yes, we french jews are very very happy here. we have freedom, jobs, friends and we are in a jewish country. other jews in france fear for their lives because of arab muslim gangs that beat them, burn their synagogues and burn and murder jews in france, like halimi, poor jew that was kidnapped, burned and murdered by people like muslims like you. idiot!

6. #2,3 4,000 American made their way to Israel in 2009
observer   (12.26.09)
that is 1000 above average; for it seems that the economic crisis is more American than global. looking for Jobs, freedom ... and American aid. HaHaHa! Those are true born Jews, not Russian one.

you just asked? you just wondered? why would you wonder or even be surprised that any normal human being that loves democracy, a beautiful job, life, freedom of religion, a stable government, a non violent society, a tolerant society and a beautiful developed modern country would come live in that country...israel. i do not see anyone standing in lines at the turkish, arab, lebanese, egyptian, syrian, uae, abu dhabi, saudi arabia, jordanian embassies...standing in line to ask for visas to emigrate to the above countries. BUT THEY DO COME TO ISRAEL...IN THE THOUSANDS, RUNNING AWAY FROM ARAB VIOLENCE ALL OVER EUROPE, RUNNIG AWAY FROM ALL ARAB AND ISLAMIC INTOLERANCE, VIOLENCE, MURDER, SHOOTING, ANTISEMITISM, ETC... FROM ALL ARAB GANGS IN EUROPE. RUNNIG TO FREEDOM AND FREEDOM AND FREEDOM. FINALLY. do you see anyone running to your turkish embassy to get a visa to live there, or at any other muslim arab embassy and country??? do you know why??? because no one wants to live in a police state, with corruption, murders, bombings, terrorism, intollerance of other religion except islam. most people want to live in a free well developed and democratic society...which israel is! and yes, only an idiot will ask the question that you asked. come to israel to see for yourself. YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO GO BACK TO TURKEY, I CAN ASSURE YOU.
8. #2 French Jews
Sagi ,   Tel Aviv   (12.26.09)
French Jews hang around in Tel Aviv area. They look very Middle Eastern as most of them are actually Algerian&North African Jews, that's why you might mistake them as Arabs. They look like Arabs and most of them speak Arabic.
9. nothing to celebrate the jews run away from there
ghostq   (12.27.09)
cause the Muslim make it hard for them to live in france, it it was done with out that phenomenon of Muslim arrasment then I would have say bravo, but nop not in this case, We remember the Halimi case too well.
10. to #6 this artical is not on the USA
ghostq   (12.27.09)
and the Americans who visit Israel some r chritians tourists, so you can't even analize data properly but that just show your mental skills.
11. 2: Perhaps not many, but at least 2 in city hall
Haifa   (12.27.09)
Being stifled by the vice-mayor's efforts to advance anti-Semitism in Haifa, but doing their best in a challenging job to support their countrymen's aliyah.
12. Not an emergency aliyah
Raphael ,   Netanya   (12.27.09)
The french jewry has well received the message from muslim settlers and their french collaborators. Thus, they are building up a silent, well planned transfer: first investing in real estate in Israel as holiday residence, then quietly selling their properties without hurry in order not to depress the prices, then sending kids to study in Israel, and at last, looking for a job. They all know about their parents' experience in Eastern Europe or North Africa, and act in a planned way.
13. French Jews
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.30.09)
As many of them originated from north Africa , as did many Israelis , many of them have relatives here . So they have a certain connection to the State , and thats probably one of the reasons they make Alyah .
