The data includes those who immigrated during the period of January-November 2019 and the number of immigrants expected for December 2019. Through the end of November 2019, more than 32,600 immigrants arrived in Israel from around the world, an increase of 18 percent from the same period last year.

The Jewish Agency data showed that more than 255,000 new immigrants moved to Israel in the last decade from 150 different countries. The main countries of origin include Russia, Ukraine, France, the United States and Ethiopia.

More than half of the immigrants arriving over the last decade, about 130,000 people, came from the former Soviet Union.

Aliyah from France also reached the highest-ever during this decade with 38,000 immigrants, which is about one-third of the total number of immigrants from France since the establishment of the State of Israel.

The report also showed that more than 3,040 immigrants moved to Israel from other Middle Eastern states, as well as countries that have no diplomatic relations with Israel.

Aliyah from the United States continues to stand at more than 3,000 immigrants per year, according the Jewish Agency and Nefesh B’Nefesh.

The Jewish Agency also noted that around 60 percent of the immigrants during this decade were under the age of 45.

The numbers are based on reports by Israel’s Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, as well as those who changed their status and others handled by the Jewish Agency.

Of course 2019 immigration is the highest. Previous years didn’t even have 2019 immigration.

Why don’t you invite YOUR idol; Soros to your Seder on Pesach. I’m sure that he would love to participate.

They’re distributing Israeli passports to Russian goyim like free candy, I mean ham, so why wouldn’t they come (and hopefully then turn around and leave) in droves?

Reading another report about immigrants to Israel makes me ask how many of these immigrants are actually Jewish?

Why are there no statistics published by Nefesh b’Nefesh, or the Jewish Agency, regarding how many immigrants who make Aliyah return to their home countries, and how soon (i.e. within six months, one year, two years, etc.)? Also, what about the Yordim, or Israelis who leave Israel? How many leave each year, or have left in the last 10 years, and to which countries do they go to? Once, I saw a figure whereby it was estimated that over 500,000 Israelis live in the USA, and another 150,000 in Canada, although the actual numbers could be higher. I remember that Moshe Dayan, in the 1970’s criticized Israelis who permanently left Israel, and went to live abroad. However, that is their right to do so.

This means along with the Jew, are majority goyim immigrating to Israel. According to their own figures, Russian and Ukrainian aliyah (or non Jewish implants) make up about 85% of all those making aliyah and 65% of those 85% are not Jewish. That means 55% of those making aliyah are non Jews! Disgrace to those Jews who sit in exile while the land is being defiled……When will you stand up and save the land of Israel from a terrible government?

in 20 years the only people left in Israel will be Goyim (both Slavic ones and Arabs) and chareidim. as all the lefties will die out or move to Berlin, their new favorite city.

Everyone should make an Aliyah even gentiles. This way you’re guaranteed to live forever. Unless you get the flu shot. That also works.
