Now I'd also like to see that accompanied by Jews having more children and bringing more people back to Judaism. There must be at least 20 million people worldwide that can come home to Judaism. Best defense against Islamofascist is much larger worldwide Jewish population, especially in Israel, but true in the diaspora as well.

the fact that immigration could rise from last year surprises me. however, this will be more a product of solidarity then practicality, especially with the latest conflict.

Great so Israel has managed to entice 22000 new immigrants to come to settle in israel. But what about the 25000 Israelis that have left the country this year and the 19000 that have left in the 2 years previously

There are, perhaps, thousands and thousands of Anusim and Jews claiming descendancy from the Lost Tribes (for example, in India - The B'nai Menashe). If there were a way to get them all to come here, it would be fantastic. And as to those Israelis who left, I understand that many are returning.

Every jew went to israel like they were supposed to after ww2. Talk about heaven!!!

I wish them well, but Israel's attempts to boost its population are futile. More land must be given to the Palestinians to accommodate their growing numbers.

Chaya - I hope you're right about Israelis returning. I have seen it in smaller numbers (returning Israelis) - but it would be wonderful if thousands returned...

Many of the lost tribes went to the New World. The Fugawes, the Sosumis, the Whatsitoya..

This are two beautiful reasons to make aliyah. May you all have a sucessful aliyah!

ya, it's great, more people go to Israel, enjoy the easy system of processing documents, taking the passport, and bye bye, off we go to US. or Canada. suckers!!

just as good

If all what is promissed them are wars, death and destruction and now rockets falling from the sky, why on earth would you want to stay?

On Wings of Eagles helps rescue Jews from countries of distress where they struggle daily against anti-Semitism and battered economies. Every time another Jew returns “home,” biblical prophecy is fulfilled and Israel’s resolve and ability to stand strong in the face of terrorism is strengthened. On Wings of Eagles helps bring one person home to Israel for a gift of $350. In addition to helping with costs to relocate to Israel, these funds are stretched to cover immediate resettlement costs. Remember, every gift of $350 is acknowledged with a postcard including the name of the émigré you helped. God Bless www.ifcj.org

Armageden

The US has quietly built over 600 concentration camps over the last 20 years. http://www.texemarrs.com/122002/concentration_camps_in_america.htm http://www.freedomfiles.org/war/fema.htm

of all those leaving from the usa?/ good riddance,let the jews,be amongst other jews?/

God bless Israel and America.

Whay must more land go to the Palistinians? It is Israeli land to include the West bank. Let them find another land from the rest of their Muslim compadres.

Jerry, You are living up to your part of the country's ignorant, bumpkin stereotypes.

The gathering for Armageddon. More will immigrate to Israel but more than come will leave. The new wave of immigration is the gathering of the faithful. The ones that will wait for the end of the World and the retrieving of the saints. Any Jew that has common sense must be planning to relocate somewhere else. Where is safe for the times to come. The Jewish people should survive. Beyond the foolish of it leaders. They should come to the new world as Christopher Columbus foresaw. The Caribbean is the only place safe for the Jews to be in the now time. Help us the Caribs to develop and secure our domain and we will give you sanctuary. As my Great Uncle Trujillo did during War World II

Jerry, if you are an American, I would say you should use your own logic and leave America, as I am guessing you arent a Native American.. So you should move back to the country your own family came from.

I wish they'll get their heads blowed up It's better to die than come back.

Jessica Don't be so hasty to call all of us in "my" part of the country , "ignorant bumpkins". I believe that the Jewish homeland should be bigger than it is now because that was God's covenant with Abraham. I truly believe the Jewish people will prevail over all their enimies because God said it would be so. Try not to be so judgemental because there is only one true Judge and He's not from Boston.

I wish I were younger, and able to go to Israel. Compared with the US, I think Israel is the way we in the states should be, with regard to crime, the court system, illegal immigrants (they have any?) and their attitute of "Screw the world. We have a right to exist".

I'm surprised you can see to type through your bhurka. You live in Hollywood yet you say Jews were Supposed to move to Israel? Well then, perhaps you can't handle a country like America with so many different types of people and should go someplace where you won't be bothered by people that are different than you. I hear Yemen is nice in August.

I'm sure you expected this from an ignorant comment made by yourself... I can truly say immigration back to a homeland is a blessing from whatever ethnic background you may follow (if warranted and free of War and Poverty).... But you Sir, are as ignorant as most Americans due to your comments.... You fall into the same sludge as other Americans with a mind of a 5 year old... The only true Americans are those of native descent and that were here before any other European, Africaan, or Asian ever set foot..... America has become the center of mixing, in which you come to this country to be free, an American with opportunities.... You Sir again are amongst those who make the rest of the world HATE Americans..... not just the government of America!

If you believe that America is making concentration camps for Christians and Jews, you really should have yourself examined. As for Jews heading back to Israel, nothing could be more exciting. That country is theirs and they have the right to possess it.

This is great news that so many Jews are coming home. As far as prophetical concerns, Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 clearly show divine intercession from heaven above against Israel's enemies. I also read somewhere that Damascus will be turned into rubble. So much for the world's oldest city!

If Israel agrees to take all the Jews in the United States maybe we will release Jonathan Pollard to you. That should just about fulfill your request for an additional 20 million. P.S.......do Ethiopian Jews and converts count?

What garbage? How many young US soldiers died in Europe (including my uncle) to rid the world of Facism yet we are creating concentration camps? I think the USA has done nothing but support the Jews of Israel yet you are the first people to spit in our eyes. Try surviving 6 months without the billions infused by the USA into your borderline welfare economy. Sneaky, cunning, and sly are not just stereotypes of the "chosen people". Ha!!
