My friend from Israel tells me that there is a tremendous increase in the French Aliyah. Almost a perceptible daily increase. They are the Russian Jews of the 2000s, she tells me. I am trying to find the actual figures, but am having trouble. I want to find the newest figures, including the aftermath of the Gaza War and the last few months. Somebody must have these figures. Have those of you who read Hebrew and have access to the Israeli Internet come across fresh statistics? Thanks.

It's not the same; Russian Jews were emigrating mainly for economic reasons while French ones do have grave and serius security concerns. Anyway I'm suprised the American Jewry is not packing their backs too; they won't be welcomed in USA around 2012; America is becoming new Weimar Republic and American Jews are even more
Germany USA uber alles and Berlin New York is new Jerusalem. Whoever will sucseed after "the one" fall they will be the perfect scapegoats.

This is not true. Before the perestroika, Soviet Jews emigrated because of government discrimination, anti-semitism, and the fact that Judaism and Jewish culture were outlawed. After the perestroika, Jews left the former Soviet Union partly because anti-semitism acquired threatening proportions, even worse than it was under Communism, and in smaller part because of economic reasons. So they left partly for economic reasons after 1991. But "left" doesn't mean "made aliyah." Those influenced by the economic reasons went to the US and other countries, not to Israel, because Israel's economy wasn't as good and it was in a state of war. Those who chose Israel did it for mostly patriotic reasons.

That is the link to the 2008 Aliya Report of Israeli Central Buerau of Statistics.
The document is in Hebrew but some tables are also in English.
In particular, it says that 1562 people moved to Israel from France in 2008, while in 2007 2335 people came from there.

God is calling His chosen people from around the world, forcing them to return to Israel or face death in the cursed exile. All is as it should be.

Thank you, Spectator. Maybe this was not the very end of 2008 then. I heard that the emigration keeps increasing. I would have also expected that more people have made the aliyah after the Gaza war (because of all the antisemitism).
