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 make some very good points, giving me something to think about. Thanks
To add to their point, I live in the USA. I speak 4 languages. My girlfriend is Mexican and has dual citizen status in Mexico and Chile. The US is fucked, but not in the same ways exactly. That being said, I’m ashamed of our behavior every day.
The USA is not a moral northstar nor is it a place to aspire to live unless you’re in dire straights.
We plan to move to Chile at some point. I can maintain my US job.
Fuck false loyalty to nationality. Live for yourself and your loved ones. Everything else is farse. Life has no borders.
