[Will we see a photo of the King David Hotel bombing? (see below). It was a bombing attack against the British government of Palestine (now called Israel) by members of Irgun —a militant Zionist group. 91 people were killed, most of them civilians: 28 British, 41 Arab, 17 Jewish, and 5 other. Around 45 people were injured. I would ask the question to my readers: Why have you never heard about the King David Hotel bombing before?-ed]

A unique photographic exhibition celebrating the work of two giants of Israeli photojournalism is being held in London. Eretz Yisrael: Birth of a Nation captures the work of photographers David Rubinger and Paul Goldman.

The exhibition, at the Sony Ericsson sponsored Proud Gallery in Camden, north-west London, illustrates both joyful and tragic moments in Jewish history from Holocaust survivors to the declaration of the State of Israel.

It includes more than 150 iconic pictures that mark decisive moments and the key personalities from Israel’s history.

Over the years, the two photographers earned the trust of key figures in Israel’s history such as Golda Meir, David Ben Gurion, Moshe Dayan, Yitzchak Rabin, Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon.

Rubinger, who was awarded the Israel Prize in 1997, the highest civilian honour given by the State of Israel, in recognition of his dedication to telling the story of a nation, for his contribution to journalism, attended last week’s launch along with deputy Israeli Ambassador Zvi Ravner and a host of Jewish community leaders.
