Leave after 2 years... I know so many of them, ssdly

Straight from this opus: 1 - "Over the past year, some 176,000 babies were born and some 23,000 new olim arrived in Israel." 2 - "During 2014, some 162,000 people were added to Israel's population" The rest is simple math.

You can both find answers to your questions on this official page of The Central Bureau of Statistics. It is updated during the first 10 days of each month. There you will find many interesting numbers. Click "Publications and Products", next click on "periodicals", and finally click on "Monthly Bulletin of Statistics". From there you will easily find the relevant numbers on demography. To Sarah: There ar four factors deciding the development of the population; Births minus deaths and immigration minus emigration. The immigrants are not only made up by olims, but also returning Israelis. But this numbers are more harder to find, as well as the number who emigrates (staying outside Israel for more than a year). Here you may do some extra search, but I think emigrating Israelis are left out of the total population number of Israel, even though they still have Israeli citizenship. Thre are now more than 130 000 Jewish babies born in Israel each year, and steadily growing. That means that 6.3 million Israeli Jews will get same number of births as for 17 million Germans, Italians or Spaniards. In Europe the fertility rate is still declining, while in Israel it is still increasing, except for the Arabs segment, who also have a declining fertility.

The math is not so simple.
