the israeli government offers huge incentives for jews to move to israel — free healthcare, college tuition, tax benefits, rental assistance, free ulpan (immersive hebrew lessons) and of course — citizenship. for zionists, moving to israel is viewed as a beautiful thing, being able to go back to the ‘homeland’ a holy return — the phrase for it “making aliyah” or “to make aliyah” literally means to ascend — but it’s settlement. it’s government incentives to settle the land to give israel more power, more leverage, more future soldiers for the idf.

A companion to this poll.
(Once again, though I should not have to say this: this is not a post for political discourse, whatever your perspective. And it is most definitely not a post for political discourse from non-Jews.
You are more than welcome to respectfully share your reasons for your response. Using the poll as a platform for debate — or for criticizing others for their answers — will result in a block. 👍)

As some of Israel's hostages, kidnapped by Hamas, are returning to freedom, thousands of Israelis have been returning from overseas to help fight terrorism or to give support to those adversely impacted by the war. Many hundreds are making Aliyah and returning to the land of their ancestors. There are also some amazing stories of Israeli farmers returning time and again on Oct 7 to rescue survivors while under fire from terrorists.
Meanwhile, startups are returning to full operation, despite having many employees in military service. And Israel has allocated over one billion shekels to return devastated communities back to their previous physical condition. Finally, a Torah scroll made a triumphant return to Gaza after an 18-year absence.
The photo (TY Sharon) illustrates Israel's return to being a united people. The Hebrew message on the (recyclable) cups translates as "Together we will win".

A remade version of this poll, per a request!
Please note, though I wish I did not feel the need to say this: this is not a post for political discourse, whatever your perspective. And it is most definitely not a post for political discourse from non-Jews.
While you are certainly more than welcome to respectfully share your reasons for responding the way you did, using this poll as a platform for debate — or for criticizing others for their answers — will not be tolerated and will result in a block. Okay? Okay.
