Israel Continued...

This article appeared under several news sites, but every link to organizations like ABC and BBC apparently is broken.  For the first time since the Gulf War in 1991, several Tel Aviv museums are moving works of art into secure underground vaults as tensions with the Palestinians escalate.

It fits in well with the previous article detailing preservation efforts in the country, as if answering my ponderings about how Israel manages the protection of their treasures through volatile times.  It reminds of a novel I once read, "People of the Book," in which a Sarajevo museum desperately tries to preserve its Haggadah from war and looters.

My favorite quote: "If they survived 800 years before they got here, we have to do the utmost, for the good of humanity, so they will survive at least another 500 years."
