		The West Asian economy also is characterized by huge disparities in personal incomes between the wealthy and the poor, inconsistent educational systems and the marginalization of women in the workforce.
		This economic situation, when combined with unstable politics and demographics that include an explosion of young people, has the potential to produce a population that is highly "aggrieved." Fifty-two percent of West Asia’s 300 million people are under the age of 18.
		Millions of West Asians who fled the region for Europe or the United States over the past several decades – the West Asian diaspora – should return home with their hard currency and experience, and push for needed political and economic reforms.

		The demographic threat is that probably by the end of this decade, because of differing birth rates, Arabs will outnumber Israeli Jews in the area that Israel controls between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
		It is that combination of demographics and the terrorist threat that is leading Israelis to demand of their government that they put up a fence and disengage from the Palestinian population.
		In the West Bank, they’ll be happy to have the Israeli army out and the checkpoints gone, and have those outlying settlements evacuated as well.

		The demographic results from the Territories were mixed: While Gaza’s ratio increased from 9.5 percent in 1967 to 11.5 percent by 2004, the West Bank’s share fell from 16 to 15 percent.
		For the purposes of calculating the past and current populations of the region, it was important to expose the faulty demographic figures widely cited with regard to the entire region-Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza.
		Thus, the entire “demographic time bomb” theory must be re-examined in light of the respective long-term demographic prognosis for Israel and the West Bank, to the exclusion of Gaza.

		If that is the case, it means that a negotiated two-state solution is impossible and Israel is doomed to permanent occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
