Emigration from Israel continues at peak levels at 270,000 from 2023-2025

Bad news! How serious is this trend?

However, the criterion of leaving for at least three months or more might be flawed:

• What about the intention for leaving? 
• What about the prospect of returning after three or more months? (see also 2nd chart below)

"... In previous years [before 2023], the number of Israelis who left the country according to this criterion (three months or more) was 30% lower, and averaged just 60,000 annually in 2010-2019. In 2024-2025, Israel had a negative migration balance for the first time in decades, that is to say, more people left than arrived. ...

The new study from Tel Aviv University and the Central Bureau of Statistics does not cover net migration as there are not yet enough data to examine this statistic for 2025. Data on the number of Israelis who left for twelve months or more, as measured by the group in previous studies ..."

"Not only has the number of Israelis emigrating from Israel increased in recent years, but their economic profile has also changed.

More high-income earners, tech employees, healthcare professionals, and people in the prime of their careers are moving abroad. This is according to a new study by the Israel Tax Authority’s Planning and Economics Division, which examined the income and tax payments of Israelis who emigrated from the country between 2015 and 2024. ..."

Deutsche Auswanderer: Warum so viele wie nie das Land verlassen

Ist da was dran oder ist das mehr oder weniger Sensationsjournalismus?

Oder wird nicht schon seit mehreren Jahrzehnten berichtet das Deutschland viele seiner Besten ans Ausland verliert? Wieviele kehren nach langer Abwesenheit wieder zurück?

Ich bin schon 1995 permanent ausgewandert!

Deutsche Auswanderer: Warum so viele wie nie das Land verlassen | FAZ (behind paywall) "Viele junge, gut qualifizierte Deutsche verlassen das Land. Ein Ökonom sagt: Das „Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis“ in Deutschland stimmt nicht mehr. Über eine übersehene Krise, die niemanden kaltlassen sollte."

Die Migrations-Erzählung wackelt: Die Fleißigen fliehen aus Deutschland inklusive Deutsche

Neues aus der Bananenrepublik D! Neben der Immigration gibt es auch die Emigration! Wer haette das gedacht!

Man kann auch mit den Füssen abstimmen (vote by feet) wenn die politische Lage sich dauerhaft verschlechtert oder das Staatsversagen zunimmt.

Auch deutsche Nachrichtenmedien bedauerlicherweise verwechseln Migration und Immigration. Zwei völlig verschiedene Dinge! Der Begriff Migration scheint besonders beliebt bei linken Medien zu sein. In der Vergangenheit wurden z.B. Grenzgänger und Zigeuner als Migranten angesehen. Oder wie definiert man Migration unumstritten?

"... Neben dem politisch gewünschten Rückgang der Geflüchteten und der ungewollten Rückwanderung in die neuen EU-Mitgliedsländer deutet sich eine dritte Entwicklung an: Immer mehr Deutsche verlassen das Land. 2025 waren es fast 100.000. „Damit ist zwar noch kein kritisches Niveau erreicht. Jedoch ist der Anstieg um etwa 30 Prozent seit 2023 ein deutliches Warnsignal“ ..."

Die große Abwendung – Jüngeren Deutsche wollen kündigen und Deutschland verlassen

Was ist dran? Wie ernst ist die Lage in der Bananenrepublik D?

Nur eine vorübergehende, negative Stimmungslage oder schlimmer?

"Gut jeder Vierte (26 Prozent) sagt, er überlege ernsthaft, aus Deutschland auszuwandern, ermittelte das Meinungsforschungsinstitut INSA in diesen Tagen. Nein, die auswandern wollen, werden nicht alle schon morgen die Koffer packen. Aber es ist der Ausdruck tiefster Unzufriedenheit; es ist eine Abkehr von diesem Land. Man möchte weg. Nur weg. Eine Besserung wird nicht mehr erwartet.

Besonders schlimm: Es sind die unter 40-Jährigen. 37 Prozent wollen auswandern. ...

Die Wähler der FDP [gibt es die überhaupt noch?] sind mit acht Prozent Auswanderungswilligen die kleinste Gruppe, die der AfD stellen mit 40 Prozent die größte Gruppe ..."

Die große Abwendung – Deutschland zieht aus "Deutschland erlebt eine massive Kündigungswelle: Die Jüngeren wenden sich von diesem Land ab – die Leistungsträger sowieso. Auswanderung wird zum Massenphänomen. Unternehmen verlagern Fabriken, Sparer ihr Kapital. Es ist die Antwort auf das groteske Versagen der Parteien und parteipolitisierten Eliten. "

Immer mehr Deutsche verlassen das Land – 2025 könnte Rekordjahr werden mit über 300.000 Auswanderern

Schlagzeilen aus der Bananenrepublik D.!

