Down the Memory Hole

Here's an interesting story: two haredi newspapers in Israel ran the official Cabinet photo but removed two women ministers from the picture: one by photoshopping in men, and the other by blacking them out.

Rather Orwellian; why not just not run the photo?

Unrelated but also on Israel: here's an interesting piece on past and potential conflicts of jurisdiction on defense and security matters in the new Cabinet.
