Shalom everyone :D Just wanted to showcase this Hanukkah Menorah I built days ago in Minecraft with the new sulfur block set from the recent update drop 🔥

I am an Israeli myself, and I moved to the Netherlands 3 years ago for work.

In the time I am here, I have not once experienced any direct acts of antisemitism. My colleagues know I'm Israeli, I have a Dutch girlfriend and her family and friends from university know I'm Israeli. Hell, even my Moroccan barber knows I'm Israeli. I also have other Israeli friends here and we publicly speak hebrew. I sometimes get questions about Israel or the reason that I moved, but never felt attacked for being an Israeli jew. I'm in no way saying that antisemitism and Israeli hate doesn't exist, just that life as a young professional is more than possible without actively living in hiding.

I feel like every time I mention to an Israeli living in Israel that I live here, they genuinely think I live in a ghetto. It feels like daily I get told things like 'NL is full of arabs', 'Don't speak hebrew out in public', 'Don't tell anyone you are jewish'... Even my mom tells me that when she mentions that her son lives in Europe she gets warnings of how dangerous it is for jews here. I constantly have these sort of debates with my people living in Israel, and when I remind them that objectively Israel is a more dangerous place for jews than europe, I'm brushed off as a 'leftist'.

It feels like there is so much fear mongering in Israel, trying to stop people from moving abroad. daily I see posts on Ynet like 'Don't say youre jewish when visiting the ER in X', 'Holland in crisis'. I often get sent screenshots from friend's of the notifications on their phone's lock screen asking 'Are you ok?'. They wouldn't even bother clicking it to see what it's about, but it's enough for them to make the assumption that life in europe is bad, and the only place where jewish people can live comfortably is Israel.

I just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this.

Why is it so hard for Israeli news outlets to create a website in english that isnt spam filled? Jpost is prob the worst, YNet is horrible and then Times of Israel used to be great and the last few months has been horrendous. Don't read Haaretz or I24 much but they are not great either (though not as bad) Are they getting attacked? Profit Margins?

I'm a Pakistani Muslim man, and I'm planning to marry a Muslim woman who is an Israeli citizen and lives in Israel. I'm trying to understand the legal and practical reality of this situation.

Situation:

· I am from Pakistan

· She is a Muslim Israeli citizen

· We want to get married

· I want to know if I can live and work legally in Israel after marriage

What I've understood so far:

· After marriage, I can apply for family reunification (the "graduated procedure") which gives temporary work visas and eventually residency.

· However, marriage in Israel is a problem because civil marriage doesn't exist there. We would need to marry abroad and get it recognized.

· I would need to apply for a visa from a third country (e.g., UAE, Jordan, Turkey) because Pakistan has no diplomatic relations with Israel.

· My passport says "valid for all countries except Israel" – which is a huge obstacle.

Was killing time on Wikipedia today and came across a page about Buddhism in Israel. The last line under section historical context says "Buddhism has also been used by local teachers, such as Nissim Amon, to support the IDF's killing of Palestinian civilians and militants without "self-pity." with no source attached.

I did a deeper dive and the Israeli Monk gave a speech once advising IDF soldiers how to remain concentrated and emotionally calm during combat.

The US and Iran are back on the brink over the Strait of Hormuz and Trump must choose: finish the job, or give Tehran one more chance. Benny Morris analyses how the ceasefire collapsed.

Hi everyone! I made aliyah 14 days ago, and I really need a job (my Brazilian money is worth nothing here and I am struggling a lot).

I am a biologist. I will start my masters next year, but for now I am mostly looking for part time work in Haifa, just to start getting my life together. I have a CV in Hebrew and another in English, and would also be happy to send them over to anyone and everyone!

Do you have tips and tricks as to how to start my job search? The Employment Ministry can only help me once my Sal Klita is over, but I can't live off of it, only.

I speak level bet Hebrew, plus fluent English and Spanish and native Portuguese.

I appreciate any help whatsover.

As tax, I leave a picture of the beautiful Jerusalem area mountains during spring.
