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 need to do whats best for yourself, but it sounds like Israel would be a better place with your voice in it.

      It’s not super relevant but Israel doesn’t allow offshore voting, the only way to vote if you live abroad is to physically travel to Israel on voting day. (This doesn’t apply to those on official government business, like ambassadors or navy soldiers or whatnot)
