You clearly have either no real idea of what a democracy is, what actually goes on here, or what a true dictatorship involves. You have no idea how good we have it here, and your hateful rhetoric is more dangerous than Hizbollah and Hamas put together.

They have no resources to take care of their children and in-breed to the tune of diseases that the rest of us rush to find treatments for. There is a reason for population control, and it is actually quite enlightened. Nice try, though.

You are a christian, you live in the Gulf States where you don't pay tax etc etc. You sign off Christian, Lebanon! Make up your mind where you live!

The people and government of Israel have a choice today to integrate with the region and finally accord the Palestinians their rights in full (This includes their right of self-determination). An alternative for Israel is to keep the status quo, namely subjugation and tormenting of Arabs in Palestine/Israel (checkpoints, walls, demolitions, etc.) and living by the sword. While this works today, it will fail on the long run. The human spirit can't be crushed! Demographic reasons are only part of the picture. Moral, ethical, and economic reasons can't be overlooked. Rendez-vous 2022. Beni Isra'eel have a choice. chose wisely. For inspiration, look at the new South Africa.

The problems from Israel would have resolved with the adhesion to Europe. This application must be strongly accelerated.

u have to guess, i didnt want to make it hard on u.....back to ur elementary books maybe u will able to find the answer....

the fact also that there were jews in Iraq , Iran and other arab countries where are today where are their homes and property?? stole by the arabs why arabs not give them it back???? you muslims best in lies. say also that 9/11 was by jews and things like that lie to yourself. bible and jews were here before any of muslims ,mohammad. learn history .

The photo illustrating this article is the woman from Florida who wanted to wear her burqa for a driver's license photo. Yes, I know they all look alike in those garbage bags.

The cover story seems misleading. How can the Jewish population decrease by 1.8% and the Muslims increase b 1.1% OVER 6 YEARS? What about the positive annual population growth of 1.5% ANNUALY (combined Jews and Arabs)? Clearly Ynetnews story is either wrong (numbers wise) or misprinted. Regardless, the current numbers now is not important. What is more important is the trend. Since Bibi Netanayahu cut the welfare checks for large families, there has been a large decrease in the fertility rate of Muslim women while at the same time the average Israeli Jewish women are having more children as the Russian Jews assimilate into Israeli society trends of having more than 1 child as well as more Israeli Jewish women having babies later in their life. Meanwhile the Ultra-Orthodox continue to have large families despite the welfare cuts. So the trend is as follows: Slower growth for Arabs (Christians and Druze already lower than Jewish growth rate) and faster growth for Jews. So the demographic future for Israel is safe despite the alarmists. The only possible demographic fear will be the secular Jews who will be afraid of the rising power of a large Ultra-Orthodox population, getting more Knesset seats and demanding more funding for their sector.

Certainly what abbas says is truth. but dont worry because in 20-30 years zionism will be dead as so many jewish-israelis are leaving to go to London and NYC with few replacing them.

It is the Islamic capital of Europe. It is a very very very Anti-Semitic country. That is why I boycott the UK.

Jews liquidate the UK or the UK will liquidate you. The UK has cursed Jews and will be cursed just like Sodom. London is a city with militant Islam. Buckingham Palace will be become an Islamic center.

When third world immigrants come in, Jews move out. It has become a third world immigrant ghetto infested with violent criminals. Jews need to leave New York and move to Israel. Militant Islam is destroying that area.

Israel will need to give up more land for peace. There is plenty of land for both people. Israel , 100 th smallest country in the world, is large. Most of the land is undeveloped and not used. There is an excess of land. The British knew that.

Regarding the Arab ownership, the MidEast Web states "At the time of partition, slightly less than half the land in all of Palestine was owned by Arabs, slightly less than half was "crown lands" belonging to the state, and about 8% was owned by Jews or the Jewish Agency. 92% should be Palestine 8% Israel Anyone agree? disagree? Why? Give me a reason.

This solves the demogrpahic problem. Jews will not assimilate into Arab culture. It will be an all Jewish state. The Arabs will have an all Arab state. The Arabs prevent Jews from killing one another. If it is not for the Arab presence, Jews would have killed each other and there would not be a Jewish state. In a crazy way, we have to thank the Arabs. Anyone agree?

the choice of a veiled Muslim woman to refect the the Muslims (i.e Palestinians) in pre-1948 Palestine (so-called Israel) shows how true professional journalistic Ynet is!! any way, despite the picture does not relfect the true face of the modern Palestinian society, I thank the idiot who chose the photo to stop the Zionists from immigrating to our homeland, of course, less Jews and more Arabs in my homeland would contribute to more peace in the land of peace.

check out the information of talkback no.4. But of course it probably wouldn;t make any difference because you and the world have been brain-washed for almost four decades.

1) All Arab state 2) All Palestinian State This will prevent a lot of internal fighting. Jews can not be a minority in a Palestinian state and Arabs can not be a minority in a Jewish state. The Israeli Arabs have suffered from this minority status and this will bring another intafada.

Peace in the Mid-East is my New Year Wish!!

You, the author, forgot (intentionnaly?) to add that the birthrate in the muslim sector decreased drasticly during the last 5 years and continue to do so while the jewish birthrate is stable (even slightly increase). http://www.cbs.gov.il/yarhon/c1_e.htm Things are more simple than you want us to believe : You want less muslims? OK this means all the land populated by Arabs in East J'lem, Wadi Ara and Triangle area must be ceded like 90% of the West Bank to Jordan (70% of Jordan is already of palestinians origin). In parallel Israel should draft the Arab-israeli youth to the IDF or to a civil service. Those who refused to serve should have their civic right (right to vote) revoked and their welfare income reduced. Same for the ultra-orthodox. The unhappy will immigrate to oil rich countries like Qatar or Dubaï... In the end, Israel will be as muslims as countries like France, Holland, Belgium or Germany, may be even less and without undemocratic methods preached by NRP. Inch Allah.

NO. I do not agree. You must be a leftist

We DO exist as you know..... We have a lowest birth rate and the highest education level in the county...

Someone else may have already pointed out the error in this article. According to the demographic study, the growth rate "among the Jewish population was steady at 1.5%." It's the Jewish PERCENTAGE of the entire population that has fallen slightly.

I want peace. If I felt like you did, there will never be a peace. That is why my views are "leftist". There is plenty of room for a 2 state solution. Israel financially can not afford all the land that it has now.

Such an "authentic Jewish state" would be economically unproductive, militarily unprepared, and ignorant of anything except trival aspects of Halacha. But how babchon thinks 25% will lead to Haredi dominance, and within a generation no less, is a mystery. Must be the Jew Math.

This "less is more" principal may or may not benefit architecture, but it has no place as an axiom for Israeli policy making. When will you educate yourself? Really, dude, there are numerous talkbackers here who have explained all this many, many times. If you were Muslim, I would agree that you would be invincibly ignorant.

Come, come to Haifa. Enjoy your live there. I bet in next 5 years, Jewish population rate will increase.

If 76% are Jews, 20% Arabs, what are the other 4%? Would be interesting to see a report on that.
