The current war.
When New Jersey was hit by Hurricane Sandy, it was disastrous, many people were injured, some dead, there was billions of dollars worth of destruction, and it barely made a dent in the national psyche. Then Manhattan got smacked, and the whole world listened.
Replace "Jersey" with "the South" and "Manhattan" with "Tel Aviv", and that's the feeling in Israel today.
Tel Aviv and Jerusalem were supposed to be the "safe" areas, where people from the South could come because we invited them here and it's safer here.
Not so much so now.
At the same time, the ratio of rockets falling in the South to the Center is roughly 50:1.
