BBC NEWS Israel welcomes new immigrants Almost 600 people, the largest group of North American Jews to emigrate to Israel in a single day, have touched down at Tel Aviv airport.
A total of 410 flew from New York's JFK airport, while another 160 headed to Israel from Toronto.
Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who has led calls for higher Jewish immigration to the country, met the new arrivals as they disembarked.
Almost 21,000 people emigrated to Israel during 2004.
A total of 8,535 people moved to Israel in the first six months of 2005, according to government figures.
But those figures are considerably lower than in the 1990s, when the collapse of the Soviet Union led to about 70,000 immigrants each year.
Israeli politicians favour increased immigration as a counterweight to high birth rates among Israel's million-strong Arab population as well as Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
'Where a Jew belongs'
The flights from Canada and the US were organised by a Jewish organisation, Nefesh B'Nefesh, which is committed to increasing North American immigration.
The organisation offers financial grants and administrative assistance to prospective immigrants.
It has organised four more charter flights to carry North American immigrants to Tel Aviv during the summer.
Many of those arriving in Israel said they were leaving North America because of a wish to live only among Jews.
"Life for a Jew in Israel is difficult, but pretty soon, life for a Jew outside of Israel is going to be impossible," Henry Fuerte, 33, told the Associated Press before leaving New York.
"America is a great country, as far as opportunity, but as for religious life, such as keeping kosher [dietary laws], Israel is where a Jew belongs."
As well as religious considerations, anti-Semitic incidents in the US and Canada rose by 17% in 2004, according to the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish lobby group.
New concerns over safety in normally-tolerant North America are thought to have persuaded some families to head to Israel.
But younger immigrants like Max Berman, 14, looked forward to their new life for different reasons.
"I'm going to miss my friends, but I will be living on the beach," he said.
"And everyone is Jewish in Israel, and I think that will be cool."

Only thing about this is that their new homes will be on Palestinian land and that's why Sharon needs more people in Palestine.
Also those who have served in the military are being sent overseas in order to take over new lands, a good example of this is in Tasmania, and the Pampas of Argentina and a couple of places in Africa and all is done with the 3 to 7 billions of US taxpayers money that we give them each and every year.
The same way that people came to America and then went into the west is the same thing that those people are doing.
Like I keep saying, where America thinks in terms of ten and twenty years the Jews (Zionists) think in terms of one and two hundred years and beyond.

Well, straight from the horses mouth "leaving the Gaza and others if not part of the peace plan" The Zoinists will take our tax dollar and continue the so called "war" on defenseles Palestinians.
FROM SHARON TO AMERICA.......SUCKERSSSSSSSSS :argue:

A Quarter of a Million Dollars Per Settler
by Charley Reese The state of Israel ââ¬â which, the last time I checked, was both a foreign and a sovereign nation ââ¬â wants the American taxpayers to cough up $2.2 billion in addition to our regular $3 billion-or-so annual subsidy to pay for the withdrawal from Gaza.
Unless the American people raise hell about this, it's a done deal. In Washington, whatever Israel wants, Israel gets. Nevertheless, there are several reasons why the American people should rebel at the latest brazen attack on our treasury by Israel and its American supporters.
First, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon decided unilaterally to withdraw from Gaza. This was in lieu of following the president's peace plan, which Sharon has ignored from the very beginning. Where is it written, on stone or parchment or paper, that the head of a foreign government can decide to do something unilaterally and automatically send the bill to the American taxpayers? We will derive no benefits at all from the withdrawal.
Furthermore, Sharon's adviser spilled the beans in an Israeli newspaper interview. The withdrawal from Gaza is not part of any peace plan. It was just an excuse to put off serious peace negotiations. Sharon will remove about 8,000 settlers from Gaza who are a pain in the government's rear end anyway, shut down four tiny settlements on the West Bank, and that's it. As Sharon's adviser admitted, there won't be any serious negotiations with the Palestinians until they "turn into Finns."
A normal president would view Sharon's actions as unacceptable and his casual expectation that we would pay for it as a personal insult. President George Bush, however, when it comes to Israel, is just like Congress ââ¬â a candy-bottom. That's why, despite all of our problems, all of our deficits, all of our debts, the U.S. government has gifted Israel with more than $90 billion in recent decades. If Washington gives in, we taxpayers will be spending about $227,000 per Jewish settler. That's a sporty moving expense.
We paid for the Camp David peace treaty in the 1970s ââ¬â some $4 billion to Israel to get out of Egyptian territory it had no business occupying in the first place. And as part of that deal, apparently we've been paying Egypt an annual bribe of $2 billion or so a year for having signed the peace treaty.
The proper American attitude should be: "We think, Israel, it is in your interests to make peace with your Arab neighbors. That's your decision, however; if you would prefer to remain at war, that's OK with us, because either way ââ¬â peace or war ââ¬â we aren't going to pay for it."
As for those Christian cultists who take one verse out of a very large Jewish Bible and claim that it binds us to help Israel, I would just say that if you believe God wishes modern Zionists to occupy modern Palestine, let Him pay for it. When did we get appointed fiscal agent for Almighty God? And when did God ever need anybody's help to do whatever he wanted to do? And where is it written in the Constitution that Congress can tax the American people and hand the money out as a gift to foreign countries?
It's been said of the suicide bombers that they hate us more than they love life. Well, the American people are going to have to teach their congressional representatives and senators to fear them more than they fear the Israeli lobby, or the American people will continue to be not only taxed unjustly, but dragged into Israel's quarrels in the Middle East.
I always add (not that it does any good as far as hostile reactions from the Israel First crowd are concerned) that the Israeli lobby has every right to ask for anything it wants. The fault is not with the lobby; it's with the congressional representatives and senators who betray their oath of office and betray you in order to placate a lobby that has shown itself to be not only effective but vindictive.
But, hey, it's your country. If you wish to allow some weak-willed politicians to lay it to waste and destroy the future for your children and grandchildren, that's your decision. But I'm a strong believer that even people who wish to commit suicide should know what they are doing.

It's not rocket science. A 747 will hold about 400 people, the airlines are hurting for money, we piss away 3+ Billion $ a year for welfare payments to "That Shitty Little Country", Why not spend the money on tickets to fly these whiney talmudists over to Izzreeeull? (One way tickets, of course.)

Only thing is, it was Howard's last payment. God knows the plane ticket to Israel won't be the last money, or othe assistance, these guys ask for.

As long as they keep their second passport, they can come back tomorrow. And they like to keep passports of other countries handy.

Do away with dual citizenship and it will be much harder for them to return to the U.S., at least as legal citizens.

It's be nice to cut their tentacles once and for all. But they would have emigrated probably at all, without being able to execute this fast exit scenario.

Possibly not, but I believe if we ended dual citizenship it may nudge a large number of U.S. religious and zionist jews to make a fateful decision to immigrate to Israel once and for all. Along with a little pressure properly applied by awakened Whites may just cause a mass exodus.
Its worth contemplating at least unless someone has a better plan.
