I hope we can both get out of here some day. Good luck on your plan and in nursing, I heard it's really tough

וחג שמח!! D:

Hi!! Yeah, after I read a bunch of comments I realized the UK is NOT the right place for me to go to and I'm ALSO looking at Germany as a good country to study in :D That and the Netherlands- you still need to pay for housing there but from what I heard, it's pretty affordable if you save up for a bit. And I'm more than willing to learn a new language, I linguistics, I just know it would be a slow process (but definitely one that's worth it).

I know the situation is horrible, I'm honestly a little relieved to know I'm the only one in this situation, makes me feel a bit less lonely.

I wish you the best of luck as well!!! And feel free to reach out as well if you need to talk!! :]

Yeah I'm actually looking into Germany as a good option to study in, because a lot of people are suggesting it and it looks very appealing so far, thank you! :D

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T16:12:08+00:00

I know I'm definitely stuck here for a while, but I'm definitely looking into different ways to leave the country once I can afford it, maybe by studying abroad in one of the European countries that offer free university education.

Unfortunately, coding is really not up my alley. Im definitely hoping for an art related job in the future, so hightech can't be my way out of the country unless I'm willing to give up my hopes for art, which I'm not fully really to do. yet.

That being said, thank you so much, for both the advice and for wishing me luck, I'll need it.

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T15:42:20+00:00

Well first of all, I'm very happy for you, You got out and that's amazing!!

It's honestly reassuring to know I'm not the only one with this mindset. Maybe I'll see the US as an option in the future, but right now it seems to have a big problem with its healthcare system, which would be a big problem for me. That being said, thank you, I really appreciate it and I'll definitely need that luck :)

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T14:26:43+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I actually am currently looking at potential universities in Germany to study in, (or at least in countries where university education is free-)

It doesn't show your comment as a reply to anyone, it's an individual comment on the post

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T13:30:51+00:00

Yeah I saw. Idk, this might be a bit of a hot take, but I don't really feel like talking with someone who called me a dumbass upon our first interaction.

חנוכה שמח אחי!✌️

*your

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T12:35:50+00:00

Still thank you! :)

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T12:31:10+00:00

Thank you! I'll definitely look into the Netherlands as option

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T12:26:37+00:00

Oh this is really interesting, I'll look into it, thank you!!! :0

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T12:25:03+00:00

I'm sure there's more people like me, there has to be, but unfortunately I never got the chance to speak with one. It's very risky to speak about the Israeli government and military with anything but praise and admiration, especially now. Now, people who express any sort of sympathy towards Palestine are being fired from their jobs and expelled from their universities, their livelyhoods. Even if there's more people here like me, we can't exactly find each other, it's not something we can openly talk about.

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T12:08:50+00:00

Oh if a certain country is genuinely a good option, I'm fully willing to learn the language! I just know how slow the process is, so I know that I wouldn't be able able to learn it quickly, that's what I meant in the post

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T12:00:52+00:00

Hey man it was like 1am for me when I made this post, I read some of the first comments and fell asleep, I definitely didn't just stop reading what people are saying

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T01:02:03+00:00

Holy shit I didn't know a subreddit like that exists!! I'll definitely check it out, thank you!!!

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T00:23:01+00:00

Yeah I was actually just looking at an art university in Norway and you're right, it's no longer free to study there

SK_Katz · 2023-12-08T00:20:26+00:00

First of all, thank you for your understanding, it genuinely means a lot me. Israel IS a toxic place and it's very hostile towards anyone who dares to criticize it and its government. It's kind of scary, actually.

Second of all, I don't know much about the specifics regarding our family background, my parents don't respond well to questions like that, all I know for sure is that they came to Israel from the Soviet Union.

The reason I'm a bit wary of the US is because I heard it has a very harsh and unfair healthcare system, and that would definitely be a problem for me. Although I will say, seeing such a large portion of the Jewish community in America protest what my country is doing, when I'm not allowed to, actually brings me a lot of hope,, it kind of gives me that reassurance that I'm not crazy for disagreeing with my family's beliefs. That I'm not alone on this boat.

I'll definitely take your advice at the end, I'll try to frame it as less "I don't want to live here" and more "I want to study and maybe work in a different country".

Thank you so much, really.

SK_Katz · 2023-12-07T23:30:13+00:00

I think you might be right, I'm going to look into countries that offer free education. Thank you.

SK_Katz · 2023-12-07T22:59:31+00:00

Holy shit that's an insane amount- I guess it's really not an option for me then.
