Asti,

First of all, I must ask you, and any other commentators, to forgive my English mistakes and blunders. I'm writing from a computer that does not support Hebrew, and which Interface Language I do not speak.

As for your question - the two have merged into one.
The array of reasons which I have reflected in the article, combined with several other personal reasons, have brought me to the point where I stand in complete and utter lack of will to remain in Israel.
I can assure you that if my reasoning for leaving was as trivial as "I would rather live in <Insert Western country here>", I would not have bothered all of you with this article.
I wrote this article out of a sense of true emergency, and despair.
I feel that the Israeli culture has been severely damaged due to the 35 year long Occupation, and corruption of collective and personal moral standards.
As I wrote in the article - Escapist Culture is a moral crime in this situation.

Also, I'm no fool - I will try to immigrate to a place where I can live a happy and joyful life, but more importantly - at peace with my conscience. Naturally, I would prefer a Western Democracy over anything else.
But I can not overlook the true statement you have made in the last part of your response - I feel true sorrow and sympathy for the people in Israel who feel like me, but are unable to manifest it in the way that I could. They are an addition to the ever growing toll of victims in this bloody conflict.

As for your comment in a latter reply, about the Israeli culture - it is certainly not true.
A small example to prove it will be that out of the 20+ KG I was allowed to take with me on the plane, about 50% were of Poetry and Literature in Hebrew.
In fact, while you are out looking for any incriminating info in my past responses, I suggest that you look for the one where I said that one of the main reasons that keep me in Israel is my connection to the language and local culture. (I think I said it with agreement to something similar that Dubi wrote)

I promise to reply to some of the other responses in a short time - Please be patient.

P.S. - If I could Copy&Paste Nathanel Yefet´s response written in my name, I would have. (with minor changes, I don't like the "GASHASHIM").
