A demographic warning

According to the Jerusalem Post, a University of Haifa report has found that the ultra-Orthodox, many of whom do not work or contribute to Israeli society -- in fact, they act as a state within a state -- will pass one million by 2030. The report also warns that if current demographic trends continue, Israel may cease to exist.
The report, compiled by Professor Arnon Soffer, the Reuven Chaikin Chair in Geo-strategy at the University of Haifa, also finds that by 2030, the ultra-Orthodox population will reach more than a million people, a population increase that will place an especially high economic burden on the secular population.
"As long as the Haredi percentage of the population increases, the economic gaps between the Haredi population and the remainder of the population will continue to grow, requiring a greater transfer of funds [from the secular population] to support them. Their differential participation in the workforce not only creates a situation of total dependence on the income earning population, but also inequalities that only continue to grow as well as higher dissatisfaction, bitterness and feelings of suffocation among taxpayers."
But if this was not bad enough, the true existential threat to Israel, however, is that this demographic shift will lead to a greater and greater emigration of secular Israelis from the country, further degrading the quality of life in the country.
"If [Israeli] decision-makers don’t come to their senses, the Zionist vision will come to a tragic end and the people of Israel will again find itself in the Diaspora facing anti-Semitism and assimilation."
More evidence that Israel hasn't thought this through: there are now more non-Jews between the River and the Sea, but Israel insists that it will continue with the toxic settlement enterprise instead of ensuring it can continue to exist as a democratic and Jewish state.
