Rise in Russian, Turkish immigration to Israel bucking Western slump
|
[IsraelTimes] Number of new immigrants colonists in 2017 up 2 percent from year before despite decrease in new arrivals from US, La Belle France.
Bucking a slump in Western immigration to Israel under its law of return for Jews, the number of new arrivals from Russia has increased in 2017 and more than doubled from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.....
In total, the 23,415 immigrants colonists who have come to Israel from January 1 to September 30 constituted a 2 percent increase over the corresponding period last year, an interim report by the Jewish Agency for Israel showed.
The 8% rise in immigration from the former Soviet Union, representing 13,192 individuals, helped make up for an 11% decrease from the United States, which brought 2,282 immigrants colonists to Israel. Among the FSU figures, 5,661 immigrants colonists came from Russia, where sanctions and a financial crisis exacerbated by low oil prices have halved the value of the ruble against the dollar since 2014.
Ukraine, where the economy crashed following a revolution and territorial disputes with Russia after 2013, provided Israel with nearly 6,000 newcomers.
Immigration from La Belle France, which in 2015 was for the second year straight Israel’s largest source of immigrants colonists with 7,328 newcomers, continued to plummet, registering a 26% drop this year to a total of 3,138 newcomers. La Belle France, which is seeing an economic improvement following several stagnant years, also has recorded a decrease in anti-Semitic incidents since 2015 that the government attributes to its security measures. Immigration from Britannia also decreased by 16% to 459 newcomers.
In recent years, immigration tallies for the first three quarters of the year rarely have changed dramatically as the large waves of immigration, or aliyah, by families usually occur in the summer ahead of the new school year. In 2016, the tally for the first three quarters of the year accounted for 75% of the total annual number.
Another noticeable increase came from Turkey, where many Jews are exploring immigration options amid political instability and allegations of state-tolerated anti-Semitism under President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First

of the Islamist Justice and Development Party. This year, more than 350 Ottoman Turkish Jews came, compared to 164 in the corresponding period last year.
