unfortunately, some of the land is occupied by Arabs, but we're doing what we can.

here's hoping that you can handle the stressful life here as well.

No doubt that this is crime of Secular Jews against its own nation, why they are bringing Jews from all over the world and expeling real owner of land-Palestinians?? They are putting their resources into helping Jews immigrate to and maintain the Zionist state, a battlefield where many Jews have lost their lives. God did the Jewish people a kindness when He scattered them around the world; bringing all Jews to one place only endangers them and is no blessing. "And I will bless those who bless you" (Genesis 12:3), those gentiles who welcomed Jews into their country and allowed them freedom to practice the Torah and full rights were considered friends of the Jews. Anti-Semites were those who expelled Jews from their country and wanted them elsewhere. Gentiles who wish to merit God's blessing are encouraged to continue being good neighbors to the Jews in their home countries, not send them off to the State of Israel.

to join the occupiers. But then, $10000 would buy a few greedy/gullible Jews and makes "good" headlines for Mr. Eckstein's "business" - I wonder how much he chargers for every dollar he "gives" the Iranian Jews?!!!

Why the hell is the Jewish Agency forcing these people to live in a hole like Ber Sheva? Since when does the Jewish Agency have a right to tell people where to live???

welcome home brothers and sisters!

it's a shame to give away $10,000.00 for each Iranian Jewish just to be used for a media campaign then they will be forgotten forever ...why don't you pay the same amount for Canadian jews??

Eilat is a part of Egypt...Golan is a part of Syria...Shebaa Farms is part of Lebanon..occupied by israelis

The day will come when Iran will be forced to compensate these people who fled and arrived here with so little of their money and goods.

Congratulations Rabbi Eickstein, you are ripping the material benefits of you rabbinical position. At least be true to yourself and read what Ariel and Eli Shefayim have said and here I quote: "They have a very good life in Iran. The Iranian government protects them. I am afraid they will not adjust to life in Israel." Moreover, they talked about their difficult times in your promised land. Stop using fear and bigotry to exploit people for your material benefits (How much was the kickback?) and be true to your religion. One more thing the victims of the holocaust deseve much more honour and deference than to be explotied by a self established rabbi using his position for political and material exploits

the iranian jews represent high value targets due to the power of their country that extends into the territory of Middle East...But Canada is a neutral country...has no role in the region...even the FBI , CIA , Mossad....consider the farsi language is one of the crticial langauges top listed e.g arabic , fasrsi , russian , chinese , Korean..respectively they call critical languages...heh definitely the payment isn't the same depends on who is danger...

This is exactly the kind of behavior that puts the Jews in Iran at risk. Right now they are living their lives peacefully amongst their brothers and sisters in Iran. When you offer $10,000 per head to perform 'aliyah' it will almost always be accepted among the downtrodden of whom these Jews must be. And when the Jews in Iran are treated harshly for such acts, then who is to blame? The Jewish Agency or the Iranian people? Come to Egypt and offer $10,000 to anyone to come and live in Israel and most will accept because they dream of such large amounts of money although there are not many Jews left here because of your conniving to take them to Palestine. The Jews in Egypt were perfectly happy and assimilated in our towns and cities and were furthermore the richest in the upper echelons of society, Zionist meddling put an end to that. Know this however, that the Jews you keep taking in are running out. Know that no matter how many Jews are in Israel they will never form a majority in the region and that the demographic threat which threatens you so will not be overcome by bringing in 40 Jews from Iran for want of the cash incentive. The Palestinians will succeed.

