message: Since 2000, Jewish immigration to Israel/Palestine has fallen by more than half compared to the late 90s. In 2006, they numbered less than twenty thousand, a nine percent drop compared to a year earlier.
This drop should be referenced in the article, along with the Jewish Agency numbers for the past six years, which are availible. Avoiding this dramatic decline is part of a subtle, but pervasive tone of boosterism that compromises the the objectivity of the article.
:The russian alyah being almost over, the drop is no surprise. Interestingly, the number of Western Jews has increased in the 2000's, in particular from the USA and France. Benjil 11:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 21st century Aliyah

message: "Land of Israel" in the lead sentence seems to me to be an anachronism, and one that is almost certainly here with the intent of making a political point. Our article Land of Israel makes the claim that "During the British mandate of Palestine, the name Eretz Yisrael (abbreviated א״י Aleph-Yod), was part of the official name of the territory." This may be (first I've ever heard of it, to be honest), but it was certainly not the case when the Aliyah started in Ottoman times. Jewish sources from the time almost universally used the term "Palestine", as can be easily ascertained from the 1901-1906 Jewish Encyclopedia. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:15, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
While Jews may have referred to the land as "Palestine" in English, nearly all Jews would use the cultural, religious term Eretz Yisroel (Land of Israel) when referring to Aliya.  Aliya is at heart a religious term emphasising the spiritual "assent" that comes from living in the Holy Land.  The term Aliya therefore is very much linked with the term Eretz Yisroel. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.178.107.145 (talk • contribs) 26 July 2006.
Problematic issue - "Palestine" did not exist in Ottoman times except as a European name for a vague geographic designation. The Ottoman empire did not have a province, Willayet or Kaza by that name. Zionist organizations did call it Palestine because that is what it was called in Europe and the USA, as well as "Land of Israel" - Eretz Yisroel." Arabs did not use the name Palestine very much at all. First recorded use in official records was in the 1880s. However, this is not an article about Arabs.

This edit by Al-Andalus asserts as fact, without citation, that the Bnei Menashe Jews from India descend from the Ten Lost Tribes. Given how much controversy there is around any claims pertaining to the Lost Tribes, I am very skeptical.

replies: text: Thanks, being able to add "Shlomo Amar" to the search terms gave me much more relevant hits. Let me see if I understand correctly. In summer 2004, Amar (the Sephardic Chief Rabbi) led a delegation to India to examine the matter.  In March 2005, he declared that they were genuinely descendants of the lost tribe of Menashe.   In November 2005, out of respect for the Indian government, the Israelis have halted conversions in India to Orthodox Judaism, but are instead letting the Bnei Menashe emigrate first and then be converted.  And the challenge was more a matter of Indian politics than actual dispute as to their descent, is that correct? Just out of curiosity, do you know if anyone is still disputing the descent? Has the Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi just implicitly consented or actively agreed? - Jmabel | Talk 06:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Seems to me that there's an awful lot here about anti-Semitism in France. I've never exactly been a fan of French attitudes toward Jews, but in this context this would only be relevant insofar as there is a statistically significant recent aliyah from France. Is there?

replies: text:  Not to trivialize it, and clearly the rise suggests something that belongs in the article, but it seems to me that what has been written in the article is rather disproportionate to about 2% of French Jews making aliyah in six years. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  First the number of Jews in France was 500,000 according to a large survey in 2000. Which means less than that today. The numbers here about the Aliyah do not include all the people who left to Israel without making aliyah ; it does not include of course the people who left for the UK, Canada and the USA (many thousands also). And most important - the Jews who leave France are mostly young. The young Jews leave and the olders stay. Benjil 11:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Serial vandalism and distortion of statistics? 

message: I noticed that it says "Between 1882 and 1903, approximately 35,000 Jews immigrated to the southwestern area of Syria..." and "Between 1904 and 1914, 40,000 Jews immigrated mainly from Russia to southwestern Syria...". I looked at the changes and saw they, and some other similiar changes, was from July 2011. I know that some people want remove "Palestine" and replace it with names that they like more but even if we ignore that, it is still a problem that they replace it with names of territories that are not defined well or not specific enough. This has been discussed, among various pages, here. This is to compare with Palestine that encompass an area that is well-defined, though there are some other definitions of it.
I think for example that a vast majority who reads what is in the sentences above will wonder why Jews were immigrating to the southwestern part of the country of Syria. Now there is no reason to not use "Palestine", which is the term used by the vast majority of sources, but if "Syria" is going to be used when it refers to Syria (region), then at least say in cases like this "southwestern part of the region of Syria" or something similiar so it is not confused with the country. --IRISZOOM (talk) 17:41, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

text: Your sources proves nothing because during those years, the area was part of the British Mandate of Palestine. In the year 1387, Jews did not say, "I dream of moving to Palestine." They said, "I dream of moving to Israel", or "I dream of moving to the land of Israel." and there are tons of sources for that in the Jewish realm of books and religious texts. Palestine did not come into use until it it became the name of the place under British control, and using it now is a POV. Yossiea (talk) 23:30, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  First, the words used by Wikipedia are determined by good modern English sources, not by past usage by a particular largely-non-English group.  Second, if you refer to Jewish writing in Hebrew you are quite correct, but this is the English encyclopedia.  Third, your statement "Palestine did not come into use until it it became the name of the place under British control" is incorrect.  In English and European languages, Palestine and obvious variants like Palaestina was extremely common during the 18th and 19th centuries. You can look on Google Books (there is a convenient "19th century" option in the search tools).  In Yiddish, both Palastina and Eretz Yisroel were used; I don't know the proportions.

