We see, in fact, that as the Israeli Arabs prosper with the benefits of democracy, their birthrate drops. Jews, on the other hand have more children. Not only that, but when there is the security of a real peace, Aliyah will increase.<br />So I don't believe the demographic threat. I also propose a 1 state solution west of the Jordan: Israel annexes all of the territories outright and grants all Arabs living in the territories resident alien status with a 5 year window to convert that to Israeli citizenship provided they pass a security check. No more PA, no more PA security force, only Israeli law. Any violent act will be treated as a criminal act and dealt with accordingly if the perpetrator is an Israeli citizen. Resident aliens will be deported on conviction. Finished. No more refugees, no more UNRWA, no more funding needed from the EU and USA. Let them scream about it. Now is the time to act. The US President is at his weakest, running for re-election. Syria, Jordan and Egypt are in no position to respond. Lebanon has already announced that if Israel attacks Iran it will NOT feel compelled to act, and the government spokesman made it clear he was speaking for Hezbollah as well. Israel is about to become gas and oil independent and maybe an exporter. With the possible exception of Iran, who will act or not in any case without regard to the political situation, who is in a position to act against annexation? Oh, yeah, I forgot. It is the Israelis themselves who are the problem. The left opposes such an action and the right is too terrified to implement. As usual, Israelis are their own worst enemy.<br /><br />Ben PincusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
