| Summary: | This article examines the demographic impact of Soviet Jewish immigration to Israel. In 1990 almost 200000 Soviet Jewish immigrants arrived in Israel. As Israel is facing a deteriorating position of the Jewish community in relation to the Arab and Palestinian communities they were welcomed very much. This article argues that Israel sooner or later has to face the question of how to remain a predominantly Jewish state while retaining control of all the lands of Greater Israel (Eretz Yisra'el). The immigration to Israel may only delay the necessity for Israel to do so. (DÜI-Mjr) |
