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

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'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.
