"koch is correct when he says the less fortunate should have 1st priority, when it comes to aliyah.
american jury - from the perspective of diaspora jews living under the poverty line - do not reflect this standard.
for aliyah to be administrated on a 1st-come-first-serve basis, is slightly disingenuous & reeks of residual western bureaucratic favoritism.
russian jury, b'nei menashe, hodu and sinim kehilot, shevatim in africa, should have 1st priority when it comes to aliyah, not from spoiled & laborious west.
bring about clear distinctions in recognizing the unique characteristics of potential olim, then goyim will exhibit greater honor toward k'lal yisra'el.
as of now, galu.s. has lumped all of israel, including the diaspora, into a single category, namely that of ashkenazim: this white-washing is unfortunate & indicative of euro trash reliance, not only petro-$.
shabbath shalom, regardless"
