Israeli Christian and Jewish birth rates both steadily increased during 2013, whereas Muslim fertility rates decreased dramatically, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics.

The new study, published on Sunday, just a day after the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday shows the Muslim growth rate is slowing down; having dropped from 3.8 percent in 2000, to just 2.4% in 2013.

The bureau's study shows the Muslim population growth is still higher than the growth rates of Christian and Jewish populations in Israel. During 2013, the Jewish birth rate was just 1.7% and the Christian was 1.6%.

Study study also noted when it comes to marriage, the average Muslim bride and groom tie the knot years before their Christian or Jewish Israeli peers. In 2012, the average Muslim bride and groom were only 21.9 and 26.4 years old, respectively. In comparison, the average Jewish bride and groom in Israel are 28.0 and 25.9, and the average Christian bride and groom are 25.4 and 29.9 respectively.

This data revealed that the majority of Israeli Muslims have children with 37.2% under the age of 14, and only 3.7% are aged 65 and older.

Once married, the average Muslim household is more crowded than a Jewish or Christian household in the same region. The average Muslim household consists of 5.0 persons, whereas the average Christian household contains 3.2 people, and the average Jewish home holds 3.1 people. Of the 272,000 Muslim families currently residing in Israel, more than two thirds are couples living with children.

Once married and settled, most Muslims reside either in northern Israel or the Jerusalem area. The cities with the highest concentrations of Muslims in the city are Rahat, Nazareth and Umm al-Fahm.

More than half the Israeli-Muslim population lives in the north, with the rest living in the greater Jerusalem Area (21.6%), central Israel (11.1%), the South (15.7%), and only 1.1% in Tel Aviv. The city with the greatest number of Muslim inhabitants is Jerusalem, with about 296,000 inhabitants living in the city, making up 36% of the city’s population.

I can't explain the slight dip in mudrat fertility, but the birth rate for others is consistent with post-war statistics. This doesn't make pisslam even remotely less of a demographic threat.

[Yerusha]

The Haredim studiously reproducing at 5-20 children per family.

Outside of Kashrus and Sofrus almost none of them are in gainful employment and from their ranks come almost no doctors, dentists, street cleaners, technicians, bus drivers, garbage collectors or even Torah scholars of any note. Few pay tax. Few even genuinely study Torah.

They are all tough, healthy and well-fed.

Their education is devoid of math, history, geography, science and English.

12 days out of 28 they have no relations with their wives.

When ordered by their Rebbes and Ravs they are disciplined and motivated.

They do not serve in the IDF. Indeed they are anti-IDF and even anti-Israel!

They are set to become the majority in Israel by 2030.

But worse: they are Anti-Kahanist!



What is the role of the Haredi in Hashem's Plan?

Good points Yerusha, when I  go through a Hareidi area near me, I think the exact same things  that you wrote.

2030 is not a long time away. How will Israel look when they are the majority?

When Hareidim are the majority, how will they chose to deal with the Arabs?
Who will go to the army?
Who will build the sewers? Do the plumbing and all the basic jobs that keep a society going?

I wonder if some of those Hareidim then might change and become more like present knitted Kippah Nationalist religious in outlook and jobs.

[Yehudayaakov]

Hareidim are the best we have to support them when time comes they will do their share they are counterweight of the current hilonim authority and who cares if they are not dentist lawyers gardeners...etc if the country is invaded by Arabs so go Hareidim today it's knitted Kippah Nationalist religious houses that are destroyed tomorrow it will be theirs and they know the government is against them.  It's the same kind of arguments said above that created  the Holocaust. More there are Hareidim more safer Israel is.

Pro-Kahanist R.David bar Chayim claims here that Haredism has reached a dead end



There is indeed a constant trickle of Haredi males who leave the Haredi World forever for the beaches of Tel Aviv, with not a few of them becoming gay.

[Israel Chai]

A few from every family become secular, and there is a welcome new trend that they become Dati Leui. I don't think they'll become the majority. At any rate, I have seen these Yeshivot where people are learning basic addition in grade six, and it's pathetic, disgusting, and a chilul Hashem, and no surprise that they don't produce many Torah scholars.

When there is a Sanhedrin, may it come soon, their exile mentality will no longer be tolerated.

Despite the misleading title and byline of the article, as it states, the Muslim birth-rate is still way higher than the Jewish birth-rate.
