<Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict>[1]


"Jews emigrated in relatively high numbers in proportion to the Jewish population.[clarification needed] About 2 million of the 3.5 million went to the United States.[6] Only a small minority of 6,000 Jews moved to Ottoman Palestine.[7] This accounted for only about 2% of the emigrants who went to Palestine[7] A large majority of the Jewish emigration movement came from Russia, Romania,and Galicia.[7] The pogroms that took place in Russia and Romania caused massive emigration of Jews.[7] During the time of the programs, Jews were ridiculed and, as a result, left Romania and Russia.[7] The First Aliyah[4] occurred from 1881-1882 and did not go as planned as they ran out of funds and had trouble familiarizing themselves with Palestinian land.[7] The Rothschild administration rescued the Zionist movement as they funded Zionists through purchasing large settlements and created new settlements as well.[7] At the closure of the first Aliya, the Jews had successfully purchased 350,000 dunams of land. Thus, the First Aliya was considered a success through the eyes of most Zionists since they were able to migrate and thrive economically in Palestine.[7] Immigration of the Jews to Palestine took place from 1882-1904 but continued thereafter.[7] " This is the section I added to the page "First Aliyah". By including this, the reader will get reliable information that is relatively non-bias. Andrewhoward5416 (talk) 22:20, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Andrew Howard


“Only a small minority of the 6,000 remained in Ottoman Palestine.[7] This accounted for only about 2% of the emigrants who went to Palestine[7] A large majority of the Jewish emigration movement came from Russia, Romania, and Galicia.[7] The pogroms that took place in Russia and Romania during 1881-1882 caused massive emigration of Jews.[7] During the time of the programs, Jews were mistreated and, as a result, left Romania and Russia.[7] The First Aliyah[4] occurred from 1881-1903 and did not go as planned as Zionists ran out of funds.[7] The Rothschild organization rescued the Zionist movement as the Rothschild organization funded Zionists through purchasing large settlements and created new settlements as well. At the closure of the first Aliya, the Jews had purchased 350,000 dunams of land. Thus, the First Aliyah was considered a success through the eyes of some Zionists since Zionists were able to migrate and thrive economically in Palestine. Other Zionists may say the First Aliyah was not a success because it many Zionists did not stay and Zionists ran out of funds necessary to complete the moement before looking for money through another source. Immigration of the Jews to Palestine took place from 1882-1904 but Jewish immigration continued thereafter.”
