THE CHANGING PALESTINIAN DEMOGRAPHICS: According to The Ettinger Report, Palestinian Arab emigration is on the rise, quoting--among other things--Yedioth Achronot from April 8:
38% of Palestinians wish to emigrate, according to a February 2007 survey conducted by A-Najah University in Nablus and a survey conducted by Nabil Kukali’s research center in Beit Sakhur. A September 2006 study, by Bir Zeit University, indicated that 44% of the 20-30 age group, and 32% of the total Palestinian population, want to emigrate.
The fertility rate of both Jews and Arabs are changing--and moving in opposite directions.
