Be like the Haredim, count men only on the ground floor in synagogues.

Jews should keep on having them. And build off shore islands. But keep having children. The West is dying with below replacement birth rates and massive third world immigration. Israel is the Happy outlier - Israrl will live

Thank you for this article. I am willing to help the State of Israel concerning over-crowding. Population growth can be managed by implementing state laws with neighboring countries.

Regards

No wonder ......

If the Jews don't have a high birth rate, then the Arabs will take over the country.
I'd rather a crowded Jewish country than an Arabs country, thank you very much.
Also (another stupidity in this article)
If you are afraid of overcrowding, easy enough to have people emigrate and go to other countries. This way you can help build the world jewish population and ultimately, strengthen Israel by having a large connected expatriate community

The problem with young Israeli couples is instead of making babies they buy 2 or 3 dogs and raise them like their own children. The so called over population may come from over immigration from non Jewish communities in Africa and the former Soviet Union and other places.

I have seen multitudes of goyim immigrating into Israel.

a new low in preaching anti Jewish, atheist values. disgusting...

Oh Israel children ARE a Joy and a wonderful blessing from the Lord God of Israel! Annex Shomrom and you'll have no space problems for your burgeoning population! Take back what is rightfully yours! Sounds to me like your population growth will exceed that of Palestinians! So then no more being worried about being voted out of your land, right?? Hallelujah. No excuses now Israel!!! Annex!! Tell the world governments that are pressuring you to get lost. Do what is right and Biblically yours!!! Do not fear! God hasn't brought you this far to take you back again.. He brought you out of the world to bring you in to Your promised Land your inheritance!!! Be bold and courageous!

Israel can also make use of the huge desert areas, it just needs to get its act together and capture every drop of winter storm water runoff. Just as New Orleans has huge pumps to keep the city dry when it floods, Israel needs to do the same. Trap it, retain it, filter it, and pump into the national water carrier system. It can be done. Of course, billions of dollars a year are wasted on defense because our neighbors are psychopaths. These neighborly idiots don't realize that they also will be waterless in a few short years. But they'd rather kill Jews. Abbas spends tens of millions of dollars a year on pay-to-slay stipends for terrorists and their families instead of helping to build infrastructure that will provide water in the future. He's a total waste of a human being. Don't let his stupidity slow Israel down.

Build new islands off the coast and new cities in the Negev. It is possible. And you better start now.

...the Negev, in the Aravah, in the Golan and along the Jordan Valley. All of these parts of the country are part and parcel of that which international law, inclukding UN charter, defines "the national home of the Jewish people" where Jews may settle at will on state owned land, public lands which are not in used, as well as privately owned Jewish land.

The Shoresh Institution, headed by economist Prof. Dan Ben-David will better serve the country if he goes to sell hot dogs. We have half of our country empty and he, big brain, proposes to shorten borns instead to build infrastructure off the country's center?

So the left says we have to give up judea and samaria for demographic reasons. They it says we are overpopulated and need to cut the Jewish birth rate

Just take one drive from the Golan to Eilat. There's plenty of room for 100 new cities

of his life: Israel becoming JEWISH state, with Jewish population growing fast.
What a pathetic piece of human waste!
No words can describe the content i have for this Trotskist.

60% of Israeli Jews 4 million out of 6.5 million squeezed along a narrow strip of land 60 miles long and 6-10 miles wide toxic situation
defenseless in a war and has created toxic social problems

consequences of exponential population growth. Exponential population growth across the planet has decimated the planets "life-support" systems. The seas are dying, the soil is becoming poisonous, the air isn't being recycled anymore because we have destroyed the forests, the bacteria and insects that recycle all the organic matter are disappearing at an alarming rate. We are only beginning to understand how complex the web of life support is. Israel's situation is particularly bleak, only the Arab countries are in a worse position. It is probably too late to stop the slide to oblivion but at least we could avoid hastening the end with a pointless and destructive population growth.

This is why the Jews need to settle in Samaria, Judea and the Golan.

