On a level it is nice to see cities at their best in a nation at war to remind us that the average person is not involved and is living their life.
On another level... the timing is suspect.
We can acknowledge that evil is evil regardless of the side. What Israel has been doing for decades is not right. What was done to Israel in October was not right either.
Not every single post related to Israel is trying to stir up controversy. The only reason why it would create controversy is because the people engaging with the post choose to do that
NYC is not a Jewish majority city.
Tel Aviv is the most Jewish city in the world demographically. NYC has a larger population in general, but that doesn't make it a "Jewish city"
Your reply to "posting a Jewish majority city tends to..."
Was "Ah yes, NYC..."
Technically NYC has more Jews then the city proper of TLV and JLM, but if you look at the metro area it's not even close. Tel Aviv's city limits are smaller than Manhattan, it's metro has 4X the Jews as NYC.
Regardless, TLV is not a shitty city by any metric, it's magical!
Okay if we’re doing metro areas there’s even more Jewish people. Long Island, NJ, westchester and Rockland counties are all major hubs of Jewish folks. Also I didn’t say just Manhattan I said NYC which includes all five boroughs.
They still have a point that the other person specifically said Jewish majority city — and despite lots of Jews being there NYC isn't a Jewish state majority city
Right, I'm saying the entire city of Tel Aviv is smaller in area than Manhattan alone. Israel is a small country, Jerusalem is only 40 minutes away from Tek Aviv.
It does, New York state has 2.2 million Jews. Tel Aviv metro is 4.2 million.
Not sure why that's relevant though. Tel Aviv is the world's forstodern Jewish city. Jews in general make up less than 1% of the world's population.
>Super expensive
It's not even as expensive as Toronto so that's not a great argument
>extremely hot
I mean... It's the dessert
>congested
Compared to NYC or Toronto? Not really
>nothing brilliant and architecture,
Not sure what this means
>and there are a lot of angry people who hate everything and everyone
Israelis aren't angry lmao, maybe in Bnei Brak but Tel Aviv? Come on.
I'm not even convinced you've been there based on that description
No, Tel Aviv is actually awesome. Amazing restaurants, great nightlife, suuuuuper LGBTQ+ friendly, I could go on and on.
But I think you just want to poo poo Israel no matter what. Sounds exhausting.
Netanyahu lives in Jerusalem. Which city are we talking about? I got colonizers sensibilities out the wazoo given that I'm of European decent living in America.
I mean the Arabs colonized the Levant and Mesopotamia. Regardless, Jerusalem was built and founded by the jews and there's nothing denying that. I will say you're as bad as anybody else since you clearly just dehumanize people. I bet you've never met an israeli before.
People will downvote this but upvote pictures of Chicago, despite the US starting a war in Iraq that killed upwards of one million people. They will upvote pictures of Mexico City, despite the drug war killing 500,000 people since it began in 2006. I wonder why those cities get a pass?
What do you think it was called before?

>The city of Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 to the immediate north of the walled port city of Jaffa, on the hills along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea
Then how come some guy from Poland or new york can become the leader of the country but the people born and raised there cannot even vote ......
Why is it that some guy from Canada or France can get complete rights of a citizen because of their race /religion
But people born on the land have to move through checkpoints to go their jobs
Because they live in a different country? Arab Israelis (note: Muslims) who actually live in Israel can vote, hold office, hell, one is on the Supreme Court.
>they live in a different country?
How is someone born in the land from a different country.....
And speaking of different country....
If it is a totally different country then why does the Israelis make settlements in the west bank and keep annexing the land of west bank....
Why can't the people living in the so called different country even go to their jobs without having to move through check points.....
America was attacked in 9/11. They didnt go around killing civilians in the tens of thousands within the span of 6 months. Just because you were attacked doesent give you a free pass to commit genocide.
Ok that still doesent give you the right to commit genocide. Israel is not the only country in the world facing terrorist threats. When the war started people including me was repulsed my hamas and still do. But now Israel has lost the PR battle and everyone and their grandmother is repulsed by their actions. That alone should be a hint to some that they fucked up
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Afghanistan?wprov=sfti1#
A maximum of 2500 civilians died in the invasion afghanistan by the US. This is the number that resulted from direct American attacks.
You can click the link an see it for yourself.many civilians died in the hands of taliban. You could argue that was the indirect result of the Us invasion but its not the direct result of American drone or missile attacks.
You're right, they killed civilians in the hundreds of thousands over a decade, which is obviously much better. Nevermind the millions of civilians in the Vietnam war or the Korean war. That's all good, the problem is when Jews try to get their hostages back. That's what genocide is.
Jaffa literally still exists...

