“Is it time to leave?” – she asks.

“As reports shows Europe in the same anti-semitic (nowaday as anti-zionism too) situation of the 1920’s and 1930’s…is it time to leave?”

“As the current Socialist Parties in Europe forget that in the past, ‘Nazis’ were the ‘National Socialist Party’…is it time to leave?”

“As even our friends says ‘yes, but…’…is it time to leave?”

“As our feelings are now also supported by research and statistics, so it’s not just how you or I or they might feel…is it time to leave?”

“As we sometimes hide our identity in our own communies, in the fear that we or our young children can be attacked…is it time to leave?”

“As we are now meeting only with jewish and israeli friends…to feel safe…is it time to leave?”

“As we are put down by self-proclaimed (with good intention and real belief in their position) ‘anti-fascists’ who don’t seem to understand or want to hear us…is it time to leave?”

“As universities are turning our voices down…is it time to leave?”

“As ‘progressive’ creative and arts institutions are closing the doors to who dares to disagree…is it time to leave?”

“As you start thinking on how to triple-lock your doors and windows, just in case, is it time to leave?”

“As even though you try ‘to fight’ the bias and the misinformation, you start to seriously worry for the safety of your family…is it time to leave?”

“As we are here, today, even asking that question…

…maybe it is really the time?”
