Jewish Emigration from France to Israel 1994-Present

Data from JewishVirtualLibrary.org via Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics. 2013 & 2014 figures are rounded numbers (3,300 & 7,000), and 2015 is the estimate (10,000) from Natan Sharansky, CEO of the Jewish Agency. [Graph created by Scott Ott for PJMedia.com]

 

Some say the bad European economy, high French taxes and the inviting business atmosphere of Israel are behind the veritable exodus of French Jews from their country to Abraham’s promised land.

But it’s hard to discount Jew-hatred and the threat of violence reminiscent of 1930s Germany, as radical Islam burns with rage and is not quenched.

The surge of French Jews emigrating to Israel is unprecedented in the post-World War II era. Last year, for the first time, France exceeded the United States for Jews making aliyah — the Hebrew term for “going up” to Israel, a core element of the Zionist movement.

Pretending economic factors have driven this pattern denies decades of history, when European economic downturns did not produce such an outflow. Last year, Jews from France emigrated to Israel in numbers that exceeded the peak of 5,292 set in 1969, in the wake of Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War.

The Jews have seen this story before, and they will never forget. They know that “noble” world leaders will quibble and equivocate as Jews are surrounded “for their own protection,” and then slaughtered to satisfy the bloodlust of evil men.

But there’s open debate about whether Jews should stay or flee. Watch the Trifecta episode below to learn more about that, and hear the story of the ship St. Louis, which left Hamburg loaded with Jews on May 13, 1939.

Is there some reason they don’t come here?

[lee martell]

Israel is morphing into a much larger country as we speak. I suspect, many of these refugees are also professionals and learned people, yet other ways in which Israel will profit from this influx.

[ryan71]

Even if I was an American Jew I’d move to Israel.

The canary in coal mine of humanity.

[RedHeeler]

Yes, there is a very good reason. Safety.

[faithhopecharity]

They can defend themselves in Israel.

RE: Is there some reason they don’t come here?

Do you realize how long it takes for a LEGAL immigrant to be approved by the USA? YEARS !!

The fastest way is to apply for refugee status, but who in the US government ( especially with this President ) is going to believe that they are in danger of being ethnically cleansed in France?

The irony is it would be faster if they came in illegally...

Obama.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Why would and sane Jew want to immigrate to the US now?

We’re led by a damn muslim. Blacks, libs, atheists, arabs, intelligentsia, the media, methodists, presbyterians, world council of church members all hate Jews.

What’s happening in France now will be here tomorrow.

[Fungi]

Good for them. The French have an aversion to numerous ethnic cultures—even themselves.

[entropy12]

It is the 75% tax on millionaires in France.
But that tax has now been rescinded.
So the flow could halt.

[Fungi]

Safety is one reason, another reason is the Jewish State will never disappear, and they are betting their life on that.

RE: It is the 75% tax on millionaires in France.

Are you saying that most of the Jews those emigrating are MILLIONAIRES, and those who aren’t are not?

[wjcsux]

Israel will continue to get a large number of quality, dedicated citizens from France. Meanwhile, France will continue to import ragheads who will eventually destroy them.

[Veto!]

Blacks, libs, atheists, arabs, intelligentsia, the media, methodists, presbyterians, world council of church members all hate Jews.

That's incredibly depressing.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

I agree it’s very depressing. If I were a Jew, I’d head home to Israel. At this point it’s about survival.

VIVA LA ISRAEL!!!
