Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, who’s running for reelection today, stood on a porch overlooking the City of David archaeological site yesterday. It’s innocent enough a photo op, but, let’s face it, every time a Zionist politician stands on a porch, it brings to mind Theodor Hertzl in Basel.

Here’s a depiction of that same photo op, in the city of Dimona, way down in the desert.

And here’s the image of Hertzl over a water tower on the side of Highway 2, in Hertzliya, the city named after the great visionary.

Some nations forget their heroes, others can’t have enough of them. We do both.

Come here daily for profound comments on life, history, and the human condition.
