All The News Anti-Israel Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss 2

• The number of Israeli Jewish births in 2021 (141,250) was 76% higher than 1995 (80,400), while the number of Israeli Arab births in 2020 (43,806) was 20% higher than 1995 (36,500), as reported by the March 2022 Monthly Bulletin of Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (ICBS).

• In 2021, Jewish births were 76% of total births, compared to 69% in 1995.

• The fertility rate (number of births per woman) of Israeli secular Jewish women has trended upward during the last 25 years, while ultra-Orthodox women have experienced a slight decline.

• Israeli Jewish women — who are second only to Iceland in joining the job market — are unique in experiencing a rise of fertility rate together with expanded urbanization, education, standard of living, integration into the job market and a rising marriage age. These phenomena have lowered the fertility rate in all other countries.

• In 1969, Israel’s Arab fertility rate was six births higher than the Jewish fertility rate. In 2015, both fertility rates were at 3.13 births per woman, reflecting the dramatic Westernization of Arab demography, triggered by the enhanced social status of women, higher marriage age, expanded participation of women in the job market and shorter reproductive window. In 2020, the Jewish fertility rate was three (and 3.27 with an Israeli-born Jewish father), while the overall Arab fertility rate was 2.82 and the Muslim fertility rate was 2.99. The average OECD fertility rate is 1.61 births per woman.

• The unique growth in Israel’s Jewish fertility rate is attributed to optimism, patriotism, attachment to Jewish roots, communal solidarity, the positive Jewish attitude toward raising children, a frontier mentality and a declining number of abortions.

• In 2021, there were 43,879 Israeli Jewish deaths, compared to 31,575 in 1996, a 39% increase. In the same year there were 6,751 Arab deaths, compared to 3,089 in 1996, a 119% increase. Israel’s Arab life expectancy (78 per men and 82 per women) is similar to the U.S. life expectancy and higher than that of any Arab/Muslim country.

• In 2021, the number of Israeli Jewish deaths was 31% of Israeli Jewish births, compared to 40% in 1995 — a symptom of a society growing younger. In 2021, the number of Israeli Arab deaths was 15% of Arab births, compared to 8% in 1995 — a symptom of a society growing older.

• Since 1995, the demographic trend has expanded the younger segment of Israel’s Jewish population, which provides a solid foundation for an expanded Jewish majority in the next generation.

• The positive Jewish demographic trend is further bolstered by Israel’s net immigration, which consists of an annual aliyah reinforced by shrinking emigration: from 14,200 net emigration in 1990 to 6,000-7,000 net emigration in recent years.

• Moreover, at least 500,000 Jewish immigrants could immigrate to Israel in the next five years — awaiting the Israeli government to leverage this potential — when considering the Jewish communities in the Ukraine, other former Soviet Republics, France, Britain, Germany, Argentina, as well as the United States, Canada and Australia.

The Israel Defense Forces have quietly begun to cooperate with the militaries of moderate Arab states to a significant extent in recent months, Israel’s Channel 13 reported on Tuesday.

The military collaboration comes amid a confluence of interests between Israel and Arab states to contain and stage counterattacks against Iran.

Palestinian terror groups do not discriminate between soldiers, civilians, men, women, children or babies, with Gaza-based Hamas referring to all citizens of the Jewish state as “Zionist soldiers,” all the while encouraging their members to carry out unprovoked attacks on Israelis.

By contrast, Ukrainians are taking up arms to fight off a military invasion that — according to most members of the United Nations Security Council and the General Assembly — violates Article 2(4) of the UN Charter that requires member states to refrain from the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.”

Notably, Ukraine did not commit or threaten to commit an armed attack against Russia or any other UN member state prior to Moscow’s military action. Furthermore, there have been no recorded instances of Ukrainians attacking Russian civilians.

Unreported by BBC: PA Corruption and Mismanagement​

Knell goes on to state that the European Union has also “blocked millions of euros” in aid to the PA amid concerns about textbooks being used in schools that glorify violence and antisemitism. Knell neglects to mention that even despite such concerns, the EU still hands over tens of millions of euros a year in “humanitarian assistance to Palestine.”

Furthermore, in an article replete with finger-pointing about responsibility for the aforementioned funding problems, the only party that seemingly gets let off the proverbial hook is the one that actually shoulders most of the blame: the PA.

The PA has been dogged by allegations of corruption for years, including embezzling aid money that comes from the EU and mismanaging funds that are doled out by the bloc’s member states.

BBC Deletes Hamas From Gaza Strip​

Later in the piece, Knell touches upon the situation in the Gaza Strip, using the case of a leukemia-stricken teenager from the coastal enclave, Salem al-Nawati, who reportedly collapsed and died at the PA Health Ministry in Ramallah:

Gaza hospitals are ill-equipped to treat many serious cancer cases and without East Jerusalem as an option, [Jamal al-Nawati’s] nephew was given a medical referral and PA financial guarantee to be treated in a private hospital in Nablus.
Israel – which controls access for Gazans to the West Bank – initially refused Salem a travel permit, his family says for security reasons, delaying his exit by a month. By the time he made it to Nablus, the hospital turned him away because its bills had gone unpaid by the PA.

The latest poll from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) shows that while Hamas' popularity is decreasing, that isn't indicating any less support for violence.

Fatah's popularity reached the levels it had before the May war, which was very popular among Palestinians. Surprisingly, part of that may be because the people are approving of the "confidence building measures" that Israel has agreed to with the Palestinian Authority, like increasing family unification and allowing the PA to access more cash. 63% approved of those measures.

Even so, 67% support the suspension of the PLO recognition of Israel and 61% support the decision to end the implementation of agreements with Israel including security coordination.

When asked what strategy they support going forward, 52% supported return to armed confrontations and a violent intifada. When asked specifically what the most effective means of ending the "occupation" and building an independent state, a plurality of 44% chose "armed struggle, "far ahead of 25% for negotiations and 24% for "popular resistance." This is a small increase supporting violence compared to the last poll three months ago.

The perpetrator of Tuesday’s terror attack in Bnei Brak, Dia Hamarsha, had been working illegally at a construction site in the city.


An eyewitness told Channel 7 News that a nearby building housed dozens of illegal construction workers, and Hamarsha could very well have chosen that spot for the attack simply because he worked there. Residents in the area constantly complained about the illegal workers, but the police did not take action, the eyewitness said.


In 2020, 80,000-90,000 Palestinians officially worked in Israel, and 30,000-40,000 in Israeli settlements. The International Labor Organization estimated that around 26,000 Palestinians worked illegally in Israel and the settlements.

When news of a terror attack began to circulate on social media, a number of Palestinian Arabic-language media and social media accounts began to celebrate.


The reports claimed that “settlers” were killed. This might be confusing for some who read Western media and think “settlers” refers to Israelis living in the West Bank. In Palestinian populist media and among social media users, it almost always refers to everyone who lives in Israel.


The term “settlers” in this context goes beyond referencing Jewish Israelis or Jews in general. It also refers to foreigners who live in Israel or tourists.

In the case of the Bnei Brak terror attack on Tuesday, two Ukrainian victims living in Israel were also labeled as “settlers.” And if anyone needs to understand the depths to which the populist, nationalist, pro-terror, far-right Palestinian narrative has sunk over the decades, one need only witness how the murder of anyone in Israel is acceptable, be they Jewish, Arab or Ukrainian.


The murders are celebrated in most parts of the West Bank and Gaza and among their supporters abroad, and the celebrants do not discriminate: they honor the killing of everyone.
