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.

Yeah I know anti semitism is on the rise, which does make me weary, but there's also lots of institutional support against racism and anti semitism

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

I think he's going to lose because he just is more hated than he is liked. If he wins, then I'll eat my words obviously

The US is helping Israel's war in Gaza yes, but so are most European countries to be fair. I guess I meant more that the war is far away and won't affect me and my kid personally over here.

Should I permanently leave Israel? (lemmy.world)
 

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.