"... Einen Rekord könnte es 2025 allerdings geben: bei der Auswanderung von Deutschen. Allein von Januar bis April verließen 93.000 Bundesbürger ihre Heimat Richtung Ausland. Der Anteil der Deutschen an allen Personen, die Deutschland verlassen, beträgt etwa 21 Prozent. ...

Sollte sich der Trend vom ersten Quartal 2025 fortsetzen, dann würde die Emigration ... in diesem Jahr einen Höchststand erreichen. Im vergangenen Jahr zog es 296.986 Deutsche ins Ausland. ...

War tensions accelerate Israel's Arab brain drain

Bad news! It appears the article is more about alarmism and hysteria or attention grabbing.

Plus, the article seems to have woke perspective given some of the examples presented.

The article does not mention or omitted whether any high profile scientists are leaving.

"... According to the Israel Democracy Institute, at the start of the war, only 59% of Israeli Arabs (compared to 80% of Jews) said they preferred to remain in Israel - the lowest figure recorded in the past decade. Although this figure rose to 70% in October 2024 (matching the Jewish population), it remains significantly lower in the Arab community compared to previous periods ...

The Arab community’s sense of insecurity is also linked to rising crime rates. Over the past five years, crime in Arab society has surged, with each year seeing more victims than the previous one. At the beginning of this month, six people were murdered in a single day. Since the start of the year, 35 Arab citizens have been murdered (as of February 19), including two women - compared with 21 in the same period the previous year. 28 of the 2025 victims were shot to death, of which 15 were under 30 years of age, according to non-profit organization The Abraham Initiatives. The Bureau for Combating Crime and Violence in Arab Society in the Prime Minister's Office analyzed the 2024 cases and found that 85% of the cases remain unsolved. ..."

Wealth migration 2024: China to see biggest millionaire exodus in 2024 as many head to U.S. The UK is second, India 3rd

Bad news for China!

They say money talks! A case of voting by feet!

"China saw the world's biggest outflow of high-net-worth individuals last year and is expected to see a record exodus of 15,200 in 2024, dealing a further blow to its economy, a new report says.

Uncertainty over China's economic trajectory and geopolitical tensions are top of mind for many Chinese millionaires, in dollar terms, who choose to leave their country, according to the report by investment migration firm Henley & Partners. The U.S., China's international archrival, stands out as the top destination, according to the researchers.

China last year saw 13,800 high-net-worth individuals depart, mostly to the U.S., Canada and Singapore, the firm found. Such individuals, abbreviated as HNWIs, are defined as those with at least $1 million in assets. ..."

"... China is again on track to be the biggest millionaire loser globally, with an anticipated net exit of 15,200 HNWIs this year (compared to 13,800 in 2023) whereas India has stemmed its wealth exodus, dropping down to 3rd place after the UK with just 4,300 millionaires projected to leave the country in 2024 (compared to 5,100 last year). South Korea’s HNWI flight is expected to rise with a forecast loss of 1,200 millionaires (compared to 800 in 2023) while the tsunami of millionaires that fled Russia following the outbreak of the Ukraine war appears to be abating with only 1,000 projected to relocate this year (compared to 8,500 in 2022 and 2,800 in 2023). ...
With its zero income tax, golden visas, luxury lifestyle, and strategic location, the UAE has entrenched itself as the world’s number one destination for migrating millionaires and is poised to welcome a record net inflow of 6,700 this year alone. ..."

To put this a little bit into perspective:

"The UK is expected to see an unprecedented net loss of 9,500 millionaires in 2024 — second only to China"

Emigration of trained Cameroon health care workers to Canada exacerbates Inequality. Really!

The brain drain from developing to developed countries is not a new phenomenon! It is several decades old if not a century or more.

Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health phrased this as: Health Worker Exodus [???] Exacerbates Inequality [???]. Really! What a foolish, narrow minded opinion!

Not mentioned in this lousy article: 

1. Regularly significant remittances and all the benefits that come with it
2. Does e.g. Cameroon train more medical staff than needed domestically?
3. When do these emigrants typically return to Cameroon or other countries of Africa?

"... One pipeline: Cameroon to Canada. About a third of last year's medical graduates from Cameroon have already left the country for higher-paying jobs in North America and Europe. ..."
