PBS – no not that one – has released “statistics” suggesting the palestinian population will exceed the Jewish one in Israel by 2020.
Figures released by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics on Thursday suggested that Palestinians will outnumber Israeli Jews in historic Palestine by 2020.
The results of the Palestinian census were released as 2015 came to a close in the center’s annual analysis of demographics in the area.
The census estimated that by the end of 2015, the total number of Palestinians in “historical Palestine” — meaning the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and Israel — was around 6.22 million, compared to 6.32 million Jews.
The number of Palestinians and Jews in historical Palestine is expected to be equal before the end of 2017, and the number of Palestinians will total 7.13 million compared to 6.96 million Jews by the end of 2020, according to the PCBS census.
Clearly, they are counting Israeli Arabs in their number, many of whom would be mortified to be considered “palestinian”, and would not like to live under their rule.
In any event, you can’t have it both ways – claiming on one hand we are ethnic cleansing you, and on the other, your population is growing so fast, you will soon outnumber us. This is not a Choose Your Own Adventure*, in which you get to choose mutually exclusive things to reach the ending of your choice.
