I like the first version (w/o the picture) better -- spare and elegant, as I said.
But the headline "What If Israel Were in Your Neighborhood?" makes sense only as
a reply to the Israel lobby ad that used that theme.
How about replacing "What If Israel Were in Your Neighborhood?" with something like
"Israel's Murderous Assault on Gaza -- Paid for by the American Taxpayer --
Was Made Possible Only By the Permission and Support of the US Government,
as Part of the US War in the Middle East"
And a note about Juan Coles would be good. --CGE