And it's still a great place to live. A more populous Israel will also be a great place to live, and more secure and powerful to book. All we need is to build a few subway lines to solve the traffic gridlock.

Philadelphia has a population of almost 2 million people in a geographic area of 135 square miles. With a geographic area of over 8000 square miles, Israel can absorb millions more. Israel just needs to build more public transport networks instead of more roads. Then the population can be spread out over the Negev and the Galil.

The writer thinks that tell Aviv is Israel and everything else is not. He would rather see an Arab majority than a Jewish one if that Jewish one is religious . He hates religious Jews more than anything else. It keeps him up at night knowing that the future majority will be religious and he will inevitably live in a religious Jewish state. Hopefully him and his ilk will repent or leave.

it's overcrowded because of the huge broods of arabs...get rid of the arabs
no more overcrowding.

will give elbow room Peace with these states will come-never with Pals They will only be happy with all from River to the Sea ...Develop rail links internally and to as far East as Oman and along Med coast as far West as Morocco(Minister Katz has right ideas). Dont worry all these countries need peace with Israel more than the opposite.;
Develop city nodes like Beersheva,
Ashkelon Eilat Tsfat etc which will give employment opportunities to dormitory communities around them..Concentrate on IT .Go full steam to develop the Negev. In cities develop Tube Underground rail.. Also offshore Islands.

Natural resources are being exploited faster than the Nature can replenish them. When there is no more water, food and clean air to breathe, people will have to leave Israel. My timeline for this exodus is 2050 - 32 years from now.

The League of Nations gave the Jewish people, in 1922, a provisional independence on a territory between the Mediterranean Sea till the Desert of Arabia (including Jordan of today). The British becoming Mandatory of Palestine proposed to limit the territory for the time being (???), just between the Med. Sea and the Jordan River. As there was no opposition by Haim Weizmann and Nahum Sokolow, both present at the vote for the Mandate for Palestine, the 24th of July 1922, the British proposal was accepted and figures in Article 25 of the League's Resolution. So, the Jewish people lost 77 % of the promised territory. Weizmann and Sokolow didn't oppose the British proposal as anyhow both refused obstinately the creation of an Independent Jewish State! At the 18th Zionist Congress Jabotinsky requested to define the goal of Zionism and he said: the goal should be a Jewish Independent State with a Jewish majority on both sides of the Jordan River! Weizmann replied that he had no understanding for a Jewish majority governing an Arab minority, because it would be a "Hottentotten Justice". Jabotinsky's request was rejected. The 29th of November 1947 the UN voted the partition of the remaining 23% of Palestine. A blatant juridical breach (Res Judicata) as the case had already been settled by the League of Nations! And today, the Left, after Israel having lost the Gaza Strip, proposes to withdraw from the so-called West Bank. Suppose that in the future, following an eventual rise of anti-Semitism in the world, another few Millions of Jews would try to immigrate to Israel…. Where would they be housed? In 100 meters high apartment buildings spread throughout the country??? A failure of the Zionist project!!!

and make it a mandatory reading in all Bedouins schools in Israel. In the meantime there is plenty of land for development in Judea and Samaria and the Negev.

Will have less power in the next generation. You can cry a million times about overpopulation but by definition you will be a smaller and smaller voice with each passing year. Might as well suggest suicide.

Once Israel clearly rejects the evil fiction of "Palestine", the sky is the limit! We can usher in a new era of nation building. In the first place, Israel needs to reclaim all our lands we insanely gave to our mortal "Palestinian" foes, such as parts of Judea and Samaria, Gaza and our South Lebanon Security Zone. These idiotic retreats are the root cause of most of Israel's serious problems. We also need to expand our land mass by building artificial islands.

Israel is also in an excellent position to purchase, and otherwise obtain, large parcels of land as artificial Arab nations, like Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, fall apart. History shows large powerful nations like the U.S., China and Germany were once small. Israel can follow their path, if we have the courage to take our destiny in hand.

Israel will intrude in West Bank to enlarge. no turning back. might and possession is 10/10 of the law.
