|

Which one is the heart of Israel?
Jerusalem is a poor city [second poorest in Israel] with lots of religious people inside it.
While Tel Aviv is modern city and it generates lots of wealth. It is the financial capital of Israel.
So quite readily, one can see that Jerusalem is only important because of the psychological reasons and it is a huge burden in reality. |

Sometimes, the heart is not where the money is.
That's just my two cents. |

| As to the 'heart' in an emotional sense, I cannot say for I am not Israeli, but for me the capital is Tel Aviv. |

It's a burden because it's a poor city? Hey, there's a lot of poor people in NYC! And Washington D.C. has a whole lot of crime. Are they "burdens" too?
I have no doubt in my mind that Jerusalem's benefits far outweigh its costs, even from a financial point of view. |

Why Tel-Aviv? Why not Haifa or any other Israeli city? There's nothing special about Tel-Aviv. |

Benefits? Yes, the Haredim and marginalized Arabs have many benefits such as giving the world lots of children, studying religion, etc! :-|

Destroy it ... the place is symbolic and holy for three of the world's most disasterous human constructions.

Tel Aviv is the financial capital of Israel. That's why I chose it.

No, but it's clear that a malfunctioning heart can cause brain damage ... if you know what I mean. :wink: |
