This post may be in a class by itself as the most idiotic, ill informed, mindless piece of garbage I have ever read on this board. Seriously, debating with you is beneath practically every single person who posts here except maybe SAMSON. Pick up a book and gain some working knowledge on the Israeli conflict ( as well as world history, US history, politics and life) before you post mindless comments and start multi page threads that blow up in your face after two posts. Here are two questions for you to ponder during the evaluation of your brilliant "birth rate" theory-- (A) If Israel was created in the late 40's and its been 60+ years since, and the Israeli's were outsiders that settled on "Palestinian" land ( a fiction if there ever was one, but I digress), then weren't the Israeli's completely outnumbered population wise from the very moment Israel was formed? (B) If after 60+ years of living in refugee camps and other places in the Arab world, why have only 25 percent of Palestinians ( roughly) become Israeli citizens? Instead of living in tents with no running water or in lawless slums controlled by terrorists, why wouldn't the Palestinians already have figured out that they could achieve your brilliant plan of "overpopulation" and complete a takeover of the Jewish state through basic multiplication?
I thought the guys on the bodybuilding boards were badly informed but since I started posting in these political threads I have never seen such stupidity and ignorance....WOW....I can truly say you are replacing 3333 as the dumbest guy on here after this post....When the Israelis settled in Palestine, THEY EXPELLED MANY OF THE PALESTINIANS WHO WERE THERE.....and many Palestinians who were not expelled LEFT DUE TO THE ONGOING GUERILLA WAR WHICH WAS TAKING PLACE AT THE TIME.....this left Israel with a MAJORITY JEWISH POPULATION....Israel has been able to maintain being a Jewish state due to vast immigration of Jews to Israel.....combined with a systematic expulsion of Palestinians.....
However....many Jews leave Israel due to the on-going tension and danger there....The Palestinian population is increasing and many Jews prefer to live in the U.S. and elsewhere...also the Palestinians have ONE OF THE HIGHEST BIRTH RATES IN THE WORLD and all statistics show the possibility of the Palestinians eventually overriding the Jewish population and therefore increasing their claims over Jewish territory.... and we aren't even including the Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza which increases the likelihood that this will occur...
and I never said it was a "brilliant plan" as you put it....its human reality......look at cities in the U.S, with large minority populations....eventuall
y the elected officials and policies represent the new majority..which is what I am saying could happen in Israel.....was it a "brilliant plan" by minorities to gain control of certain cities by having large numbers of offspring?..no....its just a natural consequence of it
not to mention, Israel imports Russian and American Jews into the country to try to maintain its numerical superiority..but these Jews then have more rights to the land than the Palestinians who have been there for decades...is that right???....thats like the U,S importing British citizens into the U.S and then bestowing on these new citizens more rights than you or me.....how would YOU feel if this were happening to you???..and guess who pays for all of this immigration to Israel???...the U.S.
I am pro-Israeli but that doesn't mean I have to shut my eyes to the wrongs which my friend is committing
so please refrain from telling someone to do their homework if you haven't done yours you creep
