    They love branding pride as something Israeli, but outside of Tel Aviv the country is terribly homophobic, in particular with the current fascist government.

    It is a propaganda ruse to be more palatable to western liberals

      So countries aren’t allowed to have differences between the city and the countryside? Same could be said about many western countries.

        Tel Aviv is not the only Israeli city… Thinking of the area in a classical rural-city divide doesn’t work anyways, because you don’t have the “lived in my village seen nothing else since 10 generations” families, given how most came to steal the land just two generations ago.

          Tel Aviv is not the only Israeli city…

          And I never said that. It is the one with the most liberal international reputation though.

          The rural-city divide is not about people staying in the same place for generations, otherwise the us wouldn’t have one. It’s about progressive and traditional values. And Israel does have geographical differences in that regard.

          Anything else?
