Report: more than 13% of Israel�s Jewish population have immigrated to US

Occupied Jerusalem - More than 650,000 Israeli Jews, or 13% of the Zionist state�s Jewish population, have immigrated to the United States and other countries, according to an Israeli press report.

According to a report published Sunday in the mass circulation Hebrew newspaper Yedeot Ahranot, New York and Los Angeles have the main concentration of Israeli Jewish immigrants, with about 150,000 and 115,000 Israeli Jewish residents respectively.

The paper, quoting recent statistics by the Israeli foreign Ministry, also pointed out that there were significant concentrations of Israeli Jews in Miami, San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Israel�s population stands now at 6.7 million, including nearly 1.3 million Arabs, and around half a million non-Arab Christians and disguised Muslims, mainly immigrants from the former Soviet Union.

Of the 650,000 Israeli Jews living overseas, the Israeli foreign Ministry found that most were permanent emigrants, e.g. people who have lived outside Israel together with their families for at least four years.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry study indicates that the reasons given by emigrants for leaving Palestine include the Palestinian intifada and the difficult economic situation.

Since the outbreak of the Palestinian uprising against Israel�s colonialist occupation of the Palestinian homeland, per capita income in the Zionist state has fallen about $3000 a year and unemployment reach 11%.

The Israeli press reported on Monday that Israel lost nearly $ 8 billion dollars as a result of the Intifada.

Interesting, Cold

That appears counterintuitive to the philosophy of Zionism, but what are we to know about the real motives of emigrants?

* Palestinian intifada
* Economy

are the two reasons apparently most given.

I can think of others but I'm not in the situation, and I don't know how many might disapprove of hardline policies, or be escaping out of fear of something bigger.

What about immigration (inflow) and net migration? Is there much inward flow?

Well i think this stinks, is not normal all these people emmigrating all in once, i mean the reason for all those people to move? Were they "normal jews" or VERY RICH ones? 650.000 is a lot of people. Does that really hurt the economy of israel?

Just take a look, just a little overview:

The Zionist parliament�s financial committee is expected to ratify an allocation of 4.8 million dollars to finance Jewish settlements in the Palestinian areas occupied in 1967 and in the occupied Syrian Golan heights.

Hebrew press reports said that the additional sum of money would be allocated for the settlement section in the international Zionist Histadrut responsible for establishing Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

The money would be allocated to financing settlements in Al-Khalil district, in Gush Qatif in Gaza Strip and in the occupied Golan heights.

The money would be deducted form the budget earmarked for development of the Negev desert areas and Jewish settlements there.

Enjoy the read

I like how you say things like "The Zionist parliament", and ""normal jews" or VERY RICH ones".

Thanks for keeping it objective.

I suppose the first two posters in this thread would find the Irish evil too.

More of the Irish have emigrated than their total population.

Leveller

I have never said anything about emigrants being evil.

Part of my family background has involved forced emigration over three generations.

Well, going by thier standards, everyone here evil except for pure blooded Indians, for they all immigrated here. Why did they come here? probably because here they don't have to worry about being blown up while fueling up the car or going to school or actually being in school. Don't have to worry about a car driving down the road suddenly turning into a book store and blowing up.

Maybe they are escaping terrorism and the people who want back land they never had. Funny, isn't it? Egypt and Jordan have the land, no Palestinians. Isreal formed again, Palestinians pop up wanting their land back. Where were they when Egypt and Jordan controlled it? Also, we lose 2,000+ in a attack, we blow up half the world. Isreal loses200,000+ people in two years and are yelled at if they kill two terrorist leaders with a missle.

Wait, that's not funny, that's F'ed up.

only 13% thats nothing, theres more samoans living in NZ then in samoa.

More than 1 million Russians have moved to Israel since break up of the Soviet union.. They are Jews of course..

Well, hey if you weren't allowed to practice your religion in public for fear of being killed, and you were finally able to leave... wouldnt you?

Irish and Samoans arent running international conspiracies and cartels like the Zionists. Thus thier immigration has little to do with more dire and far reaching issues.

Thanks for the post, Cold, its something to coonsider, and watch in te comming days.
