1. Clowns
Israeli   (10.27.19)
Huge salaries, overstaffing, perks for employees like cars and gyms and bringing in Amerikaim friers to sderot where the donors are told no one has food and ppl live in houses with damaged roofs (I know someone who went on 9ne she said it was staged but the americans are gullible and believe ppl live in houses where rain falls in). Yeh, that's the JA.
2. Take away power of the Orthodox to accomplish it.
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.27.19)
The Orthodox are destroying the Judaism around the world.
3. When will they learn?
Daniel   (10.29.19)
There are anti-Semites in the world. There always have been. Until Moshiach comes there always will be. No amount of "emissaries", "hasbara" or "education" is ever going to change that. I would love to see the Jewish Agency concern itself first and foremost with the (positive) goal of building Israel - and not with the negative and reactionary goal of combating anti-Semitism, whatever that means. For the first time in millenia, Jews have a homeland and a State in it. Working towards improving it is the best answer to anti Semtism that exists.
4. Does Israel Really want Aliyah?
Drew ,   Jerusalem   (10.29.19)
" The Jewish Agency will also encourage immigration to Israel"
Sure, as long as the Aliyah is white. Over half the Olim from the FSU are not halachically Jewish. Bu Jews by Choice from Uganda, Kenya, and parts of Latin America find the doors shut.
