While Israel's population is gonna face a hard time (that's why they are importing a huge numberforeign labourers) and the growing Orthodox population is refusing to work and give up its benefits, this just a glimpse of the future.

@shadowsift Religious reasons. Since they also have many children, they're expected to even reach 20% of the population. With the fast aging population and 20% of people who don't work or even go fulfil the military duty. This alone is a huge reason for Israel to start thinking about the longterm decisions. Arab populations on the contrary are only growing.

@willc1294 The Israeli army needs a massive influx of conscripts to sustain the occupation. If they want to go that sort of governance (which I doubt, Israel is another kind of economy), they'll eventually need to recognize Palestine. I don't think it will go that far (that they will be a theocracy) but it is certainly the beginning of the end of the status quo with a dominant Israel. Unless the elections change massively, the Orthodox people vote for progressive parties too(they're already a big voting bloc, who kept Netanyahu in office)...But that chance is 0.

@cameljammer6699 That's just a blatant lie or you used a wrong source. "The Central Bureau of Statistics estimates the ultra-Orthodox grew from 10 percent of Israel's population in 2009 to 13 percent last year. By 2042, they will account for nearly 21 percent, and by 2062 almost a third." (Source:the foreign policy). What's your source ?

@austinsmith8584 The IDF even has Bedouin Arabs...Which Arabs are refusing duty?

@austinsmith8584 I know, but I mentionned it because even fellow Arab nations have trouble keeping the bédouins under control, while the IDF (miraculously) manages to enroll more and more each year. I presume you're talking about Muslim Arabs or do Jewish Arabs also neglect the duty?

Wow after blockading the region for eternity, getting the top tech and having air superiority, you're so strong! @DavidKosMusic

@valeryivanishin483 Thanks! Interesting you made a distinction between farmers, so are Arabs living in cities generally more pro-Israel?

@austinsmith8584 Thanks for answering the questions!

@nourrashid8739 Egypt even allowed Israel to bomb the Sinaï Peninsula and just executed 3 Brotherhood officials. They aren't refusing to help against H*mas. He's right, no Arab nation can fight against Israel. And Saudi Arabia doesn't have a domestic military industry. Turkey did indeed just launch its Kaan fighter jet and their Bayraktars are gold, but they won't ruin their reputation and relations for the Palestinians...They were even buddying up with Israel. And their economy can't handle an all-our war. Egypt is on the brink of a collapse, their valuta just dropped with 30% lmfao. I've been to Egypt, as a fellow Arab, it's a huge joke. Iran is indeed a threat, but it's acting out of self-interest and despite the threats...they have shown they're willing to drop Palestina any time as a bargaining chip. Saudi Arabia recently paid a soccer player more than it gave aid to Palestina. There are no Muslim/Arab nations that are helping, stop dreaming.
