You’re right, and there are indeed some left-leaning Israelis that live there, have a hard time getting out, and oppose the majority. There is, however, a very supportive pipeline out for most in that most have family elsewhere that will sponsor their emigration and extensive diaspora communities to support them. The percentage of left leaning Israelis that remain Israeli is very small because it’s relatively easy for them to leave compared to many countries, and in recent history they’ve enjoyed relative freedom of movement in wealthy western countries. It’s a unique situation. Meanwhile there’s a number of programs within Israel and in other countries to help encourage more nationalist-minded Jewish people from around the world to resettle in Israel.
The part that’s hard for some people to wrap there head around is that there’s actually institutional infrastructure to aid inward migration of right wingers and outward migration of everyone else, so you kind of have a distilled right-wing oriented culture within the country. It’s not a normal circumstance that you would find in most places where there’s a high level of social and institutional friction that keeps the ratio more balanced. The ones stuck are the ones with so little social and financial means, they’re politically too marginal to matter. I’m definitely sympathetic to those poor souls, but numerically, politically, and culturally too insignificant to count. There’s a better than 90% chance if you meet an Israeli, they’re proud of what their government is doing. That by no means reflects the sentiment of Jews worldwide
