Lulavim available

Israeli technological prowess went head to head against the Arab Spring, and won.

Israel Matzav wrote about the ability to obtain lulavim.

The Jewish virtual library estimates that as of 2010 there were 5,703,700 Jews living in Israel and 5,275,000 Jews living in America.

One can see that the percentage of Jews who are planning to use a lulav is much higher in Israel than in America. It's time to make aliyah.
