A few hours ago, I asked if it was okay to go out to a nightclub by myself in Tel Aviv, and I did it!

I had a great experience. Actually, the owner greeted me personally and thanked me for coming, and I met a ton of amazing people

Thanks for encouraging me!

I don't really know if this the place to ask 😅, but I've been seeing the same comments of arabs or Muslims trying to justify or straight out deny that it happened.

Aliyah I’m a former American progressive and I am starting the Aliyah application process for my family.

246 Upvotes

Honestly, since Oct. 7 I’ve felt more and more alienated from any part of American society that isn’t Jewish. I lost friends and my entire worldview was turned upside down.

At this point, I don’t feel at home in the US. I can’t even enjoy pop music without finding out later that the artist wants the destruction of the Jewish homeland. I know it’s really insignificant but I absolutely fell in love with Chappell Roan’s new album. It was giving me all the serotonin boost I needed, and then something came across my Reddit feed about her doing the same “genocide and colonizer bs”, and it just hurt. Like I can’t even participate in pop culture. I’ve deleted social media. Members of my congregation have been harassed going to Shul lately and I don’t see it getting any better.

I live and grew up in the South and I always understood the very real threat of antisemitism from white nationalists (there was a HUGE KKK chapter the next county over). And now the left is ready to lynch us for being “white colonizers”. I had friends of over a decade abandon me when it became trendy. And I speak Arabic, I spent time Israel and years trying to understand every angle of the conflict in the hopes that someday there would be peace in Israel and for Jews everywhere.

I realize now the only place we are at home is our homeland. I never thought I’d feel so alienated from the country I love and people who thought were aligned with my morals.

Israeli society just feels like a better fit in every way. I want to feel at home. I want to be with my people. I want my child to grow up not afraid to be proud of her Jewishness, or even G-d forbid ashamed of it, like I once was. Israel is a real democracy and the US is losing any semblance of it.

I know my daughter will grow up with bomb drills, but how is that any different than the constant threat from gun violence at school, Shul, and every other public place?

We are working on saving and getting additional tech certifications to improve our career outlook in Israel. We are also working downsizing our possessions. We probably won’t be able to actually move for a couple of years.

What other advice do you have for a young family planning Aliyah? 💙🇮🇱

Ask The Sub An Indian Wanting To Move To Israel

21 Upvotes

As the title says, I am an Indian (36F). Ever since 7th October, I have this lingering feeling for how Israel was wronged, and is still judged for protecting its borders. I firmly believe that Hamas should be eradicated, no matter the cost.

India has similar issues in Kashmir, but has never been able to reclaim what was rightfully ours. But that's a separate discussion in itself.

Currently, my conundrum is about employment, and building a life for myself in Israel. I am a content marketer, with over a decade of experience in B2B and SaaS companies. And, I would love to work with an Israel-based or Israeli person-owned organization. I can start out with a remote working arrangement, and then gradually move to the country.

But here are my questions -

  1. Does it make sense for a non-Jewish person to move to Israel?
  2. Would there be ample opportunities to work and integrate myself with the language and culture?
  3. I know for a fact that war and unrest affects people negatively. How do you guys live with that? I don't mean to be insensitive, but I am a bit scared of how would it affect me and my family, and how can I justify making my move?
  4. Lastly, I am not sure if I would be allowed to become a citizen in Israel. In case this is allowed, would I have to serve the military? How does the training and serving part go? If not, how can I contribute towards the country and society?

I didn't watch the whole interview (didn't have that much nerve), all I can say is this man is completely out of his head, he has lost all his brain cells, and I can't make sense of what he is saying. Complete denial of truth, no empathy for Israeli victims (if he even thinks of them as victims).

The War - News & Discussion Is someone enough with pro-Palestine bot spamming all over IG?

5 Upvotes

There are bunch of pro Penistine bot in instragram that keep annoying people, they are everywhere in ig.

Simply, when they see some things related to Israel/Palestine, they will spam the whole comment section with 'fReE pAlEStInE' and clicking like for others same as their political stance.

No matter what we can do, these clowns still occupy the main voice. Spamming, insulting, hindering they do every bad can be finished.

Therefore, I've written this post for complaining of it. I would like to hear it the situation you've met similar to me.
