the numbers are extremely small and the important statistic is missing altogether: are those people educated? are they unemployed? have health issues? i doubt that many middle-class people emigrate to Israel, but those that see no future in their country (especially in the States life is tough without a job) might try their chances somewhere else and Israel is as good as any other country for that.
