You know how many Jews came to Palestine after World War II between World War II and 1992?
So for the roughly 50 years after World War II until 1992, how many Jews came to Palestine?
How many?
About 130,000.
It's like nothing.
Because most of them were living in the former, a lot of them were killed.
Most of them were living in the former Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union didn't let them out.
Now in 92, about a million came to Israel from the Soviet Union because the Soviet Union collapsed and all the Jews got the hell out.
Okay.
How many of those millions stayed in Israel?
Less than 10%.
