How Americans Integrate in Israel
By HAIM SIIACHTER
About a year ago. on the occa-
sion of the 27th Zionist Congress
which took place in Jerusalem in
June 1968, a preliminary report on
Americans#nd Canadians in Israel
and their mlotives for aliya. under-
taken by Hr. Aharon Antonowsky
and Dr. Judith Shuval on behalf of
the Israel Institute of Applied So-
cial Research. was presented to
the Jewish Agency. The report was
based on interviews with 1672
American and Canadian Jews and
Jewesses who arrived in Israel be-
fore March 1966. and were over 18
years of age at the time of their
arrival. • -
The first report focused mainly
. on the motivations for aliya. It
transpired that 35 per cent of the
American olim were active Zion-
ists before immigration; 26 per
cent were inactive Zionists. and
39 per cent were not members of
any Zionist organization. The mo-
tives for their aliya were unques-
tionably "to contribute to the up-
building of a Jewish homeland"
(90 per cent I, and "to lead a fuller
Jewish life." or "for the sake of
the children, from the Jewish
point of view."
The second report centered on
the problems faced by the respond-
ents since their arrival in the coun-
try and on their confrontation with
these problems. and dealt largely
with their socio - Jewish back-
grounds.
The third report, drawn up by
Dr. Antonowsky and David Katz.
was devoted to an analysis of the
connections between the integration
of these immigrants into Israeli life
and other factors. such as various
aspects of life before aliya and
their personal experiences after
aliya.
In general it transpired that peo-
ple whose motivation for aliya was
directly connected ideologically
with Israel. are able to integrate
better than others. Thus people
were Zionistically oriented,
who had been brought up in Zionist
homes or had been active in Zionist
organizations -before their aliya.
found integration much easier than
people who had not.
who
No direct connection was traced
between the present religious ob-
servance of the respondents and
their integration in Israel. How-
ever, those who arrived before
the establishment of the state and
who described themselves as "ob-
servant of Jewish tradition" in-
between the years 1948 and 1956.
Such people integrated equally
as well as the observant olim. No
connection was found to exist be-
tween religious observance and
integration for olim who arrived
before the establishment of the
State.
Immigrants living in kibutzim in-
tegrated better than others.
For immigrants arriving before
the establishment of the state. un-
married people coming in groups
integrated better than others. For
those who arrived between 1948 and
1956. there was no connection be-
tween the social framework in
which they arrived and the meas-
ure of their integration. In regard
to immigrants in the past 10 years.
it was found that people who had
arrived before their families inte-
grated better than others. While
there was no difference between
ohm arriving to the country in a
married state and those marrying
in Israel, bachelors and spinsters
evinced a relatively low measure
of integration.
The largest tank battle in history
was fought in the Sinai during the
Six-Day War. The Israelis sent 325
tanks against 850 Egyptian tanks,
and, after a hard and brutal battle.
watched the Egyptian forces re-
treat.

But anti-Jewish hostility as a

He finds a "qualitative differ-

had existed in Europe where
Jews were an oppressed minor-

But the black in the ghetto, says
Belafonte, fails to realize that the
"oppressive element" against him
is "the same oppressive element
against Jews and the poor."
