A funny thought about Israel

[skull_bearer]

So Israel is grabbing up land with illegal settlements right, and as they do so it brings more and more Palestinian people into Israel. The more of them go into Israel, the less and less Jewish Israel is. How long will it be until the Jewish state isn't that Jewish any more?

Hence
the high birthrate
the attempt to bring in the Diaspora.

One of the unpleasant little ironies is Obama arguing that it isn't the UN"s business. When it was the UN recognition of Israel (and ignoring of the people who lived there) that helped create this whole sorry mess.

I predict Israel will start resorting to genocide long before that happens and that the masses in the West will be as apathetic to that as we were about the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

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.)
