Must Read: Yoram Ettinger on the (False) Prophets of Demographic Doom in Israel

Ettinger simply tears the doom and gloom demographics crowd a new one. 

He's done it before, and I really enjoy his writing.

He uses, you know-those nasty FACTS to prove his point.

And the point is that the myth that Israel will cease to be a democracy if it doesn't agree to kill itself because of demographics is just a bunch of leftist, Jew-hating dogsqueeze.

Bookmark it for the next time some idiot starts blabbering about KEEPING ISRAEL'S DEMOGRAPHIC SOUL PURE or other such nonsense when really what they mean is "wow-I would totally love for the Palestinians to overwhelm Israel demographically, but if they can't, I'll just try to convince bleeding-heart Jews that this is what is going to happen".

"The demographic concept of doom was fended off by Israeli leaders until 1992. They initiated significant waves of Jewish immigration, in defiance of the demographic establishment, multiplied Israel's Jewish population tenfold since 1948, and dramatically expanded Jewish communities in greater Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria" 

Read the whole thing.
