Middle East - that's the inoffensive, nonpolitical position.
