This review is from: Welcome to Israel (Countries of the World (Chelsea House Publications)) (Library Binding)

The first page of text in this book nominally about Israel is a map showing "Palestine," apparently covering all of Israel as well as the West Bank. The word "Israel" does not appear on the page. The third page of text describes Tel Aviv as a city with "huge rubbish dumps, and the rivers are full of pollution." The nominal protagonist of the book, an Israeli girl named Ella, is thankful for the "double-glazed windows in our apartment, and we could not sleep at night without them" because of the "noise and pollution," which "make it a difficult place to live." Is this the first (and practically the only) thing that a reader should know about Tel Aviv? Where was the editor here?
