Interesting time-capsules in these videos, including in the way Israel was portrayed by British Pathé back in the 'fifties & 'sixties. Keeping in mind that Israel during much of this period was more political ally of the UK & France than of the United States. There's a more than somewhat touristy if not propagandistic tone to many of the videos, but always cool to see a window into the past. And in colour no-less. Hell, most British teevee was still in black-and-white till the seventies.
Last line of the last video, from '69: 'They hope for peace. The tragedy is, can it be achieved ?' Well...
