...may you all enjoy 120 years of happiness, prosperity, security and good health, that's the vast majority of us in the Diaspora pray for and wish for all our brethren living in reshit tsmichat gueulatenu!

I don't think Gaza should be included any longer.

Wishing more success and strength to the Jewish State and stability and peace in the Middle East.

Long Live Israel.! Keep strong, Keep the faith, Keep up towards Peace. Since day one you called for Peace, and you get WAR WAR WAR from arabs. Some of them learned the lesson. Some did not. Some WILL if they don´t give up TERRORISMS,CALLING THE SHOA A MYTH, WANTING TO WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP. Finally, they will see that Israel is there forever and ever AND THAT THE PALIS AND ARABS EXTREMISTS, MUST STOP VIOLENCE, TERRORISM, SO THEY CAN LIVE IN PEACE WITH ISRAEL. OR ELSE.... WIAT ANOTHER 60 YEARS.... SOME DAY YOU WILL GET IT: YOU MUST STOP VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM!!!!!!!!!! Long Live ISRAEL! Shalom

although it is sad that on the same day that YNET publishes this article, there is also one that illustrates how the presence of large numbers of non-Jewish Russians is creating the nightmarish kind of situation that Jews never expected to find in Israel: active anti-Semitism. I already wrote a comment on this particular article that was censored. And that's too bad because as Israelis celebrate their growth and progress, there is a need to question whether numbers per se are as important as the preservation of a safe Israel for the Jewish people.

The 5% (others) are us the Arab Christians and Druze, and the zionist enterprise try to plant a wedge between us and the rest of our Arab Palestinian community. If you the unrecognized Bedouin Arabs in the Negev and Triangle, we make up 35% of the population within the green line

That you CANT compare Israel to SOUTH AFRICA !! The Jews are 76% and Arabs and others are 20%+4% Of these 24% Arabs &"Others" how many DONT want to live under a Burka and run around firing AKs!!How many of these 24% like to copy Gaza lifestyle In South Africa there was ONLY 5 Million WHITES to 35 Million BLACKS SO STOP TALKING NONSENSE ABOUT APARTHEID and asking for a wonderful South African Solution . You are crazy or have number dyslexia.

Shame on YOU And #6 TODA RABA

Yuhanna knows what it's like to live in a peaceful country and prosper. All she wants is the same for the entire Middle East. What's wrong with that? What is wrong with wishing peace and prosperity! Lebanon and Israel (and Palestine) could be partners in all kinds of enterprises, from technology to tourism, if only the Israel haters in the Middle East would let the Lebanese and Israelis carry on with their normal lives. Israel is a generous nation and would be happy to cooperate with its neighbors, if only there were peace.

You believe that if you tell lies often enough your friends in world will believe you. This is not a viable plan . Stop having Workshops in Cape Town, South Africa to bluff everyone that this is a Mandela opprtunity to have an Arab majority government in Israel!

All the numbers in this article refer to the State of Israel and its citizen, i.e.: Israel in the pre-1967 borders + East Jerusalem + Golan Heights + the jewish settlements in the West Bank (E. J'Lem and Golan were annexed by Israel in the early 80s, and thus are part of the state, and the "settlers" in the West Bank are also citizens of Israel. The figures in this article do NOT include the palestinian arabs living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. So there are now 7.15 mio. people living in Israel + jewish settlements in West Bank, of which are 76% jewish and 20% arab. In the Gaza Strip live about 1.4 mio. people, almost all of them muslim arabs. In the West Bank live about 2.5 mio. arabs, most of them muslim, some christians, but I don't know how many of them. So in Israel and the P.A. together, there are about 5.4 mio. Jews and about 5.4 mio. Arabs. - almost equal, but the muslim arabs have a much higher birthrate. Thus, it's obvious that a "one-state-solution" is impossible.

the Jews, the Jewish will, the Jewish history, Jewish survival and Judaism. We have outlived everybody! We have outlived communism, fascism, the Roman, Byzantine, etc. empires and we will outlive the Arabs nationalism, radicalism and terrorism within the Israeli borders and outside of Israel.

years, we will definitely survive and prosper when there is a piece of real estate, our historical beloved land we call Israel. Please remember this the enemies of Jews/Israel wherever you are and whoever you are!

to mute the enemies inside and outside the Jewish Israel.

Jews make up 76% of the population. All the Arabs together(including Muslims, Christians and Druze) make up 20%. One million of the Arabs are Muslim and the rest other. The 4% remaining Israelis are almost all non-Jewish Russians. Yet even this is misleading since many of them have Jewish fathers and consider themselves to be Jewish even though the Rabbis disagree. So in reality Jews and "partial" Jews make up 80% of the population. These so called "partial Jews" serve in the army and every year one thousand convert to Judiasm.

The Jews can also add10's of thousands and more, those who live here permanently but have not changed their citizenship for administrative, taxation and other reasons. Add to that the 10's of thousands who are studying here long term at any on time, and you'll probably find that the Arab population is less than 20%. Moreover the Jewish birthrate is stable or increasing whilst the Arab birth rate is falling every year as Arab women become more westernised and educated. In short the demographic threat is not what it seems.

You write :".., shame on you". Yuhanna is congratulating the Jewish State of Israel -- and she is asking God to bless Israel. IT appears that you can't appreciate someone asking God to bless Israel. THIS behaviour shows that you are an ENVIOUS snake. Conclusion : An envious SNAKE like you can't know God. A brain poisoned by envy towards Israel can NOT possibly know God. You should be ashamed of yourself.

B"H And may the Jewish population grow and grow. Beezrat HaShem I will live in Israel very soon. May more and more Jews in the Galut make Aliyah!

I agree with 21 & 22

not Christians and Druzes. Learn some facts.
