My 7 cents

I don’t think your “obsession” with Israelis and others’ dislike/ whatever you want to call it has anything to how long you’ve been living out of Israel – but to your personal experience and like/dislike to Israel, Israelis and everything that comes with it – and more than anything – to how Israeli you are. I’ve left Israel almost 3 years ago, and never missed it for a second. Never looked for Israeli friends down here – not coz I hate Israelis but because many other reasons – because I don’t give a damn about my friends’ place of birth or religion, and more than that – because usually I actually don’t get along with most of them too well – at some point there’s a discussion about Israel, and I find that most Israelis love it and miss it – the place, the culture, the language – everything – heaps, while I never likes Israel, not even while I was still living there, and have major issues with social, religious, economical and other issues – not to talk about what’s going in Palestine, I never found any other Israeli that hold similar views to mine other than in this forum. So I don’t think that in 3 years suddenly I will miss Israel – and there are others here, like Ro, that left Israel yonks ago and don’t miss it. Maybe you are just very Israeli and can’t find yourself and your happiness out of there – is it only Israeli boys that you miss or the whole lot? Because I can tell you that my partner is an Aussie and I’ve got no qualms and our different backgrounds cause no problems whatsoever – I don’t think that an Israeli would understand me any better – the only difference is that an Israeli whould say IMA when I say MARCO and not POLO like she does
and really, I don’t care that much about that! Heheheh But maybe you really should think about what you are looking for in your life and what will bring you happiness, because searching for an Israeli boyfriend in Canada and thinking that your life is dull doesn’t sound like fun to me… it sounds like you need a change… PS – can you see that I’m following Ro and starting my psychology studies next year? hehehehe​

u guys seem not to understand me

It is not that i miss israel like the way that i miss few specific things. I was there 3 weeks ago and i was still lost and confused and was counting the days till i come back to Canada where i am used to. Maybe, I am wrong and you are right....maybe it's the whole change and the big move from Montreal to Toronto, it was more of a culture shock for me then moving from israel to canada. I realized last night that what I miss the most is actually montreal. Even the israeli friends that I have here/there were not really israeli...they were either born here,or barely speak hebrew etc... but still there was something charming... about their "israeliness" and also don't put words in my mouth like when you said that"because I don’t give a damn about my friends’ place of birth or religion" come on...in that case i would never have friends. I already said that my friends are not israeli nor jewish so don;'t say that I choose them according to place of birth or religion... my best friends are canadian, bahraini, french, mecedonian etc... so please, I am approaching it in a different angle, i miss something different about israelis (and right now I don't even know what it is)... so again, maybe it's just montreal that i miss and about that I can't do anything till next year at least... one thing you were right about....I do need a change and please...let's stop talking about this subject...I am tired of it and tired of explaining myself

קנדה1979 יקר ../images/Emo39.gif

אף אחד פה לא יורד עליך. אנחנו פשוט מתדיינים איתך בפתיחות ובכנות. כך אנחנו עושים בדרך כלל פה. תמיד מדברים על דברים לעומק ומנסים להגיע להבנה יותר טובה. אולי נראה לך שאנחנו בכלל לא מבינים אותך, אבל אנחנו פשוט מנסים להאיר צדדים אחרים של מה שאתה אומר. אין פה האשמות נגדך או שום חשיבה שלילית עליך. אתה במקום עם חברים פה (טוב, חלק מאיתנו עם כשרון לציניות וסרקאזם, אבל זה די מחוייב במקום גיי...), אז בבקשה אל תעלב או תרגיש מחוייב להפסיק לדבר. אנחנו אומרים את מה שיש לנו להגיד, בדרך כלל מבוסס על נסיון אישי שלנו ומה שלמדנו בעצמנו, ואתה לא מחוייב לעשות שם דבר עם המידע הזה. פשוט מנסים לעזור. אתה יודע? אולי יש לי נסיון קצת דומה לשלך. כשעזבתי את הארץ עברתי לגור בעיר הולדתי, לונדון. גרתי שם שנים, אבל לפני 10 שנים בערך עברתי לגור בהולנד. ואז חוויתי את שוק התרבות שאתה מזכיר. היה לי קשה מאוד להסתגל: למנטליות, לאנשים, לסביבה. והרגשתי ניכור ובדידות. אבל - וכאן ההבדל ביננו - מכיון שאף פעם לא היו לי געגועים או אהבת יתר לארץ, הבנתי מיד שלונדון חסרה לי. לקח לי לא מעט זמן למצוא שוב את הרגליים פה וכיום מצבי שונה לגמרי. אבל, בכל זאת, אני מתכננת בעתיד לחזור ללונדון. מקווה שזה עוזר לך לדעת את זה.

I reckon...

(and again, I alone, and don't take it as an advice) that the problem is also partly that you don't know what you miss. You miss the language? That's understandable. You find Israelis good in bed? I might not really understand why, but to each his own taste. You find that "israeliness" has a certain charm, and more to the point, probably israeliness in Canada, not in Israel. With Israelis in Canada you don't only share a nationality, but also the fast you're all different. I have no idea what it's like in North-America or Australia, but being Israeli in this part of the globe (probably more in Sweden than anywhere else) is not just "being a foreigner" or "being different". I don't miss Israel, i don't miss Israelis etc. etc., Israel has never been an option or home for me, even though I spent there my first 18 years and one more army year afterwards. But I do know how it's like to be moving (a lot) and not having a home, a partner or anything of that sort. What you describe is also a general gay thing. Usually also happens to people who move from a very small and closed place (and Montreal is not really big either) to a very big, sleazy gay city. It's hard to find a partner, and the search doesn't really look like searching either. So I guess it all comes down to the same point. At the end, you'd have to either get over it or get back to Israel. These things usually develop into little monsters (and I know a few good examples who sounded exactly like you at first and then developped all kinds of obsessions). But then again, I probably missed quite a bit from the large picture.
