You can basically feel very safe. It has ramifications for the next generation as well. 9) There is almost no crime. The “settlers” threaten the state through bi-nationalism, and the radical left does also, everyone is out to get you. True. 5) You’ll be hated: Israelis are disliked by their own people and by countries around them and other people in the world.

I agree with Eric. Current time in USA and IST. In my experience I was shocked to be called a “fascist” and “collaborator” while speaking at a conference at Ben-Gurion University. I also disagree that Israelis hate Israel. At a government supported non-profit, –where I worked part-time–people hotly debated politics with each other– at times hurling insults–because they were partisans for Labor NRP, Likud, or raised Shomer ,Hatzaeir. That is a difficult fact to wrestle with. I don’t think so. Friday Oct, 23, 2020. but we have accomplished in our very short time as a country more than any other country in the history of the world who is less than 70 years old. I’m not a fascist. And beer? Big shocker? My list of ten things I’d like to have known about Israel would be a bit different. 4. Tell me, from what utopia do you hail from, where everything is puppies and rainbows?

Cities are for you, the rural communities, where people relax in swimming pools and have nice homes with gardens and breath fresh air, those are for groups that maintain their community through an “acceptance committee”. If you are unhappy with your choice of making Aliya at least you have the option to live anywhere else you find to be a better fit for you and your family. You have many rights, but you have to know them and insist on them. Rabbis incite against Reform Jews, academics write about how they support ISIS or support terrorism, other people say that Orthodox Jews should be expelled or exterminated. The Time Zone Converter converts times instantly as you type. Of course you can take solace in the fact you’re trading an effete de-racinated Western society for a muscular national one.

Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. That means if you want to move to any community outside a city, around 1,000 places in Israel, you must beg to be “accepted.”  That means submitting handwriting samples, proving that your family has similar “social” origins as the people there, that you are the same ethnic and religious category as the people there, and that you will be part of the “community.”  Unless you’ve grown up in a youth movement abroad like HaBonim and already been socialized to be a “member” of these apartheid-fraternities, you won’t even know the lingo of how to move to these places.

2) Israel is a segregated society – Depends on how you look at it. So do New Yorkers. The US has a racism problem. As for housing – do you actually believe that everyone in every country (except Israel) can afford single family housing with a garden? I understand where these opinions are coming from but let me say that as a Greek Orthodox American woman, I had to leave my home in Athens Greece at 15 because my family could no longer afford private school (Americans were not allowed to go to Greek public school or allowed work permits).

Here’s an account of some loser who’s blaming Israel for being a complete failure. India Standard Time (IST) IST is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of Universal Time. If you are Ashkenazi, you will be expected to embrace this new invented “Ashkenazi” identity as an ethnic identity and encouraged to think of yourself as superior, just for having been born with a European-Jewish last name. The longer you’re in Israel the more you feel like an immigrant and not a “vatikim” or “veteran Israeli” or “sabra.”  Subtle things, like not having served in the army, or being in a youth group, or growing up as part of a close-knit homogenous community, will make you realize over time that you mostly only associate with other outsiders. She seems to have spent five years in the country before moving abroad… 4) Israel has acceptance committees:  Abroad we are told that Israeli kibbutzim are wonderful utopian societies. Most new housing in the US is built in far-out suburbs that are impossible to reach without a car, and those suburbs fight against transit service to them, just so that low-class “criminals” can be effectively excluded. Dati-Leumi and secular Jews are (mostly) fully mixed at IDF, university and at work. 6) You’ll always be an outsider – Well, this might be true for any immigrant, anywhere in the world. For no reason, you’ll find that you are hated. Is that bad? In another incident a Jewish activist in America who once worked for JTA and is invited to many Jewish events said my place of work should be burned down and threatened my family, for something that had nothing to do with me. 8) You can still hitchhike. Israel Standard Time (IST) is 2 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). You’ll wonder why it is that a Swiss chalet is cheaper than a dank and disgusting hotel room in Eilat. You’ll be seen as supporting “apartheid” and “fascism”. Israel ‘seem’s to grow and aliyah continues. Yes we struggle with a lot of issues, yes we have problems and yes this is not a country for the faint heart.

Sun: ↑ 06:50AM ↓ 06:00PM (11h 10m) More info I agree with Eric; start focusing on the positive and you’ll be a much happier camper. The US is a segregated society, where many cities have a street, one side of which is overwhelmingly populated by blacks and the other side by whites. Only your kind are the “good ones” who if not for you the state would collapse.
