You made Aliyah out of fear..bad mistake mon ami ! Now that you are in Israel mon ami and have made Aliyah Israel's agencies and governments will keep you running around on false promiss just wait and see for yourself. Thinking of joining the Army? The IDF does not rescue trapped, kidnapped, wounded soldiers anymore, that went out in the 1980's. Thinking of moving up north? Ehud Olmert gave away the Golan and part of the kinneret to Syria last week. want to live in Jerusalem? Ehud Olmert gave away most of Jerusalem to the PLO last week. want to open a business? 70% of small and private owned businesses in Israel close after 2 years of being opened. Want to take a mortgage? You will need $250,000 for a small apartment in the city, 60% of your $250,000 mortgage is taxes check and see, you will return $730,000 to the mortgage loaner when you are finished. Children's education is free in Israel but it will cost you about 25,000 Shekels per child a year according to the latest figures for education. If you are a woman then your salary in Israel is worth 65% less that of your husbands salary. Kindergarten is anywhere from 300 shekels if you sell your soul to shas till about 2000 shekels if you sell your soul to the reformed movement but if you go to Wizo and don't mind lice then its 700, private can be up to 3000 shekels. Oh you are independent financially and have Euro's now hmm then you will want to know that the Israel government takes 15% on interest from savings accounts. Thanks for making Aliyah mon Ami.

Are you thinking of moving south? If you are moving south it would be wise you build a bunker as your home cause uncle Kasam visits often, i hope you like the color red. Did you have police in France i hope not, if you did then you will miss them cause in Israel the police are not visible unless you are law abiding. Crime no we don't have any, we leave that to the youth they cause it well see the IBA news and see for yourself. Animal cruelty yeah sure we have lots of that here in Israel, most people torture and abuse animals here cause its free, and it is ok cause they abuse the elderly, handicapped and the Nazi war camp survivors so what is a couple of dogs. Thanks for making Aliyah mon Ami now i can go back to Quebec..je mais souvienne.

The answer, of course, is that Israel has stolen their land - there is nothing for them to return to. I can't believe that this gentleman feels safer in Israel than in France; when Musharraf falls, you will all die

Hey Gaz hope your enjoying life in the strip. You could be living in comfort but your sad leaders would rather buy guns than build houses. Israel is already free Mo, haven't you heard. Keep writing though so people can see there is no real partner for peace. Thanks Mark from Geogia

Yous should take a course to refresh your french before coming back...

Jerusalem was freed in 1967. Please read history. Just goes to show who is right (Jews) and who is wrong (you).
