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.

    Yes, I have an idea. My family is very international. It’s a lot of work to move country, as I mentioned. One of many good steps is to look for work in other countries and get educated, which also solves being poor.

    Apologists like you contribute to people raising children in dangerous conditions. Families had 80 years to relocate.

    I have very limited empathy for people having children in and near heavily contested areas.
