Is there anything good about Israel?

Well, there's something very good about the land of Israel and that's the holiness, where it hasn't been reduced or eliminated by all the sin of the state.

The Charedi communities are good, but that doesn't mean you should move to one of them from a Western country because it won't be good for you. You'll lose many mitzvos and probably will not be able to deal with the stress, poverty, etc.

Kevrei tzadickim are good, but most people here rarely go to them. I know people who seem to never to go, not to kever Rachel, not to Hebron. Years go by, and they never go. Part of the reason is those places are hard to get to, and dangerous.  Visitors to Israel see those places more than the residents do.  And Chutz has those too, especially Eastern Europe. 

I won't say the state has been good in giving Jewish refugees a safe haven, because Israel isn't safe, and because the Zionists closed off entry into Western countries that were taking them in. As for Ethiopians, they weren't halachically Jewish. Obviously converts are. One million Russian goyim are not.

The state also took a quarter of a trillion dollars from America and directed it to itself. Could have gone to Jewish causes. 

It's not an entirely terrible society but it's a big step down for Americans, British, French, Australians, etc. So don't move here.
