Yet 90%, according to a different survey were unwilling to live in any other place on earth

...And this is the same horrible country which in the latest happiness index was ranked 11th in the world, and which in a Geocartography survey from last year, 70% of its citizens defined their situation as good, and almost 90%, according to a different survey from the same period, were unwilling to live in any other place on earth.

Articles about the "new emigrants" are trying to prove to us why hell on earth has decided to settle in Israel of all places, and how anyone packing his or her bags and getting out of here as soon as possible is doing the self evident thing.

It's not a specific group which feels this way, but "an entire generation." Many have resumed recently the jabbering about the State torturing its citizens, about the deteriorating education, about the collapsing health system, about the lack of hope for young people, about the dried-up academia, about the cost of living and about the soaring prices of real estate.

There is quite a clear intention behind this campaign – to paint Israel pitch black. This is mostly a calculated and orchestrated work of deception by certain political, ideological and media agents, who have realized that when the ballots repeatedly refuse to be nice to them, to their views and to their messengers – blatant lies and inconsistencies are appropriate persuasion tools.

In order to present the emigration from Israel as an acute problem which is only getting worse, with a big hint towards those who are to blame in the current government, while the numbers point to a significant drop in the phenomenon – one has to be completely unwise or have a clear malicious intent.

Even during the year of the social protest, 2011, only 16,200 Israelis left the country without returning by the end of 2012, while at the same time 9,500 returned to Israel. This is among the lowest figures in the past 30 years and much lower than the average in OECD countries. Even in a short-term comparison, the emigration rate falls. In the past few years, the number of emigrants went down to 2.1 citizens per 1,000 compared to 3.2 in 2006.

Israel 11th on happiness index

In general, facts and statistical findings are mostly a heavy and troubling assignment for many who naturally prefer to ignore this overlapping excess while they distribute their ideological merchandise.

For example, that collapsing health system, in their opinion, was named fourth in the world in efficiency in the Bloomberg ranking, and in the OECD report the Israeli system was mentioned as one of the best among the organization's member states.
