month rent subsidy avail-
able to immigrants during
their second and third years
in the country. It also has
agreed to make some 10,000
apartments available to
immigrants over 50 and sin-
gle-parent families — but
only in development towns,
where jobs are still hardest
to come by.
The Soviet Zionist Forum
(the leading lobby of the
Russian immigrants) has
called upon the government
to see to the construction of
rental housing and grant
single-parent families,
elderly, and single immi-
grants from the FSU the
same mortgage terms as
those offered to Ethiopian
immigrants (more than 90
percent of the value of a
flat).
But the Treasury has
countered that revising the
mortgage rights for such
immigrants would kindle
the wrath of veteran Israelis
in similar circumstances.
Hardest of all to assess,
because here even statistics
don't come into play, is the
success of the immigrants'
social integration. Through
the system of "direct absorp-
tion," the Soviet immigrants
have been living side-by-
side with veteran Israelis
since their arrival. Yet for
the most part (and perhaps
this is only natural), the
immigrants tend to socialize
among their own while
reporting that veteran
Israelis are not outgoing
toward them.
Some observers fear that
a wall has grown up
between the two popula-
tions, with the immigrants
looking down on Israelis
as"uncouth" while the veter-
ans (and especially young
people) stigmatize the new-
comers as "dowdy" and
"square."
A talk with Russian male
university students, for
example, revealed that none
of them date Israeli women.
"It's like knocking on a door
and getting no answer," said
Boris, a 24-year-old student
of computer science at
Beersheba University, of his
attempts to build ties with
Israeli peers.
The fact that these stu-
dents have not served in the
army has slowed their
entree into Israeli society. It
also leaves them feeling
that they haven't the "moral
right" to participate in the
debate on the country's
most burning issues. Yet
they report that they "feel
at home" in Israel and con-
tinue to believe that, with
all the problems — includ-
