Expert: Here's the 'Demographic Gap' That Will Really Happen
Arutz Sheva ^ | 7/4/11 | David Lev

Posted on 04/06/2011 3:07:51 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

While most Israelis worry about a prospective demographic imbalance between Jews and Arabs in the Land of Israel, with demographers claiming that, under current trends, Arabs will eventually outnumber Jews in the country, Professor Arnon Sofer of Haifa University says that there is a more realistic demographic change afoot.

And while the notion of Arab births eventually causing Jews to become a minority in the Land of Israel is by no means accepted by all demographers, the imbalance Sofer speaks of – that between the diminishing of the secular Israeli population in the State of Israel and the growth of the religious one – is often spoken of as a proven fact, by religious and secular alike.

Sofer, from his secular point of view, actually sees this imbalance as more dangerous, because he predicts it will cause increasing numbers of secular Jews to seek their futures abroad – causing Israel to lose a sizeable and important segment of its population.

Blow up the condom factories, and make it look like Hamas did it. Good idea for Europe, too.

Now, if the Rabbis all get together and permit polygamy in Israel, we "fanatics" will be able to out-baby-make the Arabs, too. Hands down, knees up.

It makes me think the Catholics might know something about birth control and the survival of one’s tribe.

Every once and a while I’ll see articles like this, but why don’t we see the same concern for England, France, Italy, Sweden, etc., which are in the same exact situation?

Italy is the worst. Italians will be extinct in a couple generations.

It is politically incorrect to refer to whites as a people with a National and religious heritage worth perserving. The Jewish elite have not done this to Jews.

Therefore you can’t say to the whites in France, “Hey you guys! There will be no more Frenchies if you don’t increase your birth rate and get with it.” You can’t talk about the good aspects of the French pepole and their culture (you can only talk about what is bad about the French based on the wars they won in the past) and how awful it would be to lose them from the face of the earth. That would be racist.

The Western elite want western people and cultures to die. They need third world peasants for the New World Order.

Sure. Why can’t we just be promiscuous hedonists, and reproduce at below the replacement rate, like all those secular Jews, Frenchmen and Germans?

America is in far worse shape than any European Country or Israel. Children born to the founding population of this country this year or at some point in the next decade will be officially discriminated against and despised minorities.

Uh, hate to break it to ya, but the founding ethnicity was white anglo saxon protestant. Those are already a minority. Have been for probably three or four generations now. At least.

Considering the unemployment, welfare, and lack of army service of the Haredim in Israel, this is a matter of concern.

Now if the population increase came from the religious zionist/Bnei Akiva/Kipot Srugot, Israel would be greatly improved.

Haredim have been serving more lately. If Shas gets the majority of the votes and forms a government, you’ll see a big change in attitude among Haredim.
