Natalitet će uništiti Izrael? A ne Iran, Hezbolah, iss ili već! Bebe će uništiti Izrael! That may be an overly rosy prediction -- other demographers have pegged the majority-Palestinian year at 2035 or even 2048 -- but the disparity between the number of Jewish and Palestinian births is interesting because it has been among Israel's main arguments against a one-state solution. If Palestinian population growth continues to outpace that of Israeli Jews, the thinking goes, Israel would no longer be a Jewish state, a problem some Jewish commentators have called a "demographic timebomb." Of course, those are just projections, and a number of societal changes could keep Israel's demographics just as they are. The Palestinian birth rate is currently 4.4, compared with 3.0 for Jews, but it's possible the Palestinian rate could decrease as the country develops and modernizes.
