That “countries or groups who don’t recognise the State of Israel” is quite a lot of people, and they’re more mainstream than usually realized. Basically, Islamic believers plus anyone who’s bought into the idea that Zionism is a “colonial settler enterprise” don’t recognize the State of Israel, or at the very least wants the State of Israel derecognized and acts that way. The BBC and the other Far Left owned media outlets (most of the worldwide media) certainly fit that category.

The mainstreaming of the idea that the Jews have absolutely no right to anything here needs to be acknowledged. We’re not in the 1950s anymore or even in 1975 when the equation of Zionism with racism could cause shock; we’re in an age of a righteous minority up against the machinations of an evil majority (including useful idiots—far too many Jews among them, alas—who give aid to the evil cause). Our enemies everywhere are not here to discuss things, their minds are already made up; it’s war they want, whether it’s in the battleground of hearts and minds (like the BBC) or physically (like Hezbollah). There’s a reason the European Union refused to recognize Hezbollah as a terrorist organization: Because the EU and Hezbollah are on the same side in the war against the Jewish nation and its nation-state.

But to replace it with a random picture of a Tel Aviv apartment to represent the entire country? That’s just lazy, if nothing else.
(I’m imagining that some intern was ordered to do a Getty image search for Israel images and using the first random image that popped up.)

Hard as it is to believe the current Israel profile is considerably better than the one that was online for years.
