Do not visit the south to pity.
Come be a part of our victory picture
We do not want there to be launches to Rishon LeZion or Ramat Gan, just so that you understand what is happening here - we want peace as with you. A law that envelops the law of Jerusalem. Amazing in Israel and see for yourself how

Looking for a victory picture?
Do not wait.
Come to Sderot today and you will receive it.
And the truth is, you did not have to wait for the operation, the picture of the victory was taken even before it started.
Believe it or not, look at these figures: in 2001, when the first rocket was fired at Sderot, 19,200 residents lived there.
20 years have passed.
20 years of rocket fire, alarms, thousands of panic victims, wounded and dead, and it was only natural that the residents would leave, at least some of them.
So it's not, upside down.
Today, 30,949 residents live in Sderot.
You read that right.
Let's get stronger.
Do not come to the south to pity us, we do not need pity, come to understand and learn how for many years the people of the south have been dealing with the tension and anxieties with the rockets and shrapnel, with incendiary balloons and explosive pilots.

Not everything is perfect in the south and quite far from it.
Thousands of children, women and men turn to resilience centers not only during times of operation, but life here is one big round that spans almost 20 years.
Any distillation in the sky or a slamming of a door and our children run to the emergency room, because that's how they got used to it. In general, the fact that the residents of the envelope talk about being used to this ongoing situation only reminds us of the madness.
Guy is a resident of Kibbutz Kerem Shalom, which is also considered a "scary" kibbutz by the residents of the envelope. Guy is not ready to leave the kibbutz even during a barrage of 50 rockets. This is my home, he reminds me every time and maybe even himself. There are some residents in the south who see the alarms on the television screens in Gush Dan and say "now they will finally understand what we are going through" - I am not one of them. I do not want the residents of Tel Aviv to experience what they experience here in the south and in the Gaza Strip, they live there in a normal country, we do not. No, it is not normal to be a resident of the south in periods of escalation and also in periods of "imaginary silence", when the word echo "drips" is repeated.
Between an operation and a round and whatever you want to call it, the residents of the envelope live in tension. Farmers' crops are on fire from incendiary balloons are common in the southern landscape. Southerners do not ask for alms, and whining is not here - they want a normal, normal life.

In Sderot, the Qassam-hit city that "celebrated" 20 years before the first rocket just a few months ago, construction does not stop, and dozens of families join every year.
Come and see the real estate prices where they rise and climb despite the security situation. You should also talk to Assaf Avigal, who lost his late son Ido in the deadly rocket barrage as part of the "Guardian of the Walls", get to know and get stronger from him.
In the settlements near the fence in the envelope, the residents practice running to the police station. Think about it for a moment, residents who train the children to run to shelters. Absurd. .
If not a normal life.
We have one requirement and it is very simple
A little south of Sderot, lies the commercial capital of the south, Netivot, my hometown.
Anyone who was in this city about a decade and a half ago and knows only rabbinical courts, enters today and sees little Tel Aviv - shopping and shopping centers, cafes, restaurants, and neighborhoods that look like they were pulled out of Manhattan.
The south blooms until the rockets arrive.
Residents of the south and especially the envelope feel that the state treats them differently, they fear that the operation will end and the rockets and balloons will return.
The "envelope law" should be the law of Jerusalem, it is not an extreme demand, a simple demand from citizens for their government.
This is also the demand of Linoy and Manny, who twice postponed the wedding because of the corona, and were unwilling to cancel the henna evening because of Hamas.
Here in the south sometimes also celebrate under fire.
We do not want there to be launches to Rishon Lezion or Ramat Gan, just so you can understand what is happening here - we want quiet like yours.
Yanir Yagana is a Walla!
