I am an Israeli citizen living in US. I won`t speak for all but for myself. Even if I am abroad I still consider myself Israeli as well as American. We grieve every Israeli death, we celebrate every victory. I tell you, maybe katyushas didn`t fall on my head that month of war was the most difficult time in my life. It is also false that we do not participate or help. This difficult year I donated almost 15% of my not so big income to AMDA and LIBI funds.

As for the reason why we are abroad every one has his personal motives or reasons. The same by the way as people have from other places. I work for the company of less then 200 people and we have representatives of 27 countries.
