Third of Russian immigrants prefer not to serve in IDFNatasha Mozgovia Survey reveals sense of alienation among young Israeli adults from former Soviet Union. Many do not want to serve in the army and would prefer to live elsewhere
44 percent of immigrants from the former Soviet Union in high schools would prefer living somewhere else, especially in the United States or Europe.
A survey conducted among immigrants in Israeli schools revealed that 33 percent of immigrants from the former Soviet Union in junior high schools, and 44 percent of those in high schools would prefer living somewhere else, especially in the United States or Europe. Most youth suffer from depression, low self esteem and other problems typical of young adults; however these problems are worsened for the immigrants from the former Soviet Union as they also suffer from feelings of loneliness and alienation. The survey, conducted by the Gartner Group in cooperation with "Health Plus for Immigrant Youth," an NGO that deals with the health of immigrant youth, reveals that these feelings also thwart the young immigrants' motivation to enlist in the army: 39 percent of immigrants in junior high schools and 30 percent of immigrants in high schools prefer not to serve in the army.

No Israeli friendsOver half the girls and one fifth of the boys said that they had no Israeli friends. Seventy-five percent said they only go out to Russian hangouts and 43 percent think that Israelis probably prefer them not to be here at all. The difficulties in their absorption in Israel push many of the young adults to smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol. According to the survey, 30 percent of the female students and 16 percent of the male students reported that they smoke cigarettes. Twenty to 57 percent (depending on the location in Israel) reported drinking alcohol once to several times a week. Over half the respondents know one person who uses drugs and nine percent have been summoned to the police.
They live in their own little world in Israel. They even have their own TV channel - and sub-titles are in Russian. It's like they are taking over. I read somewhere that 65% of Russians in Israel are not Jewish, that's why they do not want to serve in the army. They have no love or deep roots for this Jewish State. I remember them flocking here in the mid- ninties, collecting thousands of shekels at the airport and going off to buy a car, without having the money for gas. They didn't have to come, but they did. OK, even if the reason was that they got 35,000 shekels at the airport, they still came. You took the money, do your friggin army service, give something back.

 [all videos (over 200)..] Featured MP3 Podcast  "1763 in the Ohio river valley you got Lord Jeffrey Amherst committing to written order an instruction to his subordinate Henry Bouquet, having been defeated by Pontiac Ottawa confederacy in the field. The order essentially says that they have been defeated militarily and is therefore necessary for Amherst forces to request a peace, to sue for peace from Pontiacs people. He instructs Bouquet to convene a parlay with the Indian leadership for that purpose. And as is the custom, as is common courtesy among native populations as was known to the Brits at that time, it would be necessary for those who requested the council to give gifts to those requested to attend. Make those gifts, Amherst says, items taken from a smallpox infirmary in order, I'm going to quote directly now, this isn't a paraphrase: 'in order that we may extirpate this execrable race'. Now key is on this last word, had he said that we might eradicate the opposing combatants, their military capacity, their warriors.. what ever term he wanted to use, it would have been biological warefare. But he didn't say anything about that, he said the 'race'. His intent was to use biological means, to use disease, quite explicitly so, to eradicate an entire population group. And Bouquet was also kind enough to commit to writing in his response the next day, I have done as instructed, dispersing three blankets, two handkerchiefs and sundry other items, hopefully, he says, they will have the desired result. They did.. the lowest estimate of the number of people who died of smallpox as a result of that little gesture of friendship and goodwill is a 100,000!"
