Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Last week, Politico’s Ben Smith
pointed me to a very strange Israeli government advertising
campaign, which was aimed at persuading Israelis in the U.S. to
go home.
By some estimates, hundreds of thousands of Israelis live
in the U.S., including many exceptional scientists and
physicians, and Israel believes they should be working at home.
So the Israeli Ministry of Immigrant Absorption placed
billboards in several American cities that were meant to scare
expatriates into believing that their children would cease to be
Israeli if they remained in the U.S.
