Yeah all good points. I guess it just seems like the rest of the West is still doing better than Israel.

I speak Spanish as well as English and Hebrew, so I guess there's always Argentina or Chile.

You make some very good points, giving me something to think about. Thanks

Thanks for this response. Israel also is facing AFAIK a slower brain drain because Israelis with education and money tend to move.

Yeah I'm just center-left, but that's "far left" or even "extreme" left in the Israeli politics now..

Yeah I gave birth to a son here in the US, which I think is a better environment for him than Israel personally.

[-] ashkenaziisraeli@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Less so since I'm not a citizen of those countries.

Ironically I'm firmly in the middle on the conflict compared to a lot of what I've seen from the online left, but compared to most israeli policymakers, I am far left. It's weird.

I'm not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says "no stupid question" so here goes. I'm an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I've become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety of reasons (the war in Gaza being one of them, the erosion of democracy by Likud being another, and etc) but is that cowardly to leave? Should I go back and try to change society or should I just leave for good? Thanks for your time.
