1. Aliyah But With Reservations
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. USA   (12.28.06)
There are 1m Jews who are willing to relocate to Israel from the Diaspora., with many being under 30 years of age. Hundreds of thousands of young Jews are willing to fight, and if need be, die for their spiritual homeland, Israel. Yet, little is constructively being done by Israel and the US, etc. to foster this migration. What are needed are jobs, jobs, jobs. When we see the Gaza Strip Jews still needing homes and employment, and the wishy washy nature of the Israeli leadership (with prisoners about to be released by the hundreds who have blood (Jewish) on their hands), what are we to think?
2. Answer to your question, no 1:

You will be able to influence Israel, from within. By choosing the right government, by getting others to invest in Israel, by teaching your children about the country, and work to embrace and get embraced in the Israeli society. There are many jobs in Israel. It is not New York, but that's a very good place for investment, especially if you're Jewish. And by the way, yes, the Israelis will love to see you in Tel-Aviv very much. It is not the people's fault that the government has acted like a loser in Lebanon. Come and help, to make another slight change, in the right direction.
3. Youth will enlist to fight...With promise of good future !
RCA ,   USA   (12.29.06)
It's much easier psychologically to fight for a cause when potential enlistees know that their leaders are of the highest competence, skill and professionalism. Stories comming out of Israel as of late do not describe people at the top with these attributes unfortunately. When most people distrust their leaders it's usually for a reason, and there are troubles ahead. The only way to restore faith in the dream and peoples trust , is to do the right things, correct problems and stop alienating Jews from the system, both within Israel and in the Diaspora. Great dreams are for people to latch onto, along with the comradery of the struggle, and the armament of knowledge that efforts will deliver IMPACT!!! This to a future rewarding life.
