about immigration I found interesting learning that:
- before 1948, zionist agencies only allowed young fit pioneers and wealthy persons to immigrate. used a strict selection process that excluded sick, elderly, and poor.
- 1950, law of return, "immigration open to all jews", in reality filtered by early state authorities and the Jewish Agency that did exercise administrative, medical, and practical prioritization favoring ablebodied pioners or youth in certain periods, while being overwhelmed by the influx of impoverished refugees and holocaust survivors.
- socioeconomic situation forced the state to prioritize young, healthy, and productive immigrants due to resource constraints.
- the selective immigration (Aliyah Borer) involved officials prioritizing healthier family units during the massive 1950s migration waves.
- cultural and social hierarchy biases led the Ashkenazi establishment to place Mizrahi and Sephardic immigrants into peripheric areas and transit camps.
and after learning this, you understand that there was and there always will be discrimination and imho that's often the result of selfishness.
