On Demographics
Each year an estimated 50,000 or more potential Jewish lives are aborted in Israel. The demographic threat is, by common consensus, the greatest danger to Israel today. Everything from the Gaza withdrawal to hare-brained schemes to convert en masse hundreds of thousands of non-Jewish immigrants is justified in terms of that threat. The demographic threat is both external — 2 million...
