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.
You do you. I’m an American who bought a small sailboat and moved aboard full-time to leave the US for exactly the same reason. I don’t hate the US, I would never betray the US, but at the same time I’m not comfortable staying here.
It’s ok to live a life others may not understand. Good luck.
