Israel:The Massive Gerrymander.
Israel Population
Jews...........6.100 mil
Arabs..........1.689 mil (can vote in Israeli elections)
Others.........0.350 mil
Total............8.149 mil
Palestinians:
West Bank & Gaza...4.55 mil (cannot vote in Israeli Elections)
If Palestinians were allowed to vote in Israel then the population mix would be:
Jews..............6.1 million
Arabs............ 6.239 million *
While Israel spruiks its status as the Middle East's only democracy, this "democracy"
is based on a massive gerrymander as shown above. Rather than Palestinians seeking Country
status for the Palestinian Territories, they should be simply insisting on their democratic right
to vote in Israeli elections thereby highlighting the Israeli Apartheid regime.

*these numbers do not include Palistinians in adjacent countries of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan & Egypt.
(stats source wikipedia)
Palestinians in other middle east Countries;
Jordan,,,,,,,,,,,,3.240 mill
Syria...............0.630 mil
Lebannon.......0.403
Saudi Arabia..0.280
Egypt.............0.270
Qatar.............0.100
Kuwait...........0.080
Iraq................0.057
Yemen...........0.055
Total..............5.115 mil
Add this to the 6.239 mil Palestinians in the Palestinian Territories & Israel
and we get:
Total Palestinian Population in the Middle east: 11.534
(source wikipedia)
If all these Palestinians moved back to the Palestinian Territories
and insisted on their right to vote in Israeli elections , then Israel
would have a massive electoral headache !
It is interesting to note that while these Palestinians' ancestors were being forced out of Israel,
Jews from all over the world were replacing them to provide the emerging Israeli State
with a majority Jewish population.
