Death of the Demographic Demon

Excerpts;

“Commentators spoke about the achievement of the Hamas, feature writers described the atmosphere of democratic celebration in the streets of Ramallah, but the most important headline was missed by everyone: one million, three hundred thousand. That is the number of eligible Palestinian Authority voters in Samaria, Judea, Gaza and Jerusalem. All together, including everyone – 1.3 million. ”

“In Israel, in contrast, the number of eligible voters is more than five million. In short, we’ve been fooled. We were presented a demographic demon that never existed. ‘Between the sea and the Jordan River,’ they menaced us, ‘there is already almost an equal number of Israelis and Palestinians. Soon, they will be the majority.’ The very same week of the PA elections, several prestigious speakers even repeated that mantra at the Herzliya Conference. ” read more

With Chanukah 5773 coming in literally on the heels of Shabbos Vayeishev, we recall again a short article which appeared on the INN website entitled;”Mortar Shells Filled With Chanukah Light” (url for article no longer accessable) which told about the Menorah which Neve Dekalim residents made from some of the spent Islamic mortal shells which were launched on their Gush Katif town over the years.

The point bears repeating. read more
