...Israelis, who firmly believe there is safety in numbers, the unprecedented infusion of highly educated citizens fulfills the Zionist dream. "Israel faces the threat of war, tourists have stopped coming, the U.S. Administration is less and less friendly," says former refusenik Natan Sharansky. "And yet we see hundreds of Soviet Jews arriving every day because they have no other place to go."
