| Bauhaus Residence is a project envisioned and implemented by the Israeli architectural design office Pitsou Kedem and located in Haifa, Israel. According to Yatzer, the total living area of this building is 450 square feet, on a lot that measures no less than 1000 square feet. |
The British Broadcasting Corporation has finally changed the picture placed on its website's profiles page for Israel, replacing the aggressive image of a confrontation between a Border Guard officer and a Palestinian, to that of landmark Bauhaus architecture in Tel Aviv.
The unique style of architecture, knows the "White City of Tel Aviv" has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
The BBC came under fire recently for failing to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital on its Olympic Games website.
The choice of the original photo placed on Israel's profile page was particularly stridulous compared to those used on the profile pages of other countries in the region.
Egypt's profile page carries the picture of the Great Sphinx of Giza, Jordan's page features the rose-colored columns of Petra, those visiting Syria's page are met with the beaming faces of smiling children, and Iran's page has a picture of a mosque.
The photo was changed on Wednesday and sources in Jerusalem described it a "small victory."

Here is my complaint:
Dear BBC Staff,
Do you usually decide which is the capital in other countries? Why is it that you have decided that Israel does not yet have a capital? Israel's parliament is in Jerusalem and the Prime Minister and President live in Jerusalem. It is quite presumptuous on your part to decide the status of Jerusalem vis a vis Israel. There are other countries in the world that have embassies in cities other than in the capital. Allow Israel to decide which is her capital. You are in no position to decide for her.
Please make the necessary changes. You will receive many more complaints about this until your omission is corrected. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel
Thank you very much,
