"Israel's government has launched a campaign aiming to boost the country's image abroad even as it finds itself in the middle of an international uproar over the suspected role of Israeli spies in the assassination of a Hamas operative. Through a new Web site, TV commercials and pamphlets handed to passengers boarding planes, the campaign launched this week tries to get
Israelis to promote their country when
traveling." To be fair. Ian Black, Isabel Kershner, and Ethan Bronner are doing their best. (thanks Olivia)
