    It’s not really the same I’d say. If you live in Israel, I feel like you can easily move elsewhere. Not sure, just me spitballing that many countries would be ok with them being granted asylum.

      You say that like it’s as simple as a choice. I’m in the US. I do not want to live in the US. I do not have the means to move out of the US. To be eligible for asylum, you need to prove that your life is threatened by staying in your resident nation.

      I voted against Trump three times, lobby my congresspeople, and am an activist against the atrocities of this administration. Does that make me complicit in Trump’s actions? If so, how do you justify that?

        I honestly wonder the population of the people in Israel for and against the war. Because, the origins of Israel is kinda rooted in Zionism and if you live there then you have to serve in the army doing whatever they make you do. But it always seemed like to me that whoever lives in Israel is totally fine with everything going on or just grit and deal with it but not taking too much action.

      If you’re in the US, you can also easily move elsewhere. The problem is not whether its legally possible or materially feasible, but whether it’s ethical to force people to do so.
