TLV1’s very own Rogel Alpher caused a stir in his recent Haaretz piece, in which he announced his reasons for wanting to emigrate from Israel.
Allison, Don, and Noah ask how this will affect other leftists. In Rogel’s words, is Israel worth the price it’s exacting from us?

Apparently Rogel is “not leaving” at present since there is not another place on the planet that meets his vision and exacts so little of a price for just the sake of being.
Stay or leave, whatever…. I LOVE LIVING HERE! Sure, my Israel isn’t exactly perfect to me, but it is so much more wonderful than anywhere else. What would make it better, some may ask? Well…maybe…it would be better if some individuals did leave. I’d be willing to try this out if they are.