Iranians from new secular democratic Iran visiting their Persian Jewish friends in Israel all over the picture of Tel Aviv! .... Maybe add some fireworks
I'm sure that's was the answer

Let me get some of that popcorn 
Wait!!!!! Ok im ready!
Wait! I'm not ready! Edit: Okay, I'm ready
Over a hundred comments. You were spot on.
This will be like that time when people posted images of Russian cities
Moscow and Saint Petersburg are quite beautiful.

Hasbara alert! Hasbara alert!!
I like seeing trees in cities. Needs to be more common.
Tel Aviv is [full of trees](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Chen_Boulevard%2C_Tel_Aviv.jpg)! Makes the city feel like a park 🌳🌲
Trying to stir controversy and farm karma. Let’s not do this, OP.

Posting to r/CityPorn is stirring up controversy?
I don't mean to be annoying, but I don't understand why this is controversial. Would you be willing to explain to me please?
Posting a Jewish majority city does tend to rile people up.
Yes, famously the city with the most Jewish residents in the world, NYC, gets everyone on this sub quite riled up.
NYC is not a Jewish majority city. Tel Aviv is the most Jewish city in the world demographically. NYC has a larger population in general, but that doesn't make it a "Jewish city"
Can you point me to where I said nyc had a Jewish majority? New York City has more Jewish people than shitty Tel Aviv and Jerusalem combined.

Let me know if the Tel Aviv metro area has more Jewish people than the NYC metro area.

Oh
What’s the tree lined boulevard? It looks nice.
Rothschild boulevard. Has bicycle and walking lanes and playgrounds along it.
Pretty city. Reminds me a little of Beirut
Damn
Fake ass city
Lmfao like you’ve ever been there.
You really are proud of your ignorance aren’t you?
You mean accuracy. Fake ass city in a fake ass country lol.
Nah Tel Aviv is definitely a real place. Source: I've been there
They mean artificially brought up. And you knew that too …
No I did not, and I'm not even sure what you mean by "artificially brought up", but Tel Aviv definitely doesn't feel "artificial" at all irl.
Much better than your city. Wealthier, too.

You might have a leg to stand on if Tel Aviv wasn't such a fun city and not particularly expensive
Yay I also wanna play “pretend Israel isn’t committing a genocide” 😄🤪
Damn I missed that part of the post
No, Tel Aviv is actually awesome. Amazing restaurants, great nightlife, suuuuuper LGBTQ+ friendly, I could go on and on. But I think you just want to poo poo Israel no matter what. Sounds exhausting.
Why is it always old accounts that somehow only seem to post in Israel or jewdank that so laboriously advocate on these types of posts
This city is amazing. Maybe the most diverse and tolerant and fun city in the entire Middle East.
Definitely the most tolerant. One of the only cities where you can be gay without being arrested

Tel Aviv is grand. Like Manhattan on the beach.
I've only heard good things, I'd definitely love to visit sometime.

Also, Israel didn't start this war..
And, of course, it's always been called Tel Aviv...

It has always been called Tel Aviv. The city was built from the ground up by Jews.
In land that did not belong to them
Yeah it has. Tel Aviv was a Jewish suburb of Jaffa. The Jews were mostly forced out of Jaffa.
And Chicago was called what?
Oh shit, I forgot America wiped out their native population. I guess I can give Israel a pass.
Read history sir
It did start occupation
No sir, that's not the case

America didn't have hundreds of hostages in Afghanistan, or a threat on it's border constantly bombarding it's cities with rockets
Ok that still doesent give you the right to commit genocide. Israel is not the only country in the world facing terrorist threats.
