Should Israel play politics about who makes Aliyah?

The Ukraine War brings to the forefront the question of how Jewish Aliyah is handled. This episode of the Revival project, dedicated to strengthening bonds between Jews in the Diaspora and Israel, raises uncomfortable questions about the issue of playing politics with the Aliyah selection process.

David Bannister is joined by two very special guests to discuss to what degree Israel is being politically selective in encouraging and processing Jews moving to either live or find refuge in the country. Dr. Sam Minskoff from the popular Israel National News show - Aliyah Trail, is joined by another guest. Ben Levine is a researcher and author about the terrible fate that befell Jews in Lithuania during WW2 and extend his knowledge to the current Ukrainian Jewish community's plight, both from external threats as well as internal ones.
