Here are some interesting facts and figures about the population of Israel:
The population of Jews around the world just topped 15 million. The population in Israel has topped 9 million for the first time. In 1948 when they proclaimed Israel as a nation there were only 806,000 people in Israel and the global population of Jews was only 11.5 million since so many had been slaughtered by the Nazis. In 1948 only 6% of the world’s Jews lived in Palestine (as the name was at the time — which, by the way, comes from the word “Philistine.”)

Out of Israel’s 9 million in population 74.2% are Jewish, 20.9% are Arabs and 343,000 are non-Arab Christians or members of other ethnic groups. 75% of the current Jewish population were born here in Israel.

It’s a terrifying fact that anti-semitism is on the rise and also becoming accepted. The movie “Denial” followed Prof. Dr. Deborah Lipstadt’s trial against Holocaust denier David Irving. He is being banned from conducting tours of Auchswitz for 5 years. We should all step back and listen to what’s happening around us.
