You'd vote for a party that wants to destroy the Jewish state, then.

Without living there and actually understanding their political climate, it's impossible for me to say. On the face of it, though, I'd be putting a vote Bibi's way.


I honestly don't think there should be any states explicitly for religious groups. I realise that are a lot of 'Muslim' countries and nothing will change that, and we need some counterbalance to this fact, but it grates on me ideologically.

Hadash have become less about unity and more about Arabs lately, which means I might not vote for them if I lived there. I could vote Meretz.

me too
but at the same time i want (in case we are out of this land) to be secure in that place we might go to.
so if security outside of israel isn't good for me, i would prefer to stay here.

if all the jewish of israel were permitted to move to the US, that could be a good move for me.
but most people here prefer to be in danger just for a land.
or something like that.
