-New Immigrants? Who would immigrate to Israel ?

Actually, quite a few people. Jews from Russia,
many of the former Soviet republics, from Africa
and Asia immigrate to Israel regularly, trying
to find a place free of persecution where they
have a chance for a better life...

That they're willing to risk terrorist bombs to
do so gives some idea how bad things must be for
them back home...

Things are especially bad for Jews in the former Commie bloc-the lifting
of communist imposed morality unleashed a flood of Jew hate far beyond
anything Stalin did. They're even going to Germany, which shows you how
bad it is. On top of that, Israel's economy is in the tank and the only
people with any money to spend are soldiers (so much so that it's been
suggested that nightclubs are legitimate targets because they're full of
soldiers) yet they still come.

- Anyway..
What times & frequencies are these broadcasts on

I don't think it's shortwave.

Israel Radio has a couple freqs of Hebrew language programming for the
diaspora, and Galei Zahal (sp?) which broadcasts techno music to the
troops and is occasionally heard in NAm.

The IDF operates two stations: Galei Tzahal, known by it's Hebrew
acronym galatz, which is aimed at the troops, which in the U.S. would be
the after high school crowd.

Galatz is required by law to play mostly Israeli music, which would normally
leave them ignored by the soldiers. So they inveted GALGALATZ (Galei Tzhal
on wheels), which is supposed to be a mobile news and entertainment station
run by Galatz. Since it is "temporary", it is not subject to the law.

I've been here 7 years, and Galgalatz was on the air before I got here. :-)
