Israel has seen emigration double since the attacks of October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war in Gaza. While some are choosing to leave for security reasons, among those choosing exile are activists weary of war and feeling increasingly isolated amid their country’s illiberal drift.

    Nah, unless they’re being obnoxious (eg going around chanting death to Arabs or whatever) dunking on anyone based on their origin is dumb. Leave people be. I wouldn’t want people dunking on random French people just because France still has a colonial empire and holds west African economies hostage.

      Yeah I lived abroad for a while and it sure was fun having a bunch of randos lecture me in how awful America is. Like, dude, I grew up there, I’m aware of all these things. Also notice I left?
