AHC: a much greater migration of American Jewish to Israel

The challenge is to have about 1.000.000 of American-born Jews living in Israel today (the same number of Russians living in Israel). The POD must be after 1948.
 
Damn, I was going to suggest that there is more Nazi fanatacism in the United states, and America remains Antisemetic, but off course, that would require an earlier POD.

A Scenario similar to 'A World of Hope and a World of tears' Where Jews are actively persecuted, there may be a bigger drive to return to Zion.
 
You didn't say when exactlly in 1948. Pre state, first truce, second truce....

Anyway, three PODs I can think off.

Israel suffers more casualties in 1948-49 war so there is big drive for increased immigration to increase the numbers and replace losses.

Another is that after 1967 war Israel makes a peace with Jordan that gives them control over part of West Bank. That land becomes a part of Israel and there is drive to populate it, being promised land, heart of Jewish faith and so on.

Or in 1948-49 war Israel ends up with chunk of West Bank (with or without Jerusalem). Again moving to promised land, heart of Jewish faith etc.

I don't think it would be flood but a steady flow.
