A new movement is trying to recruit ten thousand Israelis to leave the country with them following the election results. The group known as "Leaving the Land - Together", defined an initial target of about ten thousand Israeli immigrants.
One of the leaders of the group, Yaniv Gorelik, was in the past a key activist in protests against Netanyahu and is considered a prominent social activist against religious coercion. Another activist is Mordechai (Motti) Kahana, an Israeli-American businessman, and philanthropist. A few days ago, Kahana tweeted, "After years of smuggling Jews from war zones in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, and Ukraine to Israel, I have decided to help Israelis move to the US."

Kahana is considered an activist among a group of Israeli-Americans who ran in the recent elections for the World Zionist Congress, and finally received enough votes to send one representative to the Congress in Israel.
"The members of the Israeli-American party thought I was a bit extreme, I told them it was time to offer the Zionist movement an alternative in case the situation in Israel continues to worsen. I do not wish for our country to be destroyed, but what would happen if it were destroyed?", he claimed.
יש לי רעיון לסטרטאפ 🌍

According to him, "I see great brotherly hatred and I see the Iranians with the precision missiles aimed at Israel. Two thousand years ago it was exactly the same." Kahana also suggested donating half of the funds of the National Fund for Jewish Education in North America, "because we are half of the Jewish people," and “Jewish education should be free or at least subsidized.”
Israel's incoming government is overrun with corruption, headed by an indicted defendant attempting to evade justice, joined by extremists and convicted criminals. Israel is in immediate danger of losing its Democracy.

Kahana received dozens of requests from Israelis for immigration assistance, however, most of them were those running small technology companies that wish to move their offices to the US. "I saw people in the WhatsApp group talking about the immigration of Israelis to Romania or Greece, but I personally think It is much easier for them to immigrate to the USA. I have a huge farm in New Jersey and I offered the Israelis to join in order to turn my farm into a kibbutz."
"With such a government in Israel, the American government should allow every Israeli who owns a company or has a sought-after profession in the US, such as doctors and pilots, to immigrate to the US," he wrote.
Does it intend to help the current political situation in Israel? if yes, not sure how it helps

Kahana is among the few who believe that the Jewish people never knew how to rule their country and are destined to live in the Diaspora. "The Second Temple was destroyed because of hatred which is similar to what is happening in Israel in 2022," he said.
