I noticed that in the last decade (not counting the collapse of USSR) there are fewer Jews making aliyah. In fact, more Jews are leaving Israel. LA has more Israelis then Tel Aviv. When I was in LA I met alot of Israelis in synagogues and etc. who are now citizens of USA and who did not want to return to Israel.
In addition, I hear alot of Liberal Jews saying that Israelis are the aggressors and the Palestinians are innocent and that Israel deserves what it gets.
Most younger Jews of today like in their teens-late 20's can't defend Israel or to name any prime minister of Israel. I had taught in the south to Jewish congregations (non orthodox) & most of the kids there could not tell a difference between Six Day War & Yom Kippur War. Some 12 graders in Atlanta couldn't even name 3 cities in Israel only Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
Two years ago when I was a college student I have noticed that alot of Jewish students could not defend Israel at all when challenged by Arab groups. Why is that?
