It's in the core of their identity. Shunning tradition, trying to create their own identity. Just look at the incoming prime minister. If you try to look for any rich details, you will find none, all you will find is an arrogant hollow opportunist - and he gets the 2nd highest number of votes!
I really don't care if they are shunning tradition as for as architecture and city planning. All I want is some semblance of character. Whatever kind of character that may be.

You're in the wrong place for that, my friend. It's all hollow and shallow. The only places in Israel you might find some are old cities such as the old cities of צפת, ירושלים, and possibly in some semi-rural areas such as ראש פינה, and some other מושבות.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

מושבות.

ראש פינה, מזכרת בתיה, are examples.

There's a list here, but many have lost the status and character.

I wonder if there are other gender dysphoria issues with their website.

Very important map, which holds some key insights.  Would be more useful if superimposed with infant mortality rates, and life expectancy.

That Twitter thread reminds me of this joke, an old favorite of mine:
Quote
An Englishman and an American were on their way to a business meeting on the 3rd floor.
The englishman said " let's take the Lift"
The American said " Don't you mean the Elevator?"
The englishman said " look, we invented the language, and it's called a Lift!"
And the American said " Yeah, but we invented the Elevator, so it's called an Elevator!"

@Dan do you concur? Israel (or Israelis) in a nutshell?

Helped me better identify one of my big Israel sore points

It’s all about optimizing costs and meeting utilitarian objectives. The commies have won.

Minimal design > Boring, ugly, and repetitive old-fashioned design just for the sake of design. Some of the tweets actually show how bad the old designs are, and the impressive ugly cathedrals weren't all that impressive in an era where you'd see the exact same thing everywhere.

https://twitter.com/culturaltutor/status/1538211940178198528

This tweet was a terrible example - the room on the right is not lacking detail. Exposed ceiling, rough flooring, unique lighting, plants, etc. A graceful blend of rough and smooth, dirty and clean. There's a lot of personality in this room.

Also worth noting - the opposite of ugly old-fashioned design isn't minimalist. There is plenty of detailed and exciting designs that you can find nowadays and it's much nicer than the older stuff.

He also conflates “detail” with “ornate”. Yeh, ornate is not popular after hundreds of years of the same old flower and leaf pattern being used again and again. In a time when you needed special handiwork to create something ornate, it was a way for the wealthy to stand out and flaunt their wealth.

More recently, ornate patterns became very simple to replicate with modern tools. A $50 ornate rug in TJ Maxx that was pumped out in the tens of thousands doesn’t exactly have much luster.

OTOH, a custom ornate piece will still stand out but to produce is prohibitively expensive for most situations unless resorting to slave labor. Regardless, if we’re doing custom, give me an intricate design inspired by the Wynwood Walls over an uninspired ornate piece.
