During this time, the State began encouraging immigration from English speaking countries like the United States, the United Kingdom and South Africa. In order to accomplish this they published a pamphlet.

They titled it, "Aliyah Olim" (Immigration Immigrants) and boasted that "in 1948 we had 125000, in 1949 we shall have 250000 Olim".

The pamphlet contained various and sundry propaganda images and slogans, telling the new Olim that the state needs working hands and boasting that every third Jewish citizen is a newcomer.

Have things changed all that much? One wonders.
