  • Patterns of Immigration and Absorption
    Patterns of Immigration and Absorption Aviva Zeltzer-Zubida Ph.D. [email protected] Director of Research, Evaluation and Measurement, Strategy and Planning Unit The Jewish Agency for Israel Hani Zubida Ph.D. [email protected] Department of Political Science The Max Stern Yezreel Valley College May 2012 1. Introduction Throughout the course of its modern history, Israel has been perceived as an immigration state. From the first days of the ―new Yishuv,‖ at the end of the nineteenth century, the development of the Jewish society in Palestine has been dependent on immigration, first from Eastern European countries, later from Central Europe and, immediately after the establishment of the state in 1948, from the Middle East. The centrality of immigration to the reality of Israel, to the nation, to the Israeli society, and to the Jews who came, can be appreciated from the Hebrew word coined to describe it, ―aliyah,‖ which means ascending, but this is much more than just verbal symbolism. Immigration to Israel, that is, aliyah, in effect implies rising above one‘s former status to assert one‘s Jewish citizenship and identity. Jewish ius sanguinis1 thus trumped all other issues of status and identity (Harper and Zubida, 2010). As such, there are never “immigrants” to Israel, but only Jews returning home, asserting their true identity and, as codified in Israel‘s right of return and citizenship laws, their legitimate claim to residence and citizenship. Thus, by this logic, Israel is not an immigration state, but is rather the homeland of the Jewish People. In this article we start with a survey of the major waves of immigration to Israel dating back to the pre-state era and review the characteristics of the various groups of immigrants based on earlier studies.

  • Israel States of America
    UnitedIsrael States of America No. 413 JuneJuly 20072008 Israel In terms of area and population, Israel is quite a small coun- try. Its national territory roughly corresponds in size to that of the US state of New Jersey and, with about seven million inhab- itants, it is similarly densely populated. The amount of attention that the Middle East’s strongest economy has always attracted bears no relation to these somewhat unspectacular figures. Israel is constantly present in media and political discourse, primarily attributable to the often war-like conflict between Jews and Palestinians that has been smouldering for more than 60 years. With regard to the subject of migration, too, Israel is unusu- al in one very important way: the state is virtually built on immi- gration. Apart from brief interruptions, Jews have immigrated continuously into the originally Ottoman and later British-ad- ministered Palestine since 1882.

Grazie in particolare al mio relatore, Dario Miccoli, che, oltre ad essere un amico, mi ha accompagnata per la seconda metà di questo tortuoso percorso con infinita pazienza e senso dell’umorismo. Grazie per essere sempre stato presente e per aver condiviso suggerimenti, contatti, incoraggiamenti e qualche battuta sull’Israele contemporaneo. Anche se non più mia relatrice sulla carta, la mia più profonda gratitudine va a colei che, nel mio percorso accademico, dall’inizio, è stata presenza costante e instancabile, e che ha contribuito a rendermi, non solo dal punto di vista intellettuale ma anche professionale, la persona che sono ora, con infinite pazienza, curiosità, fiducia e incoraggiamenti. Il mio grazie più profondo va alla professoressa Emanuela Trevisan che mi ha trasmesso tanti anni fa la sua passione per questo straordinario paese che è Israele, nel quale, oggi, ho scelto di vivere.

There has been a continued Jewish presence in the Holy Land for thousands of years – since before Christianity and Islam came into being. But, in 70 CE most of the Jews were exiled from their homeland by the Roman Empire.
