Here are two new videos by the Israeli government to persuade Israelis living abroad to return to Israel. Interesting to play the assimilation card on them. Very moving.
I do agree that their kids are likely to assimilate, but are these videos too manipulative? Is it within the Israeli government's role or mandate to encourage its citizens to return? (- I guess no more than it is to encourage anyone else to make Aliya!) Anyway, if you like or dislike these videos, add your comments below.

Heblish!
Bush is here and America is all over the news (and all over Jerusalem.) In Bush's honour we invite all American citizens to make Aliya!
Actually, due to all the parking restrictions and anticipated road closures during Bush's visit, when I had to drive to Rechavia today at midday, it was like driving at 2:00 a.m. No traffic. Thanks Bush!
On the radio this evening, they told a great episode that happened at the dinner that Ehud Olmert held at his residence. apparently, Bush went around the table asking every minister where his/her parents were born. He was amazed that not a single govt. minister's parents were born in Eretz Yisrael! Well - welcome to the miracle of Kibbutz Galuyot! (ingathering of the Exiles.)
