We Are Leaving To Mother Russia
The Moscow Times is reporting about a wave of Russians moving back from Israel. What's really ironic is that they're moving back for economic reasons as well as social and religious acceptance. Some stories are unfortunately old: 'One of them is that most highly educated immigrants have to take blue-collar jobs in Israel. 'Doctors, physicians and mathematicians were cleaning the streets,' Gorin said.' Personally I find the social and religious tensions more upsetting. I heard a line once where a Russian said, 'When I was in Russia, I was a Jew. When I was in Israel, I was a Russian.'