thread_title: Relevant RFM proposal

message: The "Etymology" section of this article contained the following unreferenced and (in my opinion) extremely dubious material.  I've removed it for the time being.
:Some insist that Aliyah was named after Elijah the prophet, or Eliyahu. After speaking profanities against god in the west, Elijah was exiled from the Arabia's "Masjid-al-Haram," or the precinct of Allah's asylum. His openness with the Jews and subsequent state of poverty and seizure of personal assets in the middle east, the Aliyah was created to safely bring back some prophets to the holy land. Isra', on the other hand, is the Arabic word for "ascent" and a chapter in the Quran that takes the servant of Allah from the Masjid-al-Haram to the Masjid-al-Aqsa where he was to see the signs of Allah.
:Islamic traditions further add there is a return from the Masjid-al-Aqsa to the Masjid-al-Haram although the account is not mentioned in the Quran except in a state of a shaven-head war victory to reclaim the Ka'aba. Early Muslims in the Masjid-al-Aqsa disputed with their Masjid-al-Haram counterparts regarding a plan to create trials and tribulations to selectively filter migration back to the middle east. The fitna, or tribulation, conducted in Israel was repeated in several middle eastern countries making it virtually impossible for nationals to return from the diaspora. Ironically, the same decision to host tribulations in Islamic nations enforced a repentance of Muslims at the Masjid-al-Haram in the Quran.
:It is also mentioned in some accounts that Elijah himself created a fitna which led many westerners to believe that he was a female. Aliyah is the female version of the name Ali (the Arabic nickname of Elijah). Many still suspect that Elijah was god himself, the unwed, while the name Hashem was saved for Israel, the married messenger and father of the Banu-Hashem (Bani-Israel). Indeed, after generations of studying the Quran, western scholars agreed this would be more confirming with the accounts in the Quran. It is important to note that the Quran itself is ambiguous about this topic so as to create layers of privacy between creator and creation.
If (and only if) the above can be substantiated by high-quality reliable sources, it would presumably be OK to return to the article's text.  — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 03:05, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

In the bible, "aliyah" (coming "up") and "yerida" (coming "down", like Abraham did when he went off to egypt ) is immigration to or emmigration from the Land of israel. it cannot be connected to islamic tradition or even to Elijah.

message: The words "The migration of Jews from Russia correlates with the end of the Russian pogroms, with about 3 percent of Jews emigrating from Europe to Palestine." are duplicated in this paragraph.  I suggest deleting the second occurrence. Andy duck (talk) 06:01, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  First Aliyah - duplicated text 

message: As we all know, people emigrate FROM where they are at, and immigrate TO where they are going. 
The first sentence of this article states, "Aliyah... is the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to the Land of Israel...". 
But neither Jews, nor anyone else can "...immigrat[e]... from the diaspora..." 
(Because you can't 'immigrate from' -- Instead, you 'emigrate from' and you 'immigrate to')
The term 'Aliyah' is describing Jews emigrating FROM the Diaspora, and immigrating TO the Land of Israel. 
To write the idea (i.e. the sentence) better, it could be re-cast as, 
"Aliyah . . . is the immigration of the Diaspora to the Land of Israel. . ." (Capitalized 'D' in diaspora, which specifically means 'the Jews of the diaspora', and no other diaspora). 
Or, the sentence could be re-cast as, "Aliyah . . . is the immigration of Jews of the diaspora to the Land of Israel. . .". (Substituting 'of' in place of 'from'). 
Or, the sentence could be re-cast as, "Aliyah . . . is the immigration of diaspora Jews to the Land of Israel. . ."
Finally, the phrase "Jews from the diaspora" cannot be properly used as a phrasal noun because there is a word for that: "Diaspora" (with capitalized 'D').

message: In modern Israel, it's common to use the term Aliyah when describing a visit to Jerusalem, even if it's not a permanent relocation, or for religious reasons. This is partly because of the physical ascent when going to Jerusalem from any other point in the country, but the term isn't really used for other mountain cities like Arad or Haifa, so it's obvious that it's because of the traditional connotation of the term. Now, I don't really have any source, since I am basing this on my common knowledge as a local, but if someone finds a direct reference to this, I think it could be added to the article  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.173.97.169 (talk) 21:20, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

message: In the section "From France", a reference for an article in the Times of Israel gives the author's name as "Amanda Borschel-Da".

message: I am surprised that in the articles of Israeli politicians, especially the early Zionists, the phrase "made aliyah" is used. This is unacceptable for Wikipedia, which should be neutral, and the use of this phrase indicates the adoption of the Zionist view that Palestine is a homeland for the Jews. Sakiv (talk) 01:17, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I would describe the problem differently: the term suggests that the immigration of a Jew to the region has a status higher than the immigration of someone else. You are welcome and encouraged to replace the term by something neutral like "immigrated to Palestine" or "immigrated to Israel" depending on the time period. Zerotalk 01:47, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi ! I saw the newly added image you've created, thanks for that! The only comment I have - maybe you can make colors a little bit different? For me blue used for USSR/Russia and Eritrea looks identical, I was surprised to see almost aa million people made aliyah from Eritrea in the 90s. (And shouldn't it be Ethiopia?)
