I usually write in English - because it's my mother tongue and that's what comes out when I sit down to write, and when I write here (on Facebook) about the situation in Israel, it's also usually more addressed to my family and friends abroad. This time I'm writing in Hebrew because it's important to me to say what I think and feel to you - my Israeli friends.
A few days ago, someone I love and respect very much told me that I’m just incompatible with Israel(this is not the first time I've heard this or things to this effect). I'm definitely debating - should I leave and when do you know it's time to leave, I do have somewhere to leave to, so why don't I leave... But when she said it, my heart broke a little more (how much can one heart break? It turns out, a lot), because even if we assume that it’s true, I am here, and in the meantime, I haven’t left, so what should we do? And if it’s true, and people like me, who believe in non-violence and peace(this is an oversimplification, but you get it, I’m a leftist, just somehow even more so?), if I don't fit in here, does that mean that this is how Israel lives - forever?
