		History: The areas known today as Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, were in 1922 designated under the British Mandate as a single territorial unit called Palestine.

	Power Line: The problem is not demographics
		Palestinians have relied on demographics to demoralize Israelis, while Israeli politicians have relied on them to sell accommodationist policies to their constituents.
		The demographics in question consisted of Palestinian estimates placing the Arab population of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip at 3.83 million, and the Israeli Arab population at 1.33 million, for a total of 5.16 million Arabs west of the Jordan River, compared to 5.24 million Jews.
		In short, the demographic bombshell appears to be a dud.

		Demographic analyst Yoram Ettinger says Israel is gaining the lead in the regional demographic race and that "there is no need to retreat from Jewish Geography in order to secure Jewish Demography."
		In his latest report, Ettinger reports that the Jewish fertility rate in Israel is among the highest in the industrialized world.
		Since 1995, the annual number of Arab births within Israel's Green Line has stabilized around 37,000, while the annual number of Jewish births has increased by 34% (from 80,400 in 1995 to 107,000 in 2006).

	Jewish Currents - Demographics and Democracy in the Jewish State
		Israel is a highly segregated society in which "separate but unequal" is the norm.
		Israel, after all, may be a flawed democracy, but the rest of the region consists of authoritarian regimes that have far less respect for human rights.
		Israel's Declaration of Independence calls for "complete equality of social and political rights for all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex." This is a noble statement, but it will do nothing to resolve the tension between democracy and demographics in Israel until it is translated into law and vigorously enforced.

	The demographics point to a binational state - Haaretz - Israel News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A research project recently conducted at the Israel Defense Forces National Defense College shows that the number of Palestinians that have entered sovereign Israel in the decade since the Oslo Accords (whether illegally or through legal marriages and family unification) is around 240,000.
		Demographers agree that these numbers are inconsequential for long-term demographic processes (they share the same view of the small differences in life expectancy between the two sectors).
		Even DellaPergola, given to low-key predictions, estimates that by 2050 Israel's Arab sector may grow to nearly 30 percent of the population, "and although the Jewish majority remains stable with such a ratio, such numbers are more typical of a binational state, with all that the term implies.

		The background is that in 1997 the PA/PLO published a census report (Demographic Indicators of the Palestinian Territory, 1997-2015) which projected that the Arab population west of the Jordan River would by 2015 outnumber the Jewish population.
		A number of Israeli demographers jumped on the bandwagon and published predictions that Israeli Jews would soon find themselves outnumbered in the area west of the Jordan river.
		The secular and leftist Jews in Israel are on the decline.

		It is an anomaly that doesn't exist, apparently, anywhere else in the world: Residents of eastern Jerusalem enjoy the status of being residents of Israel, with all the attendant benefits, including national insurance, education, freedom of movement, education and health care.
		If in the past Israel has freely granted citizenship or residency rights to Druze residents of the Golan Heights, residents of Rajar in the north and Arabs in eastern Jerusalem in order to establish ownership of the land, and if territory was more important than demographics, then Israel must reverse its priorities.
		Demographic stats have done their work, and now we understand that demographics are more important than land area, because people, not land, are the determining factor in a democracy.

	Flawed demographics fuel pullout plans
		Leaning on what an in-depth survey has proven to be false demographic data, Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Tuesday closed the 6th annual Herzliya Conference by stating Israel has no choice but to relinquish much of its biblical heartland and draw more favorable final borders.
		But a detailed study released last year revealed that the demographic figures many Israelis feel necessitate creating a separate Palestinian Arab state in order to protect the Jewish democracy have been grossly inflated.
		In it, the experts pointed out that Israel had taken to blindly relying on Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics figures, which are nothing more than a forecast developed in 1998, and not actual demographic data.

	Anti-Demographics
		If Israel keeps the West Bank and Gaza under its control, it will have to choose between two painful options: either losing its Jewish character or ceasing to be a democratic state.
		Israel will have relative safety and security, they presume, behind a protective fence, with a Jewish majority under Israeli sovereignty and a 'consensus' that will unify the country in common purpose.
		The "demographic" argument is but a thinly veiled policy of defeat, forced "transfer" of Jews (only) from their homes and the creation of a terror-based Palestinian state.

		In many instances, Israel also allows the immediate non-Jewish family of immigrants to immigrate and acquire citizenship in the law know as the Law of Return.
		This same schism exists in Israel, in which Jewishness for religious purposes is determined by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.
		Also, Israel's Interior Ministry generally has the same criteria as the Orthodox rabbinate for considering someone as Jewish, and thus there are a large number of people who have immigrated under the Law of Return, but are not considered Jewish by the Rabbinate or the Interior Ministry.
