This news tastes too bittersweet. North Americans may be immigrating to Israel in greater numbers, yes, but I bet they mostly do so due to domestic concerns at home.

All immigration has a push and a pull. Right now, I think North America (especially the USA) is working its best to push, and Jews leave because they have somewhere to go.
