Liberation of Jerusalem, 44 Years
Yossie Klein Halevy writes about Israel's most famous picture (The article was published four years ago. Today is the 44th anniversary of that day, by the Jewish calender).
Thanks for posting this. I feel very sad at Rubinger's anger and disillusionment, but that is not unusual in that generation of Labor Zionists who feel the country was their personal property and that democracy tragically took it away from them. However, his photo (which I do have on a wall, plus a photo of the same three men taken at the Wall on the 40th anniversary) will live for ever, and his name will as well.
