Is the article.

Interesting to hear them call it Nazi and a genocide even before Oct 7th. Guess all the smart ones have left.

Israel is pretty damned politically. The more people of conscience leave the more concentrated the rightwing will be there, and it's already 60%-70% right leaning.

It's partially an ethno-nationalist state, partially a theocracy, partially a racial apartheid state, partially an extension of the American Military Industrial complex.

You're buying into a lot when you more to Israel. It's like living on the cop's gun, then being surprised when it goes off.

That's the thing about a land, you become someone of that land, of the character and people. You have to in order to survive.

doesn't matter why, just leave.

I believe this is called "voting with your feet"

So much for all that "Regular Muslims need to stand up to extremist" bullshit we were fed by Jews for years.

It's hardly surprising.

Israel's attraction for Jews was that it was supposed to be a safe haven from anti-semitism, especially after the holocaust. Successive Israeli governments have spent decades convincinge Jews this was the case, exagerating how safe Israel is, and exagerating the threat of attacks for those who live outside Israel.

As long as the country was largely safe, these people were willing to look the other way on what was happening in Gaza and the West Bank. Sure some of them protested, but I think any real belief in a negotiated settlement largerly died after Rabin was murdered. So they ignored what was happening to the Palestinians, with a bit of help from Israeli media which quieted their consciences and told them they were the good guys.

But October 7th, the inevitable slide into open fascism, and the endless wars have proven Israel to be a dangerous place. Plenty of Israelis have come to the very late realisation that they're not safe from the fascists who dominate Israel either. That what their state is doing to the Palestinians is pointless and will never make them safe. That you can't have a true democracy if it's built on opression.

For example, Israel engaged in pinkwashing for years, but was still a relatively(!!!) safe country for gay people. But Tel Aviv pride has been cancelled for two years running, Smotrich is a government minister despite being virulently homophobic, and homophobic attacks have risen spectacularly.

They understand their latest geopolitical murderous moves as the last excursions of the proxy of an evil empire in decadence and feel it's time to enjoy their hard-stolen blood money back home in Europe or Miami before the colony known as Israel collapses?