Ibrahim - when you attack and lose, the land aint yours anymore tough guy. It isn't Israel's fault the Arab armies are weak and incompetent. I'm sure there are some native Coptic Christians in Egypt who are ready to send your conquesting Arab butt back to the Arabian peninsula where you came from. Quit complaining and obsessing about Israel and get a life in Egypt...and a job too.

hope you keep up the hate, because if you wouldn`t, we are in real trouble peacw with you is the menace

Should I say this again? 1947: ARAB COUNTRIES REJECTED A 2 STATE PARTITION. YOU ARABS WERE THE ONES THAT REJECTED A STATE FOR THE PALESTINIANS, BECAUSE YOU NEVER CARED FOR THEM AND YOU STILL DON´T. Since day one, You attacked Israel to kill every single jew. since then you have carried EVERY SINGLE WAR AGAINST ISRAEL AND YOU LOST THEM ALL. STOP TERRORISM, AND SIGN PEACE. BUT NO, YOU KEEP ON TEACHING HATRED, ANTISEMITISM,READ MEIN KAMPFF IN ARABIC, AND SO ON. ISRAEL WON THE INDEPENDENCE WAR IN 1948 GET IT OVER IT. DO YOU KNOW WHY DID THE 800.000 ARABS THAT LEFT ISRAEL DURING AND AFTER THE WAR ARE STILL AFTER DECADES IN REFUGEE CAMPS? ANSWER: BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THE ARABS OF PALESTINE, AS TRUE ARABS. YOU ARAB COUNTRIES SENT THEM TO REFUGEE CAMPS FOR DECADES, LIVING IN POVERTY, SECOND CLASS CITIZENS, INSTEAD OF GIVING THEM CITIZENSHIP. JAJAJJA YOU KNOW WHAT DID ISRAEL DO WITH THE 800.000 JEWS THAT WERE EXPELLED OF ARAB COUNTRIES?? ISRAEL TOOK THEM IN, AND GAVE THEM CITIZENSHIP. THATS WHY JEWS WILL ALWAYS CONSIDER ISRAEL AS THE TRUE HAVEN FOR THE CENTURY OLD ANTISEMITISM OF EUROPEANS AND ISLAMIC NAZI FASCIST LIKE IRAN OR SYRIA. YOU ARABS CREATED THE PROBLEM. YOU ARABS LOST EVERY SINGLE WAR VS ISRAEL, YOU ARABS STILL DON´T GET IT THAT ISRAEL WANTS PEACE SINCE DAY ONE! BEN GURION SAID IT! STILL... YOU ATTACKED. THE GREAT MUFTI OF JERUSALEM MET WITH HITLER, TRAINED WAFFEN SS MUSLIM UNITS AND WANTED TO CARRY OUT IT´S OWN FINAL SOLUTION! LET ME REMIND YOU THAT CENTURIES AGO: JEWS WERE EXPELLED FROM JERUSALEM. DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME OF A COUNTRY THAT WAS: IT WAS CALLED: ISRAEL. A ROMAN EMPEROR CHANGED THE NAME TO PALESTINE IN ORDER NOT TO UPSET ANOTHER JEWISH REVOLT AGAINSTS ROMAN TROOPS.... YOU NUMER 8 AND NUMER 3 are discusting. why SHOULD ISRAEL GIVE BACK LAND THAT WAS RIGHTFULLY WON IN A WAR? IT DID SO WITH EGYPT TO SIGN PEACE THE SINAI, WHY SHOULD IT DO IT WITH SYRIA AN ANTISEMITIC WANNA BE HITLERS LOVER WITH IRAN??? FINALLY: SINCE 1948 TO 1967: THE ¨ OCUPPIED TERRITORIES¨ WERE PART OF EGYPT AND JORDAN: FIRST THEY DID NOT let any Jew get to see the Kottel. and for 19 years did they nevER TALKED ABOUT ESTABLISHING A PAL STATE IN GAZA OR WEST BANK. DO YOU KNOW WHY?: BECAUSE YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THEM, JUST LIKE 1947.... PATHETIC. LONG LIVE ISRAEL.

Of course the Rabbi is recommending that Jews leave Iran because Israel is in desperate need of immigration. The constant talk of attacking Iran is bait enough to make Iranian Jews scared, and could even be Israel's underlying reason for an attack or the constant talk for an attack. When things are going too good for Jews elsewhere in the world, unbelievably, this is a great letdown for Israel. I can remember Ariel Sharon being in New York City and inviting all American Jews to immigrate. . What really is perturbing about the Rabbi's words that he compares the Iranian regime to that of what happened in the 1930's to Germany's Jews, yett Israel has no problem in emulating that regime with its own racist laws and policies. Unfortunately, the Rabbi and too many others are blind to that.

