It's my understanding that it is occurring naturally on its own, anyways?
A few reporting I've heard on Israel describes a state filled with dual-citizenship inhabitants that are used to first-world standard and would rather leave the country than deal with inconveniences. I oversimplify here, but who really wants to live in a genocidal state? Whether you're on board or not with the genocide, it's still a massive point of friction with neighbors.
About 10 million people apparently.
There's a significant issue of younger Israelis emigrating from Israel due to that friction, though I don't know the exact numbers.
It's a few tens of thousands, not a huge number, but significant for a small country. Also not necessarily younger ones. Families are moving out too. Greece is the first destination at the moment.
I think that the fact that youths and families are leaving is a much worse demographic crisis than it might seem at first glance. It's literally the future of the country that is leaving.
It's definitely looking dire for Israel, just on a demographic level.
Seems unlikely you'll get more than half of people leaving "naturally." Or at least, "naturally" is going to look more and more like "coerced" over the years if progress is made.
I'm not sure I understand what you are implying by
if progress is made
. Progress on what, exactly?Progress on ending genocide. If there is progress, then those responsible will be leaving or facing their war crimes. Hopefully both.
Without "if progress is made," my statement would have read:
but I don't believe this, since my expectation is that the status quo will remain.
