With the blocks to one side,
The beach on the other,
And the trees and the leaves
As Michael Portillo, a strong supporter of Israel over many decades, said on last night's This Week, the far larger, modern, coastal Tel Aviv, with its major international airport, is simply a far better capital for the modern State of Israel than Jerusalem is.
Jerusalem was "the eternal capital of the Jewish people" long before there was a State of Israel, it would have been even if there had never been any such State, and it will be after that State has gone the way of them all. That is the thing about being eternal. Something that States are not, and they cannot be run as if they were.
