Different Israelis have dif-
ferent views as to what are the
optimum new frontiers for the
country. Except on the extreme
fringes, for practically every-
body else the question is actual-
ly tantamount to the following
problem: what are the most
defensible borders that would
add to Israel the minimum
number of new Arabs?
Thus, it is very clear to every
Israeli that the problem of the
borders is intimately interwov-
en with questions of demog-
raphy: Jewish birth rate vs.
Arab birth rate, on one hand,
and immigration of Jews, on
the other. It is generally agreed
that there is no sense building
a larger, more defensible Israel
if, within a decade or two, it
is going to become a country
with an Arab majority.
The question of the birth
rate is brought to the fore this
month not only by the discus-
sions about the future of the
areas occupied by the Israel
Forces last June, but also by
the beginning of the school
year. In many neighborhoods,
particularly in well-to-do sec-
tions of Tel Aviv and Haifa,
the high school population con-
tinued to grow as expected, but
the grade school population
dropped and several kindergar-
tens had to be closed altogether
because of the small number
of toddlers in the vicinity.
Orthodox circles press the
government for a campaign of
stricter anti-abortion laws,com-
bined with special high bonus-
es for families with numerous
children. While the govern-
ment is not opposed to such
bonuses, the majority of it as
well as of the population is
well aware that birth rates in
industrial societies everywhere
have a tendency to drop. Then
they pick up again when the
income of the white collar or
blue collar worker is such that
the third or fourth child does
not compel him any more to
give up what he has come to
consider his desirable standard
of living. _ -
However, even should Israel
reach this stage of development
pretty soon, three-or-four-child
Jewish families would still be
no match to the huge Arab
birth rate which, so it seems,
will certainly continue for at
least another decade or two.
This, then, is one of the two
big reasons why Israel now,
after her military victory, is
trying so eagerly to increase
the volume of immigration.
With doors of other parts of
the world practically closed,
this means—in effect—immi-
gration from Western coun-
tries.. Israel feels that even a
very small trickle of immi-
grants from the West would
go a long way towards solving
this country’s demographic
problem for years to come.
But, of course, it is not only
a question of numbers that
makes Israelis so eager to see
larger aliyah from the West.
In a simplicistic form, it is al-
so a qualitative question, be-
ginning with the desire to
maintain Israel as belonging to
the European rather than the
Oriental civilization.
Beyond this simplistic equa-
tion, there is a more technical
one. For a decade now, Israel
has been making considerable
—and sometimes fairly success-
ful-efforts to attract private
investment into this country. It
became clear quite some time
ago that money alone—even if
accompanied in parallel chan-
nels by experts and technology
—would not be enough to
transplant American produc-
tion to Israel. What is needed,
it was felt, is that along with
the investments should come
at least some of those who are
directly or indirectly engaged
in the process of production,
primarly as producers—but al-
so as consumers.
In other words, to attain in
Israel West European or Amer-
ican standards of production,
one must have here at least
some West Europeans and
Americans, and not only their
Thus, aliyah from the West
has become for the past decade
investments and knowhow,
one of the most sensitive spots
of Israel’s consciousness.
With past and future sud-
denly telescoped into new pers-
pective after the Six-Day War,
Israel now feels the need for
Western immigrants more
urgently than ever in the past.
But it is also felt that the
breathtaking dangers of the
weeks before the war and the
unprecedented extent of the vic-
tory in battle have now created
conditions that could form the
basis for immigration from the
West.
The Jewish Agency, together
with several government de-
partments, has just drafted a
broad framework of the meas-
ures aimed to eliminate many
of the bureaucratic and fiscal
obstacles in the way of immi-
grants from the West as well
as to make an estimate of their
chances of suitable employment
here. This plan will form the
basis of consultations with com-
munity leaders in New York
before the coming high holi-
days, to be followed by a large
conference on aliyah planned
there for next November.
