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.

The family history of Netanyahu is a peak example of Israel being a political project mostly by Europeans, or European Americans. It is the “European” answer to the problem of “European” Antisemitism and many aspects of the logic that bound Antisemitism and Zionism at the time of Netanyahus parents persist to this day.
You can neither look at the history of Israel nor at today’s Israel without looking at Europe (and the US) as well.
Once upon a time in East Africa the homo sapiens migrated to the other world areas. So we post everything in ‘Africa’ now?
If this is an explanation, you can eliminate the communities completely, because everything is connected with everything.
“once upon a time” vs. “within the lifetime of a significant part of the population or their parents”.
If we where to turn that argument around, you would also have to argue that anything that happened since idk. the 90s or so should just be ignored and not seen as relevant anymore, no matter how much it ties in with how the world is currently.
As i have explained before, the strong interconnection between Israel and mainland Europe is ongoing and it will have strong implications for the future of both. So the past, present and future are deeply connected.
