assuming I don't end up studying, in fifty years time, 'Comparative Genocide, the victims become the killers, a comparison of the Holocaust and the Israel v Palestine slaughterhouse curpstomp-a-thon I'm almost certain you will. Which is truly frightening, since you'd think that a society virtually founded by direct-or-indirect Holocaust victims (at least that's what the history curriculum here says) would avoid treating other people the same way. Oh, wait, logic doesn't apply to human beings. *facepalms* Yay for robots...
It really depends on what you use to measure Jewishness, which is a great way of massaging statistics. Counting the population doesn't really make sense: shouldn't you add a multiplier that assigns more weight to people with more political influence? After all, they will decide what Israel does as a state. I don't suppose there's any chance of a moderate party forming government in the next elections?
(On a side note, I do wonder what would happen if someone teleported a whole lot of Totenkopf into 2010. With any luck they'd look at the history of Isreal and Palestine, go "Oh shit, we're acting like Israelis!" and immediately resign on their return home. Or not, but it's an interesting fanfic idea.)
