Saw a few disturbing videos about how many people were shot and/or killed this weekend, just walking the streets of this country. There are pros and cons to every place.

The grass is always greener on the other side.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Saw a few disturbing videos last night of the Israeli police enforcing the coronavirus restrictions which gave me pause about moving there. As imperfect as it is, the American democracy is a huge blessing.
Ouch, they must be really messed up.

No it is not. There's a reason that black/Hispanic/low income neighborhoods are full of it and regular neighborhoods are not. Keep feeding into the liberal agenda that everything is bigger then it seems.

There's a thin line between the type of people that choose a police officer career and those that choose a violent criminal career.

I disagree. IMHO the job itself (police officer) changes many individuals.

That it happens mostly in certain neighborhoods does not mean it can't/won't/did happen in your neighborhood. Gun or any violence is a national problem. WAKE UP!!!

Say what???? (I get most of this, I wonder how many here get it. But it seems to be dropping one word - not that the rest, other than the word "is" is correct)

I didn't say Google Translate. A simple google search will come up with many Hebrew results, but one of them will mention English Translation. Oh, and BTW, it's Aramaic, not Hebrew.

Thats a con of neighborhood not a country. This israel stuff is a problem with the country.

You're not paying attention if you don't think this upcoming election has the ability to change that in a very major way.

And how does Israel make up for America's political instability?

It doesn't make up for anything, it just offers different things. America offers better financial security, more freedoms, and arguably safer place to raise a family. I believe that the outcome of the election in November will challenge all of those benefits, and therefore Israel deserves additional consideration when I try to plan for my family's needs.

Does anyone know what it is like to do Aliya for a person over 60? I am considering moving and would like my family to come with me, but obviously they (my parents) need to work to support themselves.

Does anyone know what are the real options for a person over 60 doing Alliya?

Thanks!

Curious if 2020 so far has anyone thinking about making a change.
Gotta imagine that NYC metro has peaked for yiddishkeit.
If you think Cuomo is bad, just look at the far left politicians being groomed in NY to replace him that will make him look conservative by comparison.

It's time to spread out.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

And Coumo knows it, he knows he can give us a few blows and still we won't have any choice but to vote for him again.
