I’m Jewish in South Africa- I’m done with the antisemitism. What can I do?

Questions 🤓

Hey everyone, I'm a Jewish dual citizen of Israel and South Africa! https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/south-africas-foreign-minister-says-citizens-fighting-with-israeli-forces-in-gaza-will-be-arrested

...yeah

South Africa is where my job and family is, but as this place is getting more and more problematic for Israelis and Jews- I've been considering my options.

I take care of my nephew so I don't know if it would be possible to do Aliyah cuz I have custody of him, but he technically is still his moms (at least for now- court procedures are proceduring)

I'm a father of my own kids- a 7 year old and a 5 year old. I don't want them to grow up in a country that calls for their nation's extermination.

I don't know how this is going to proceed. I served my conscription in the past, but not anytime recently- am I in danger? I don't know.

So yeah, I'm really considering returning- but with the war and the teriffs against us from America and everything else idk what to do. If anyone else is from a hostile country, what are your experiences with returning. Should I abolish my South African citizenship all together and move to Israel? Should I stay here? I don't know. Any advice would be appreciated
