That's a very good question Jenny! During my research for this article I found that many more were actually waiting to leave but were looking for jobs abroad first. The "Israeli" passport gets them access to most of the Global North without needing a visa, so they could really be anywhere...
Unsurprisingly, the most popular destinations for emigration were Europe and the USA. Also unsurprisingly, they're looking to get the easiest EU citizenship possible.
Thank you both very much for this very interesting and educational essay. I'm very pleased to read that "Israel's" situation is even more dire than we have been led to believe.
I have a query about one calculation though. (It may be that I've misunderstood, but I know those with bad intentions may use one little slip to discredit everything else you've written.)
"extrapolating the October-December 2023 numbers, i.e. estimating that 1500 IOF get wounded every month". The Haaretz investigation mentioned in the previous paragraph says 1593 casualties in that period, so the (under-) estimate should be 'only' 500 per month? I'm more than happy to be corrected 👍🏼
The Haaretz investigation found that in December 2023, the number of wounded IOF getting treatment in hospitals was a bit over 3000 (3117).
If we take the starting date of these wounds to be October 7, then this indeed comes out to around 1500 wounded every month, since there were only two full months elapsed between the two dates so we just divide by two.
I think the confusion comes from "Israel's" own numbers, the IOF is the one that stated 1593 wounded in that same period but these numbers were found to be extremely downplayed.
The figure was actually even higher as the IOF only marched into Gaza with infantry in November, but some assumptions have to be made because we don't have all the data either way.
What a revolting and really stupid idea.
I have just joined.
I keep asking this question.
All these Israelis who have left.......where are they going?
This should be of paramount importance. Is it possible for another Zionist state to emerge?
Cyprus (still OWNED by the British) might be one place to look at and of course the USA.

There's unfortunately not much information available publicly but Middle East Monitor did publish an article right on October 6 2023 that gave some info: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231006-jews-reverse-immigration-from-israel-is-on-the-rise/

Thank you so much for this really appreciate it.

Hi Dx, It's no bother at all.

Thank you! I was being lazy not clicking through to the article. My excuse is I'm on a long train journey with dodgy WiFi 👍🏼
It's time for Israel to start using nukes. If they got balls, they would drop one on Mecca. Hehe
Lol there's always that one moron in the comment section.
I figure it's a good day if there's only one moron! 😹
Try nuking the USA.
Probably now the most hated Nation in the world along with the British.
I forgot I had your mother picking up a roll of pennies..😂😂😂
