Not Kedai for most people--Moving to the secular state of israel (SSOI)

An aliyanik told me, "You won't recognize Jerusalem." Well, the only change I see is tht Yafo St now has a light rail. Not much else. As for Tel Aviv, it's more developed, but not so much and no more than many other places in the world. Actually, much less than many other places.

This takes the romance out of it and shows that money, war, death,  selfishness, and political intrigue have been part of the state of Israel from way back.
