They call this Bedouin tent a new cruise terminal.
It takes a lot of audacity and contempt for the public's intelligence to celebrate a terminal that is a tent! that serves as a terminal, after the terminal building was closed, several years ago, by order of the city engineer, because it was a "dangerous structure," and since then the State of Israel [Ministry of Transportation – Herod and the Trouble Regev …] has not seen fit to arrange a proper structure in its place, but a tent, which even getting to involves a long walk with luggage, and considerable physical effort, not to mention the discomfort and insult! of waiting for hours on the sidewalk! in front of the old Netivot House, instead of in the air-conditioned Netivot Hall. If this is celebrated, then we can say with certainty that the State of Israel no longer exists. It's a shame that the mayor agreed to participate in the joke at the public's expense.
