Should I permanently leave Israel? - eviltoast

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.

    I don’t think OOP wanting to leave Israel will harm the struggle of the community. Plus, who is saying they can’t help the cause by being alive and doing things in Europe/Canada/US?

    Another thing to consider is that someone fighting for a cause they don’t believe in might do more harm to the cause than good.
