Palestinians Will Outnumber Israeli Jews Next Year The number of Palestinians living in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza is projected to exceed the number of Jewish Israelis in 2016, according to a report from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. At present the population of Israel is around 8.2 million, including 6.13 million Jews. Israel is also home to 1.46 million Palestinians, while there are 4.62 million Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza. Israels population also includes migrant workers from various other countries, and the world population of Palestinians includes 5.34 million living in Arab countries. If current growth rates remain constant, Palestinians will number 6.42 million in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank next year, equaling and then surpassing the number of Jewish Israelis. In Israel, the fertility rate of the average Palestinian woman is 3.4 births compared with 3.1 births for Jewish women, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. The Bureau of Statistics projects that by the end of 2020, the number of Palestinians in those areas will total 7.14 million compared to 6.87 million Israeli Jews. But according to a recent map of the Middle East, there are no Israeli Jews — or Israeli Palestinians — because there is no Israel. Collins Bartholomew, a subsidiary of New York-based publishing house HarperCollins, omitted Israel from an atlas it sells to English-speaking schools in the Middle East. HarperCollins has apologized for the omission, saying in a statement that it regrets the omission of the name Israel from their Collins Middle East Atlas. This product has now been removed from sale in all territories and all remaining stock will be pulped. Collins Bartholomew had said that leaving Israel off its maps incorporated local preferences. https://youtube/watch?v=Vuem7Hi76Aw The time has come to galvanize mayorgalvan
