Blacklisted Dictator finds some equivalence between the depopulation of the Jordan valley with the decline of the Jewish population in the UK.
The Jewish population of the UK has declined by 40% since 1950.This has been due to some extent by a low birth rate, but more significantly to increasing assimilation and propensity to marry out.
See " Is this the last generation of British Jews ? " The Daily Telegraph, May 9th 2011 ( thats today )
The Palestinian population of the jordan valley has declined from over 200,000 at the time of the Israeli occupation, to less than 60,000. ( I stand corrected )
This is obviously not due to a low birthrate, koff. And the marrying out rate is as close to zero as makes little difference.Rather it is a consequence of the policy of , and intimidation by, the occupier. You may or you may not , call this ethnic cleansing, but a rose is a rose by any other name.
"YOU might have thought the Jordan Valley was already empty enough. After almost half a century of Israeli occupation its Palestinian population has shrunk from over 200,000 to fewer than 60,000. But UN monitors say that Israel is intensifying its efforts to curb residency for Palestinians."
