@rjohnston very familiar to most Israelis … the demographic manipulation attempt started in the 1980s with PM Shamir … it didn’t end well for Israelis but incredibly well for the settlers and the right, since many of the ones that did stay are definitely not liberals. Their politicians are even worse.
There was an arrangement to prevent them from going straight to the US. I think the estimate in Israel was that a minimum of 30% are not Jewish at all. A friend of mine arrived in Israel because he married a Jewish girl, and that qualified him as well. Had he been a Palestinian, he wouldn’t have been allowed in.
If there’s such a thing as “birth right”, Palestinians are for sure the best qualified, not Russians.
