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.

    150k in over 2 years? The number looks less impressive every time someone repeats it. In an entity of 10M it’s not exactly a drop in the bucket, but it’s certainly not the exodus some would seemingly have us believe.

        That sounds more correct than what I had in mind, but these type of news have been around since the start of the current stage of the genocide. Similarly, there have been news of the Zionist entity’s economy falling off, being on the verge of disaster and so on. It’s not that I don’t appreciate people, especially comrades looking at these numbers and trying to make sense of them, but clearly the approach has been overly optimistic.
