Single meters between Israel first and second

Residents of southern Tel Aviv no longer fight for sovereignty or government - they fight for their lives. Every day, the network is flooded with videos documenting illegal infiltrators squabbling, quarreling, drinking for rent in Hamarat. Next to them are junkies, homeless people, prostitution women, miserable from the margins of Israeli society; Which of them has ever heard of the new regulations? And if he heard - he had no intention of applying. The requirement for "social remoteness" or "isolation" is far from a recommendation.

In the Shapiro neighborhoods, Hope and Neve Shanan businesses continue as usual during the days of Corona, and the outcast citizens who live there are forced to shut themselves up in homes, because even going to the grocery store or the health fund is a danger of epidemic mortality. Taking into account the fact that the civilian population in these areas is elderly and poor - it is easy to understand the dimensions of catastrophe that is emerging in these areas.

South Tel Aviv residents are trying their best to fight the death sentence imposed on them. In addition to the hard-to-watch videos they upload every day, they also tried to show off, in a desperate attempt to get on the public agenda radar. However, the police (who are in no hurry to arrive in cases of violent and forbidden drunken rallying) have actually rushed to the demonstration and disperse it, claiming that a demonstration 100 meters from the house is prohibited. If only black flags were to arrive, embarrassing the end of democracy and returning to their land-based homes in the north of the city - they probably would have opened editions, but South Tel Aviv's senior citizens have no place in the headlines.

And despite the pleas and outcry of South Tel Aviv residents during this emergency, to discuss the burning issue in the Prime Minister's Office - they were not invited. Instead, representatives of refugee organizations and human rights organizations arrived at what could be guessed: instead of rigorous enforcement, punishment or deportation in the case of illegal infiltrators risking the lives of law-abiding citizens, it was decided "with no choice to treat asylum seekers as citizens ". Or in other words - in the fight for respirators, if God forbid - the outlaws who are cracking down on the regulations and spreading the virus will be the same as their weakened victims, that is, the harsh civilians born here and whose lives have become lawless.

And while the cameras' ticking has not stopped documenting the breach of regulations in Bnei Brak or in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in Jerusalem, somehow in southern Tel Aviv the cameras seem to be. The violations of the extremist factions in the ultra-Orthodox population open all editions, and rightly so, but the violations in southern Tel Aviv remain an absolute media gloom because they can produce "a racist and general hate discourse" that somehow the ultra-Orthodox are not protected from.

There is no escaping wondering what would have happened if the Hamaras, local gambling groups, violent street challenges and drunkenness had happened beyond the invisible but clear border of Rothschild Boulevard, and sliding into rich, established Tel Aviv. It is likely then that the issue was dealt with by hand and improvised. Sometimes the border between Israel and Israel is a matter of a few tens of meters.
