Tell me about Israel. What is each district like? What about the big cities? How different are Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa and Beersheba from each other for example?

>Tel Aviv
Economic and cultural center. Very liberal and European. Often seen as ''a state within a state''.
>Haifa
Relatively liberal but less than Tel Aviv. Biggest and most harmonious mixed city. Entire city is on a mountain.
>Beersheba
Conservative and poor (in israel those two things always come together). Shithole.
>Jerusalem
Very self-segregated to haredi, arab, and regular quarters. On average also conservative but there are liberal pockets. Also on a mountain.
Ryan Gutierrez
They vote in the Palestinian elections.
Eli Flores
>you don't get to vote in Israel if you live in a different country
gasp!
>Tel Aviv
very liberal in the lefty sense, infrastructure nightmare but if you're looking for night life and anything niche, this is your best shot.
>Jerusalem
A personal source of depression for me, has the potential of being THE most breathtaking city in the world, but instead it's filled with trash, nutcases and political drama.
Jerusalem itself can be divided into different districts, some are very touristy, some are very secular (especially where students go out), some are Turbo-ultra-Orthodox ghettos and east Jerusalem is frankly an entirely different city which is exclusively arab.
If you look at satellite images it's very easy to see where west Jerusalem ends and east Jerusalem begins
>Haifa
poor man's Tel aviv, pretty liberal (not as much as tel aviv) and the big city in it's region.
>Beersheba
nothing to see there honestly, called "capital of the Negev" but that's only because there's nothing else in the Negev other than Beer Sheba, Bedouins and military bases.
An oversized central bus station for anyone with the good fortune to not live there.
Josiah Morris
Tel Aviv is very modern, liberal, and secular. Beautiful art and architecture. Jerusalem is more old-fashioned and traditional and has WAY more historical areas. Haven't been to Haifa. Beersheeba has a lot of Arabs and is basically a metropolis in the middle of the desert.

>trash
I did see a lot of garbage on the street, especially on the roads near Orthodox neighborhoods. Do they not clean up their roads or something?
Julian Roberts
What about other cities like
>Acre
>Nazareth
>Netanya

Eilat is a resort town. Lots of tourists from what I've heard, and it's warm even in winter.
Jackson Howard
>Palestinian elections
kek you mean the mickey mouse elections that last happened 14 years ago?
they don't get to vote for the actual representatives that run their lives which are the israeli prime minister, minister of defence, minister of finance, and interior minister.
Nathan Rivera
>Eilat
Resort city for israeli bydlos to visit. Basically no one lives there
>Ashdod
Like Beersheba but with a lot of Russians and Haredim
>Nethanya
Tons of immigrants from France
>Petakh Tiqva
Capital of organized crime
Austin Lewis
>mickey mouse elections
You mean farfour elections
Isaiah Rodriguez

Why?
Anthony Wilson
>Capital of organized crime
Is this a common problem in Israel? I've heard that corruption is an issue, but I never felt physically unsafe when I visited Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.
Julian Garcia
Not at all. Once in a while one family tries to assassinate another's leader, and recently a civilian was accidentally killed in an assassination, but they mostly keep it among themselves. This isn't like 20th century new york.
No idea why. It's just a well known stereotype.
Ayden Ross
I couldn't tell you, I don't live there (yet, planning on moving there to attend uni) so I'm not well versed in their internal politics, but from what I understand the turbo orthodox faction are absolute ass people.
It might be the city isn't doing enough while focusing on the important cash cow (tourism) but the community sure as hell isn't doing the city any favors.
>acre
who cares
>Nazareth
A big arab city relative to it's surroundings, so it's a regional economic, industrial and cultural center.
Kind of like what Beer Sheba is to it's surrounding.
>Netanya and Petah Tikva
Who cares, they're fine places to live in but entirely unremarkable.
People like shitting on Petah Tikva but idk, I don't feel the same, I'm just indifferent towards it.
>ashdod
Haha! time for getting bombed from Gaza!
Unremarkable otherwise.
>Eilat
A shameless tourist trap that only Israelis should ever consider falling to.
southernmost city of Israel and only city that adjacent to something other than the Mediterranean.
Tax free shopping, an admittedly lovely sea you can enjoy in different ways (diving, the underwater observatory and if it's still around the dolphin reef, I haven't been there for a while) humidity and heat that makes the rest of Israel feel like Finland but otherwise the city is tiny and kind of shit.
Hotels are disgustingly expensive.
>Petakh Tiqva
>Capital of organized crime
You're thinking of Bat Yam.
Colton Kelly
Where do these organized crime families come from? Russia?
William Wilson
I’ve heard that southern Israel, specially the coastal area and the part around Gaza was mostly desert until Israel managed to turn it green. Is this true? If yes, is it possible to turn more of the desert into farmland?
Blake Martin
So is there any city worthy of mention that I haven't asked yet?
Bentley Wood
Yeah a lot of it used to be desert until the 1960s or so. Then people started irrigating it and planting trees. They're still planting trees in a lot of areas.
Brandon Phillips
No, though we have local branches of the Russian Mafia
Dominic Brooks
Tzfat and Tiberias are interesting if you like history, though they're not large towns.
Robert Roberts
>"elections"
Jack Hill
So they're mostly home grown?
Are you Jewish American of why do you know so much about Israel?
What's interesting about them
Andrew Ross
I guess there is Ariel and Bnei Braq
>Ariel
It's within the West Bank, so it's formally an illegal settlement, but unlike most settlements which are essentially small towns, Ariel is huge. Originally, like the rest of the settlements, it was built by religious nationalists, but nowadays it has plenty of ''regular'' people who move there because it's cheap.
>Bnei Braq
A city in the center, close to Tel Aviv, but it's exclusively Haredi. Similar to how the previous user described the Haredi ghettos in Jerusalem, but a bunch of intercity highways pass through it
Samuel Ward
All I know is that they have kino fireworks during weddings.

