Birthrate = Birthright
The Jewish birth rate was expected to exceed that of Muslims in Israel over the next 18 years, a report said.
A study by the Washington-based American-Israel Demographic Research Group said Jewish fertility, the highest in the developed world, was rapidly approaching that of Arabs in Israel. The group, in a report entitled "Forecast for Israel 2025," projected a 79 percent Jewish majority as well as long-term population stability between Jewish-Arab population groups in Israel.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
How interesting. It seems only yesterday we were being told that the Arabs would soon be overwhelming the Israelis demographically.

Great minds etc.

Kishke, Fern:
The great thing about Arab mothers is that they urge their children to die as martyrs as early as possible. This gives Jewish population growth great leverage. They love death, we love life. You tell me, who ends up the winner?
1. Jews.
2. Muslims.
3. Klingons.
If you failed this test you are probably a Muslim who writes for the N.Y Times.

Pop Quiz:
Muslim "martyrs" have slaughtered more:
1. Americans.
2. Muslims
3. Klingons.
4. Jews.
If you failed this test you are a prime candidate for "martyrs" operations.

Yeah, I know, Muslims. But so what? Sure, we win on numbers in the end, but even one of ours is too many.

Kishke:
You cannot win a war without taking casualties. We have to accept this. If we don't we will forever be held hostage by our insistence on low to zero casualties. This state of mind will, in the end, get even more Jews killed.

Absolutely. But I don't view suicide-bombing deaths as casualties in the war. To the contrary, they are the product of not fighting the war as it should be fought. The fact that they kill more of their own than of ours with suicide bombings means nothing, since there are so very many more of them to begin with. A war of attrition is not what we need.

kind of throws a wrench into Arafat's whole "phased-plan" strategy doesn't it?