Their citizens are reading the free Zionist press.

If Israelis are occupiers then Iranians are occupiers as well. The Jews of Persia were there LONG before todays Iranians... and second... $10,000 to start a new life is a bit better than say... $25,000 for the family, of a 'successful' suicide bomber... Case in point. You're crazy.

YOU MUSLIMS CERTAINLY KNOW OF KHYBAR OR ARE YOUR MEMORIES SELECTIVE. BESIDES YOUR "MUSLIM" CONNECTIONS ONLY DATES BACK TO THE 7th CENTURY THE JEWS HAVE A MUCH LONGER CLAIM. + YOU ATTACK YOU LOSE ALLS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR GET OVER IT.

Where as the Arabs is Arabia they cant even pronounce it correctly "B"aliestein

I really wonder to see the israeli flags in each inch of the land...this is totally abnormal..I have never ever seen it in any country except in Israel....this means that they want to convince something illegally...don't say it is a part of patriotism..coz 33% of young israelis want to live abroad and others already left israel and return their countries...this overaction means that they stole the land......coz normally in my land I don't need to prove that for anyone..

so that makes it great news anyway. But am not sure publicing this affair will bring about good tidings. Better on the quiet, theres plenty more left behind. And giving someone 10k after leaving everything behind is fully justified and commendable. #3 tries to preach to us our Torah LOL. Give it a rest you dont understand who we are and what were about. He quotes the bible to us about who gets blessed and at the same time says "expeling real owner of land-Palestinians" LOL how ignorant can one be?

I was indeed sadden to know a group of Iranian Jews left Iran. Iranian Jews have been in Iran before Islam and they have been great asset to this old nation. God bless these 40 where ever they are.

If you and your fellow Arabs would stop starting wars that you inevitably loose perhaps you wouldn't loose your wonderful territories and theire would be no 'occupies territories'. Ibrahim, there is a price to pay for aggression. It is not without risk. You loose sometimes.

Tears flowed and my eyes glistened when I read this article. I was flabbergasted. Finally, finally, my spiritual homeland, Israel, has done something useful. But, I ask, why only 200, what about the 25,000 remaining captive Jews in iran? I have tried to years to induce Israel and other activists to get them out. Iran is a barbaric place. Nothing is produced there except oil and children (both easy commodities). I know US Iranians...not Jews. They cringe when they think of the bastard mullahs who (with oil) run that once wonderful country. Like Lebanon, "The flower of the Med". Iran has been destroyed by Islamo-fascism, financed by petrol dollars. Get the Jews out of Iran, and the US out of the UN, NOW. Give Ahmad 72hrs to free the Jews (with compensation) or attack his palaces, mosques and nuke sites. Latest reports show Israel can waste 28m Iranians within 3 weeks. So? What is it waiting for, the Messiah?

You mean Israel's racist laws that allow women, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Homosexuals, and all minorities the right to vote, education, and health care? Or the racist laws that forbid that in Iran? Before you attack Israel, learn the facts.

you Zionists will claim that these immigrants were "ethnically cleansed" by the Iranian regime and you'll demand compensation for them. Happened before, hasn't it?

You spout scripture at us? If you were really knowledgeable, then you would know that Eretz Yisrael is the land from which we were expelled by the Romans 2000 years ago and towards which we have been praying and returning to these past 2,000 years.

Yes you are completely right but the next generations will pay the price...We just give a hint for solidarity with countries like Iran , Syria and groups like Hizbollah, Hamas...and the scenario takes type of Nationalism...and big it up ...Egypt has occupied land Eilat...and syria,...and Lebanon..., Iran is already encourged...."it is just a political willing not anymore"......and everything will end by force..israelis learned us it doesn't give any inch of land except by force NO peace like in 1973.....Who saved Golde meir the full airbridge of US army...the israelis had the most shocking...my three uncles were military officers told me that they catched the Israeli soldiers while they weard their civilian clothes during 1973...
