I can't imagine anyone but religious zealots and people who don't know any better that actually want to live in israel.

See, even the Israeli people know their government is evil.

If I were to guess the primary concern of those leaving it would probably be to go some place that doesn't regularly have rockets fired at it

I mean, haven't they always had rockets fired at them? Why would there be an increase in emigration then? Are there more rockets than before?

This can also be bad in the long term as it's likely that moderates and people against fascism are leaving the country now leaving behind the extremists and Zionists. The spectrum could shift more to being pro genocide amongst the remaining population and even if Netanyahu is somehow out of the government they might vote in another fascist.

Even if the only people who stay are fascists, the fact that there's fewer of them still weakens the state: fewer soldiers, fewer workers, fewer tax payers, fewer customers, etc etc. "Israel" needs to grow to survive.

Nah, it's becoming essentially untenable to live, let alone invest in, due to the Oct. 7 assault's resulting war, and other war with pro-Gazan forces.

Here's a video on it

And an article/opinion-piece

And the ones who don't mind the evil are increasingly seeing it as a bad bet

i want to believe this so i'm hoping there's evidence for it somewhere.
