Syria. Yemen. and North Africa fleeing Arab antiZionism. from Iran fleeing the Ayatollahs. and from Latin America fleeing cruel military regimes. In the 1990s Israel has seen the largest wave of immigration in its history. 757.000 immigrants. some 700.000 of them leaving behind the chaos of the former Soviet Union. and 14.000 of whom were rescued in one day in a daring airlift from Ethiopia. Israel has served as a model for ethnic diversity as Jews from all parts of the world have ascended to the highest levels of the public and the private sector. Within minutes of Israels founding in 1948.
