Most Jews have very few children. This is what happens in a non agrarian non pastoralist socoety. When your birth rate is below replacement value, what do you expect? That is why Orthodox will be the new majority soon, and why Palestinians are outbreeding you.

What is a Jew? Is a Jew some one who was born to a non Jewish mother but decides to live as a Jew? Is a Jew some one who was born to a Jewish family but decides there is no God? Is a Jew some one who supports our enemies (think JStreet and ultra liberals)? So before you count the Jews, first let us define what is a Jew! Remember many Jews in Germany before WWII were deeply assimilated and had no desire or need to identify as Jews, and many did not consider themselves as Jews. Should we count them as Jews?

Stalinist Russian Jewry millions were almost totally atheist and Bolshevic Stalinist by then and in Poland alot of Bundists .Assimilationists in Western Europe and Hungary . Nazis still killed them of six million many not religious tho many ultraorthodox and traditional. Indeed the Ultraothodox and Religious Zionists and Secular Israeli Jews are keeping the Jewishness in all its facets alive. But Maximalist Survivalism is called for by Iron Clad Defense and Solid Deterrant Capacity .

A Jew is a person who adheres to the Law of Moses, and that means that there are very, very few Jews in this world. But that has been the history of the Jew; God has only a remnant to work with to fulfill his prophetic Word.

Gathering this information on a reliable basis is impossible. Even in the US, participation in a census is voluntary and the questions include ethnicity, not religion.

If also the Rabbis could grant also Jewishness to children born to jewish fathers and non jewish mothers.

If the pre-war figure of 16.6 million was correct, and six million were killed during the war, then with minimal childbirth during the war years there should have been just 10.6 million after the war. But the number was closer to 12 million. Other estimates suggest a historic high of 17.5 million in 1939. But the fact that we've yet to recover to that pre-war figure, while partially explained by low birth rates and inter-marriage, has a historic precedent. Jews during late Second Temple times comprised 5-10% of the Roman Empire - at least four million. But Jewish numbers were crushed during the revolts, most dramatically during the Bar Kochba rebellion. Many who survived assimilated into the surrounding cultures. By the time of the Islamic conquests, Jewish numbers were down to around one million. It took over 1700 years (!) to reach those Second Temple era numbers.

statistics like these are a sin.

How come, according to this article, the world Jewish population "only" fell by 5.1 million during the war? We always talk about 6 million.

like Zal Lackow of FB! Incredible how one person can get so many things wrong at once....

...is the amount of Jewish children killed during the Holocaust. When children are killed, it means a generation is lost and population growth is stunted.

were sterilized or could not bring children into such an evil world. The most common method of sterilizing Jews and other prisoners in the death camps and work camps was to have the person fill out paperwork, standing at a certain position so that unknown to the person, 2 X-rays were aimed at the reproductive tract for two minutes which results in sterilization. This is being done in nations now that did not ban the backscatter X-ray machines at airports that are intentionally causing cancer and sterility in those who opt out of being molested by TSA agents. According to Dr. Bill Campbell Douglass II who measured the radiation being emitted from the backscatter X-ray machines at airports, it is the equivalent dose of 400 regular X-rays. Even one regular X-ray at a dentist is to potentially dangerous, the abdomen and thorax are covered with a lead shield and the tech or dentist hides behind a lead partition. Nothing is done to protect the head, so dental X-rays can cause tumors of the thyroid gland and brain. Imagine what the backscatter X-rays at airports are doing. Then there are the backscatter X-rays on police vans roaming neighborhoods in the USA, peeking into homes and irradiating the occupants unless there is a metal paper or metal sheet deflecting the backscatter X-rays back at the van. It is a good idea to put metal paper in the attic at the ceiling and also on inside walls with a layer of drywall over that or put metallic wallpaper on all walls as a protection from the government insanity of X-raying homes.

So, G-d sent the European's countless blood thirsty Muslims to extract revenge on them.... The best is yet to come. KEEP BUILDING START WITH THE THIRD TEMPLE.!!
