ISRAELIS MUST FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE FROM OLMERT (RESIGNED BUT NOT OUT OF POWER!!!) Dr. Aaron Lerner

When Israelis supporting withdrawal came to the conclusion that it was no
longer possible to market withdrawal by promising that it would somehow
either bring peace or improve Israel's security, they turned to the
"demographic threat" to justify withdrawal.
While the underlying statistical validity of the "demographic threat" has
been challenged by projections, it remains, for all intents and purposes,
the last argument that withdrawal supporters can offer to nonbelievers
(those who don't share the secular messianic view that withdrawing to the
'67 lines would somehow herald an era of utopian peace).
It is thus interesting to find that despite the Herculean efforts of
withdrawal proponents and the withdrawal supporting media to push the
demographic threat argument, only 7% of Israeli Jews consider the
demographic issue the greatest threat facing Israel.

Is Israel headed in the right or wrong direction?
