Sounds like the drive to emigrate in Israel is inversely proportional to the hardships inflicted on would-be Israelis --how come??

Excerpt:
Looking beyond the current Middle Eastern war of attrition, Mr. Sharon is thinking strategically about the strengthening of Israel's population. "Putin has energized Jewish communal life here, with Hebrew schools in 400 communities," he said. "It's like a golden era with freedom of worship. Matter of fact, it worries me because we want a million more Russian Jews. So I tell them, 'Don't get used to it - move to Israel.'"
From post #3190:
Over fifty years, only 70,000 American Jews have made alia, while three times as many Israelis have emigrated to the United States. The case of South Africa is equally revealing: the end of apartheid prompted most Jews to emigrate, but only a small minority chose to come to Israel, with most preferring Europe or Canada, or even Australia.
