[lbo-talk] Israel demographics?

[Jesse Lemisch]

I appreciate the responses but wish for some generalization. Are people
saying that there is significant migration from Israel to the US? If so,
why: why are they leaving? Is it easy for them to get into the US? Are
people leaving Israel for other destinations? And please recall my original
posting, concerning emigration as possibly some pre-political expression,
people who perhaps approve of Israeli aggressiveness but more and more don't
want to live with its fruits. Or is this a misreading?

Also what are the politics here of the emigres?
