The Nefesh B'Nefesh pro-aliyah organization today responded to figures published this morning on the numbers of Jews making Aliyah between 2012-2019, rejecting the allegation that the vast majority of new immigrants were not Jewish.
"What we know about North American Jews who make Aliyah is in complete contradiction with the false data presented by the stated report. Over the past decade alone, more than 36,000 Olim have moved from North America to Israel."
Nefesh B'Nefesh continued: "It is an affront to call to question the 'Jewishness' of these men, women, and children who have made the difficult decision to leave family, friends, jobs, and a certain lifestyle, to build their lives in the Jewish homeland.
"Additionally, our data, which we have verified through our partnership with the Jewish Agency, unequivocally contradicts the figures in the article. Less than 3% of the Olim who have made Aliyah in the last eight years from North America have done so exclusively using section 4A of the Law of Return.
Anyone who is at all familiar with Aliyah and Olim from North America knows that it is unfathomable that 70% of them are not considered Jewish according to halakha. We therefore look forward to the revised data being published promptly."

There are more non-jews who don't know that they are indeed jewish, than jews who don't know that they are in fact not jewish.
And it's been like this for hundreds of years.
Ok, so where's the evidence for this: is it based on personal supposition or basic provable and available facts/data?

so you believe the reports from the Jew Hating "Maariv?"
Interesting how yeshivishe guys will side with self-hating Jews as long as its against Israel...

To answer your question:
I live in Israel and in Bet Shemesh alone over 10,000 Anglos moved in just in the last two years ...
there you have your proofs ...and facts... from a live witness...
