Some neo-Nazi research from Dennis Ross (Israeli supporters were touting him as an unbiased observer):
<<< The Jerusalem-based Institute for Jewish
People Policy Planning recently completed a
study on Jewish demographics. As part of the
quasi-governmental Jewish Agency, it received
government funding. The institute is chaired by
former Mideast peace negotiator and full-time
Israeli propagandist Dennis Ross . It declared
that by 2020, Palestinians in the West Bank,
Gaza, East Jerusalem and Israel proper will
outnumber Jews. This was not run-of-the-mill
detached study, but was announced with some
alarm--in that circled-wagon kind of way.
According to the survey, the number of Jews in
the world is declining. As a result, the institute
"convened an emergency session" to address
what it called the "'demographic crisis,'"
Ha'aretz reported. In the same article, the
chairman of the Jewish Agency, Sallai Meridor,
stated that the "demographic threat" from
Palestinians inside Israel and the occupied
territories "'must certainly influence our borders
policy.'"
This is about as clear a reduction of the conflict
as possible. To Israeli officials, a decrease in
the Jewish population is deemed a
"demographic crisis," whereas when more
Palestinians are born, even those with
citizenship, it is a "demographic threat." Can
anyone really deny that Israel's interest is to
maintain ethno-religious purity? Doesn't that
blatantly contradict its democratic posturing? >>>
