Reuters Has No Idea What's Going on in Israel
We assume that Ari Rabinovitch is an Israeli Reuters employee (bonus question: does that mean he's self-hating?), but that's no excuse for writing a stupid lede designed to reinforce the idea that Israelis are having a lot of fun with this whole war thing:
Siens warning of a rocket attack would likely be drowned out by the steady thump of music in Adi Cohen's nightclub in the heart of Israel's entertainment and commercial capital. "Business has actually been great," Cohen said in Tel Aviv, a city some 220 km (130 miles) from Lebanon but a world apart from the fighting between Israel and Hizbollah and the daily rocket attacks the group has directed against northern Israel. Tel Aviv's beaches and restaurants are packed. Many residents of Israel's embattled north have found refuge in the city, boosting revenues for local business owners.
The headline is "Tel Aviv a world apart from Lebanon war". Apparently having one out of every five people you know get plucked out of daily life and sent to a warzone is the same thing as being "a world apart".
