The immigration of Jews into Israel.

Live few.

Not lookin' good.

By the way, this is the real reason why the world supports the existance of the state of Israel. What if the mob turns its anger at the Jews who live there?

This problem is on the hands of the political leaders. They promise the world to promote their careers!

P.S. Does it sound a little like the Clinton administration?

Jeremiah 30:10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

Homeward bound!

There are many many jewish people in Argentina.....when fleeing Europe oftentimes Argentina was the only open door.

Argentines of Italian and Spanish ancestry have been lining up for visas to their old homelands for many months now. This is just part of that pattern.

I don't think things will get so bad that an appreciable number of Jews will leave Argentina for Israel. A lot more people have died in Israel in the last 18 months from political violence than in Argentina.

No pogroms! Get a better Article here on how the anti-semitism was pricked. Draw attention to it and tell these Jews to pull heads out of the sand. Be Nice.

Following WWI it was a toss-up as to which nation would become America's richest, the United States or Argentina. Buenos Aires became the Paris of America with marvelous avenues, buildings, parks and museums. The cultural life was incredible. And then came the world-wide depression and fascism. And government with a head-lock on commerce. And then Peron. And then socialism. And then it was good-bye Argentina. The tens of thousands of Jews who immigrated from Europe to Argentina around the turn of the century helped the nation grow, but for nearly eight decades there has been a black swirling current of ugly anti-semitism that has been pushed by the labor plug-uglies, mostly Italian and Spanish with anarchist and Marxist tendencies. Now the problem is worse with the introduction of tens of thousands of "turcos" from the Middle East. It would be sad to see the Jews leave Argentina, but they usually discern when it was time to leave a sinking ship, and go, if there is someplace to go to.
