OK, both sides of this debate are now entirely fictional! The Israeli
government has not disclaimed any copyrights on these images. The images
are public domain in Israel and copyrighted in US. As to whether Israel
would choose to assert its US copyrights, no one knows besides the
government of Israel. Perhaps someone should ask them, instead of everyone
presuming to speak for them.
