Would it not have made the emaciated victims in black and white striped concentration camp garb proud if they knew that next to them, in similarly glossy, yet much more dignified and multicolored photographs, were the pictures of smiling children walking upright in the streets of Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv, or Haifa, or countless other Israeli cities? Why were there no pictures of the diversity of modern Israeli cities--of the Ethiopian and Russian and thousands of other different immigrants--a demonstration for the world that the Jews now have a safe haven and are being protected by their...
