Im a liberal-left woman who’s college educated (Im trying to become a teacher) whos a dual israeli/US citizen but atm feel alienated from both countries so wondering what in your guys views country would be a general fit for someone like me, maybe theres expats here who can help out
Costa Rica. Lovely country with lovely people. They do not have a national military.
How about Canada?
If you only speak English, perhaps The Netherlands? Lovely place, okay folk and overall cheap for the quality of life provided (compared to France and Belgium, for instance).
That depends what you wanna do and where you wanna live. If you’re not sure, look for working holiday kinds of programs and try them on for size. It also depends what languages you speak, or want to speak.
Try Vancouver, Canada.
We’re always looking for good teachers here and left leaning works very well with the culture here
Toronto, Canada is also lovely
I was just at a Gaza fundraiser show that had Israeli anti-genocide voices in it (in addition to Palestinian performers)
Toronto, Canada is also lovely
Housing though, oof.
Uff… I’m European, lived in Mexico for decades and now live in Vancouver and let me tell you… I visited Toronto once and will not again, to me (personally) it’s a dystopian car parking lot.
Not saying anything bad about the people, they were all lovely and so, but the city, uff, it’s a fugly carbrainwreck
Sorry, just my personal opinion
I know of a few people who didn’t like it when they visited, and every single one of them said they drove everywhere. Yes there’s parking lots everywhere (mostly underground bc snow), but you don’t need a car. You need to experience it on foot and by street car, that’s how you find all the little hidden gems. The transit will get you most places.
There’s also a lot of greenery and parks everywhere. Trinity Bellwoods and Queen’s are my favorites.
Australia is always an option.
We have enough Zionists, no thanks.
How about you repay some of the privilege given to you by both regimes theft of less worthy people’s resources and actually contribue to changing your homes for the better.
People used to be refugees from persecution, not from responsibility.
Anyway, you might be welcome in Hungary and probably India. Perth in Australia would work but you’d have to be white-passing to fit in with all the white South African post-apartheid refugees.
It sounds like you have a teaching degree which is a very country-specific qualification that is almost useless in other countries beyond maybe teaching English to American-occupied countries like Korea and Thailand.
Do you have any other skills with which to apply from abroad or do you expect to show up to a country and just be handed a visa and job? Which European countries did your grandparents colonise Palestine from? If you can get passports for those, you will at least have a right to be there.
My goodness, you seem unwell.
Sorry that you’re apparently just now learning that your country’s whites-only immigration policies in living memory made it the most desired destination for the perpetrators of apartheid. Feel free to stop cosplaying a brit and just swear at me like an actual Australian though.
You certainly seem to assume the worst of everyone.
Thank you, don’t worry your moral compass is alive and healthy.
I mean, she’s leaving, which would deprive them of her taxes, it’s the most she can do.
Why would we help out Genociders ?? & you already have 2 strikes
A country’s acts doesn’t guarantee it’s citizen’s views will be the same too.
This needs to be said, It seems obvious to me but not to many of the more unhinged lemmy users
You, uh, didn’t read OP’s post.
Why would we help
Let me stop you right there… You do not make Lemmy a better place.
I don’t think I can say it any clearer than that. That hostile attitude is a detriment to the community. And please don’t say “we” when you really mean “I”, you don’t speak for everyone.
You haven’t witnessed their society have you ??
You did NOT read OP’s post.