Aaron Myers
Home grown and local in scope. Not very strong, really.
Elijah Jones
Is marriage between ashkenazi, mizrahi, and Sephardic approved of?
Ryan Lewis
Arguably encouraged
Joseph Bennett
Yeah I'm Jewish by blood, and I went to Israel over winter break.
Tzfat (sometimes called Safed) is very old. Some of the city is literally from the Middle Ages, including an old citadel that was used by Crusaders. Lots of art galleries there too. Tiberias was built in Roman times and has been shaped by 2000 years of history. It's also on the Sea of Galilee.
Lucas Hernandez
What about Ethiopians? Are they discrimated against?
Michael Murphy
I've read that their income is lower than the national average.
Henry Russell
In practice they are, but again in theory mixed (jewish) is enouraged.
Blake King
What will the ultimate Jew after all Israelis are mixed together look like?
Justin Perez
Fuck ultrakikes.
Fuck settlers
Fuck religiontards
FUCK BBdrones
Charles Parker
that’s not how it works
Sebastian Edwards
Ethiopeans won't fully mix because of racism, but something like 50% of marriages among ashkenazi/mizrahi jews are mixed, so the future homo-israelicus will probably look like south-east europeans
Zachary Cox

Is it true that voting blocs in Israel break down by conservative vs orthodox, and the orthodox annoy everyone by always voting religiously?
Daniel Price
What? Orthidox are conservative
If you mean conservative judaism, it and reform judaism don't exist here.
Nathan Torres
go to Tel Aviv. Lots of gays there. Obviously, I hope you don't mind circumcised penises.
William Ramirez
Why you people so butthurt about Haredi? I think that they are ultra based unlike liberal cucks from Tel Aviv.
Kevin Wood
>I hope you don't mind circumcised penises.
I do, actually. Cut dicks taste bland and take forever to cum, I will not take a cut penis into my mouth. But that won't stop me from loving my cute smooth bf even if he's cut.
Jacob Miller

I just realized: BB is the head of Israel and CC is the head of Egypt
Ethan Evans
People who aren't orthodox are just secular or atheist. The reforms are viewed as LARPers pretending to be religious. The religious people view them as heretics, and seculars view them as silly for bothering with the whole act.
Leo Price
Based.
There is a small number of liberal Jews who aren't circumcising their sons. Good luck finding them though.
Jonathan Wright

I think they'll eventually mix. Slowly, but surely
Israel seems to have pretty large artificial forests. It's pretty interesting. Do they look like normal forests when you walk through them?
Jaxson Walker
Both, the seperation between the groups is growing, which causes conflict.
Chase Roberts
Based. Reform Jews seem very cringe.
Ryan Davis
redpill me about this.
Owen Gonzalez
Do Sephardi Haredi mix with Ashkenazi Haredi?
Kayden Bell
Yeah, pretty much. Israel is the only country to enter the 21st century with more trees than in the 20th
