For decades, the most powerful argument against Israel’s future was demographic. The claim went like this: between the Israeli Arabs who are full citizens of the state and the Arabs of Judea and Samaria living under Israeli military administration, the Arab population in Israel was growing so fast that Jews would eventually become a minority in their own land…The bomb didn’t go off. It was a dud. According to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, the Jewish fertility rate currently stands at 3.09 births per woman, significantly higher than the Muslim fertility rate of 2.51.

Another fire that broke out near a church in Northamptonshire is a suspected arson attack.” Two English churches set on fire at night within 24 hours must be a coincidence. As it must be a coincidence that, during the same hours, a church in Germany was also set ablaze. But if you look, you discover that churches in the United Kingdom have faced 3,237 criminal attacks, vandalism and arson between 2022 and 2024 (an average of 8 per day). Even more, 3,700, are the number of the attacks against British Jews in a single year. And then a coincidence looks more like a clue.
