Given the respective birth rates of the Arabs and the Jews, isn't this inevitable?

The jury's out on that one. The Arabs have the birthrate, the Jews have the military, technical and economic advantage. If the Arabs want to dissolve Israel, they had better switch to a system of peaceful assimilation, because terrorism is only going to hurt their cause. If the Palestinians manage to convince the Israelis that they are all lunatics, the guys arguing for transfer (=expulsion) are going to have an easier case to make.

CB - The US is very likely going to be a Latin American country inside of 50 years, some of my friends think much sooner.

However, I don't hear Latinos talking single mindedly about the destruction of the US and elimination of whites living here. Whatever the demographics going forward, I suspect the Constitution is strong enough that it will likely hold.

It's become fashionable to talk up this latest "elimination of Israel" demographic angle, but people who want Jews off the planet never run out of arguments where that's concerned. A lot can and will happen in 20 years, and the demographic angle is one of the lesser risks at the present time.
