Do you like people tell you USA is the most amazing thing ever and everyone else is shit?
Its honestly quite a bit safer than you're implying, and they currently live in the US, they are likely very used to the domestic terrorist terrorist attacks of the nearly daily mass shootings and high levels of nationalism, it'll certainly be to a stronger degree in Israel, but i'm sure OP is somewhat aware. Just because someone is interested in moving to Israel doesn't mean they are supportive of its government, it still can be an amazing place with amazing people, lets not forget that and try to keep this civil, it seems like we often handle this topic quite poorly.
The guy I used to rent my apartment from here in Vienna kicked me out in order to sell his propery off, as he was planning to open/buy a hotel in Tel Aviv. If he is to be believed, you make more money, the people are nicer, and everything in general is just better, at least better than in Austria. The women are more beautiful and people have more respect, for example.
Hah, yeah, sounds about right
My Dad went to live their in the 1980s and joined the army. Left after 10 years but said he loved it. Just make sure you go Tel Aviv/Haifa and not Jerusalem. Sorry can't help you other than that but good luck.
True
Civil? Let's not sugar coat this. No one was saying that the US doesnt suffer from problems.
1 grandparent iirc. Good enough for to be targeted by Hitler is good enough for Israel to consider you Jewish.
cold and boring
I'm assuming it's a more lengthy process than Israel since I'm Jewish I heard it is not a particularly complicated process.
I believe ShimshonNehorai has left Era after several complaints of strong antisemitic undertones when discussing the subject of Israel from within some parts of our community, not just people being critical of the Israel government. Its a big reason why I think we need to be a bit more cautious of how we approach the subject and am hoping its something we can improve on, but of course i do understand why conversation around it can be so heated.
It also gets really hot and boring!
I was just trying to do a simple contrast between the two as honestly your basic way of life wouldn't be too different as most parts of Israel are quite safe, though there certainly are parts you'd want to avoid, but really i shouldn't have been quite so aggressive with my examples, its rather early and I've had a terrible sleep and my its coming off in my grumpy tone.
Oh, indeed, and i had quite a long conversation with ShimshonNehorai about it all as it was important not to confuse being critical of Israel and some if its policy with actual antisemitism as i feel can happen sometimes, and did feel they were perhaps doing, but after some examples and conversation on it i could see where they were coming from with some posters words and attitudes. I do have some Jewish heritage myself but i'm really not connected with it and antisemitism isn't something I've ever really directly faced in my life, despite knowing of course its a very widespread and serious issue even today, so its kind of something i'm trying to have a greater perspective on.
There are EU countries that aren't catholic-dominated though. If you can obtain EU citizenship from a particular country you can move anywhere else in the EU.
Uhm that's not true, for one and unlike Israel no country in Western Europe has an official religion that permeates the law and civil life, (Good luck divorcing in Israel as a woman lol) and talking about "Catholic Domination" in 2018 is a bit of a stretch.
basically this
I don't think these factors are relevant for the comparison, are they?
