Since the October 7 attacks, over 150,000 Israeli citizens have left the country, many of them with a one-way ticket and no plans of returning. Hila Amit interviewed several Israeli Jewish emigrants, whose testimonies point to a profound loss of faith in the Zionist project itself — one that may signal a broader systemic unraveling.

    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.
