ExIsraeliAnarchist

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to just get up and move country? Or to try to immigrate from a war zone to a developed country? Have you seen how the (especially non white/european) people who try are being treated??
As an ex-Israeli I was lucky enough to be able to do it many many years ago because I have dual nationality and family elsewhere I was able to depend on, but most Israelis, never mind Palestinians, don’t have either, or the money to be able to afford to move, or a country that will allow them in.
Check your privilege.

I was lucky enough to have dual nationality and left many years ago, but then I always knew I would because I never felt like I fit in there, so I have no regrets, except for not leaving sooner - before the army would have been better, but I wasn’t able too get out of it.

Be prepared though - life as an immigrant and a foreigner can have it’s own challenges, as can being a Jew outside of Israel, and the “grass” - the political and social aspects of life might be different, but it isn’t necessarily greener - fascism is on the rise more or less everywhere you go, as is the cost of living.

You only get one life, as long as you aren’t harming anyone - do what’s best for you, and remember that to create a better society the workers of the world need to unite, so it doesn’t matter where you are physically, you can and should still be part of a force for change.

I don’t want to give too much personal information, but if you have any questions, I can do my best to answer.

There have been regular demonstrations going on for years, I know people who have been going pretty much every week. They get labelled out of touch bleeding heart traitors or generally ignored by the media (so that others don’t get encouraged to join). There have been more and more anti-protest laws being passed since 7.10, and the police are happy to use them, they’ll arrest relatives of those who were killed or who are still hostages who are there to call for change, it’s disgusting.
I know they’ve also been trying to target Bibi’s house with demonstrations, but he is hiding out with his rich friends and makes sure to only go back to Caesarea when he knows they aren’t there. It’s hard to organise under a fascist government, especially one that invents the spywares all the other governments buy. I hope they keep fighting.

Edit to be clear: yes, it is even harder to organise under occupation of another government, but I am not qualified to speak of the Palestinian experience, so I don’t.
