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.

    No. Nobody owes their country of origin, shit. They don’t care about you at all. They don’t care about their own people. If you can flip a switch and make it better, do it, but don’t sacrifice your life, literally or figuratively, for a cause you can’t change.
