Will American Jews Flee to Israel?

JERUSALEM — The blood was barely dry from the attack by a machete-wielding assailant who wounded five Jews at a Monsey, New York, Chanukah party before an Israeli politician, Avigdor Lieberman, declared that the "main solution" to rising violent antisemitism in the United States is for American Jews to emigrate to Israel.
Such declarations by Israeli politicians in the wake of antisemitic attacks outside of Israel are frequent. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a similar call in 2015 after deadly attacks on a kosher supermarket in Paris and a synagogue in Copenhagen.
