Should I permanently leave Israel?
Should I permanently leave Israel?
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.

How would you plan to change society? That sounds like a big ask of someone.
I totally say someone should leave if they want, I'm currently leaving the US and traveling and am looking for a place to settle that isn't America.
But remember something: America is funding Israel and helping with Gaza, so I don't know about choosing America to get away from that. It is a step removed at least?
It's not cowardly to leave. Also, you can always change your mind or move on if that choice doesn't work out. I'd leave. But I'm already doing that.
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.
