It gets worse. The birth rate of Israeli Jews is barely above the replacement rate. I.e., each Jewish couple in Israel (of which there are fewer and fewer) has, on average, only 2-3 children. The number of Muslim Israeli citizens is approx. 1.7 million, and each Muslim couple averages 4-5 children.
It doesn't take a very big speadsheet to see where this is going. Israel as we know it will cease to exist within 50 years - not because of the rocket attacks, but because Israeli Jews are not breeding very prolifically.
When it gets to that point, I think that America should extend an invitation to every single Israeli Jew to come join us here. They are a great people and would be a great asset to our country.
