摘要：The present article, written for the Bulletin du centre de recherche francais de Jérusalem aims at highlighting the territorial repercussions of the wave of immigration from the former Soviet Union which Israel has, and still is, experiencingg1. Throughout this article, two major issues are examined: the socio-spatial logics of the roughly 800,000 inhabitants of the FSU who have come to Israel since 1989, and the spatial practices which emerge from an analysis of their distribution in space. These considerations are based primarily on analysis of data from the national census of the population in 1995, as well as specialized statistical sources dealing with this immigration. Current events guided the conclusion of this article. The terrible events of recent months have led to a reflection on the strategic dimension that immigration could have within the framework of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As of the first instants of aliya from the FSU, the medias, the scientific community, and the Palestinian leadership all stressed, not unjustifiably, the “demographic danger” of the return to Israel of a level of immigration comparable to the one that occurred at the time the State was founded. Thus, although today discussions appear to have refocused on the demographic issue, which itself vehicles a large number of prejudices, it seemed crucial to try to summarize the impact of this immigration on the growth of the settlements beyond the Green Line at a time when the future of these settlements is at the very heart of this controversy.
