Immigration to Israel hit a 15-year low in 2003 and population growth was the lowest in a decade, the Central Bureau of Statistics said Wednesday.
The figures, apparently the result of an ailing economy and more than three years of Palestinian-Israeli violence, were bad news for Israel, built on the concept of large-scale Jewish immigration to the ancient homeland.
Immigration dropped by 32 per cent to 23,000 this year from 34,000 in 2002, the bureau said in an annual year-end statement. The last time immigration was so low was in 1988, when only 13,000 people moved to the country, a bureau official said.
Darn. Would have been nice to see more kikes go to Israel. It really is too bad Jews aren't gonna migrate en masse to Israel. That way we could have alot of them in a small space. Oh well. I guess all those Christians that are waiting for a second coming of christ with the re-birth of Israel are gonna have some problems now aren't they?
