So, let’s chat about Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. It is a Tale of Two Cities, Two Capitals. Jerusalem is a very symbolic and emotional capital; Tel Aviv is the center of business and diplomacy. The heart of Israel, in many ways, is Tel Aviv. But the city faces a crisis of identity, desperately searching for its historic roots and seeking out what it is.
Tel Aviv vs. Jerusalem: New vs. Old. Modern vs. Tradition. Secular vs. Religious. Sand vs. Hills. The City that Never Sleeps vs. Feeling of Curfew. Liberal vs. Conservative. Hebrew vs. Jewish.

I'm confused. Can we please put the x vs y thing so that the "x"s all go with Tel Aviv and the "y"s with Jerusalem? At first I thought they were just swapped, then I thought only some of them were.
