Israel Immigration by Country

Morocco is not in the correct order

As the primary source is in hebrew, I can not check these questions easily my own: (1) Does it count only jewish immigrants? (2) How are immigrants here defined, by getting the Israeli citizenship granted? Or by settling in Israel's territory? If yes, does this also include Palestine's territory? (3) What does "immigrants since 1919" mean? There was no Israel prior to 1946, neither a state not a territory.

Do countries with "former" not count their current country?

Why is Jordan and Syria not on here? There was as much or more Arab immigration in to Israel as Jewish immigration in the early 20th century. Does this only count Jewish immigration?

Yeah... this is from a page about "aliyah" which is when Jewish people "return" to Israel.... so.... it completely neglects the huge numbers of Arab Muslims and Christians that were flooding in from Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt. These numbers are only for Jews. (though as you can see there were also large numbers of Jews coming from Iraq and Egypt... mostly because after the Arab League lost the war in '48 they started taking it out on their resident Jewish populations, forcing these people to flee, many times to Israel, ironically making their enemy stronger in the process)

According to one list of demographics I can find the Jewish population of Israel rose from 60,000 in 1918 to 540,000 in 1946. The non-Jewish population rose from 600,000 to 1.3 million during the same period. (though, of course, a lot of those non-Jews fled, were forced out, or ended up displaced and without a country after 1948) Most of those non-Jews were coming from the places that I mentioned. A better title would be something about Jewish immigration or From Whence Israelis Made Aliyah.

Why leave Argentina? Bad economy, but there's beef and tango

Why are the rates from Germany so high? I thought that was a nice country...

I was having this conversation with a friend just a couple days ago about countries from whence the most pulchritudnous womenfolk hail, and Israel came up. I remarked that it's similar to the USA, both a hodgepodge of immigrants, but Israel definitely has an advantage. Drawing so heavily upon Russia, Eastern Europe, North Africa, Iran and Iraq and with a dash from East Africa... all places at or near the top of the list of most good-looking people... what an amazing combination of genetic material Israel has to work with. The US of course has people from all over too, but the large percentage of our ancestors from England and West Africa are generally less attractive than people from all of those other places at the top of the list for Israeli immigration.

Although the Former Soviet Union is First on the List, Most of the Israelis Roots come from Yemen, Iraq, Poland, Austro-Hungary, Germany, and Morocco. The Russians we have in Israel are mostly ones who immigrated to Israel after the 90s.

Also, Countries such as France, Bulgaria and Romania are countries which only the Jews from there immigrate to Israel, not non-jews. Ethiopia, Sudan and Tunisia are mostly refugees and not immigrants. The Country Sends most of the Sudanese people to refugee camps in the desert but the Ethiopians have a pretty big community in central Israel. Argentina is there because during WW2, lots of Jews escaped to America, in South America mostly Argentina and Brazil, so after the war I guess most of them decided to immigrate to Israel, the Jews homeland. Thx for Listening to My TedTalk about Israel's immigrants :)

Yemen?Iran?Iraq?Eritrea?Sudan?Why would Jews want to move there?

There should be a similar quiz for Singapore

I almost typed in Monaco for some reason, not a very smart thought.
