A pragmatic approach is needed that maintains ties with emigrants and their younger generations. Waves of immigration and emigration have been a part of Israel's history since its establishment. Emigration should not be used as a threat, as Israel is strong enough to withstand any wave of departures. Economic arguments for emigration do not hold up, as Israel's economy is thriving and outperforming Western economies. A pragmatic approach to emigrants is necessary, maintaining contact and offering job opportunities to entice them to return. Efforts should also be made to strengthen Jewish identity and connection to the land to reduce emigration.
