ytan Broshi, mayor of the Emek
Yizreel Regional Council in Israel's
Central Galilee, doesn't think his pitch
to Argentinian Jews is a tough one.
Sure, there's terrorism in Israel, but
Argentina has more violence and an
unstable economy without a good
future.
He is part of an effort by the Jewish
Agency for Israel to convince 200,000
Jews who call Argentina home to
make aliyah from a country with 20
percent unemployment to the most
advanced country in the Mideast — a
democracy that has grown from a
gross national product of $4 billion in
daily work that Detroit does in the
Partnership 2000 program. It's impor-
tant for us to keep this bond all the
time. This solidarity is proving itself,"
he said. "And it's very important to
know that we are not alone."
