Israel as Rainbow


"Faces of Israel" Highlights Nation's Different Colors -Herb Keinon

Pictures of 83 white, black and yellow Israelis will blow in the Manhattan wind in May, trying to knock the often one-dimensional perception of the Israeli, and instead present the country's people as a rainbow.

[T]he campaign of huge banners featuring Israeli faces fluttering from light posts on Fifth Avenue [is] aimed at showing Americans that Israelis were just like them - a variegated, multi-ethnic, immigrant society.

The campaign is part of Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations in the city.
