You exhibit the same arrogance that you accuse Rosner of exhibiting. I'm afraid y'all exhibit a rather myopic  view of what Israel really is. Problems? Yeah we got 'em. Arrogance? Yup. But Israel, like any other country, is not some kind of monolithic entity populated exclusively by macho men and foaming at the mouth reactionaries. We're a complex but sublime combination of people, a living laboratory engaged in one of the most unique national experiments in the history of mankind. For real. So rec, you're free to haul your ass anywhere you like. Raise your children however and wherever you see fit. Good luck with that. I've spent enough time in the diaspora, I know what that's all about. I choose Israel. I don't expect praise and I don't think I am smarter or better than anyone. But somehow your words are just not reflective of my experience. Nothing would make me happier than to see my children grow up in this remarkable country.
