And in a matter of years, it will be a nuclear-armed state with an Arab majority. Just imagine the excitement! (I believe the land under Israeli control may already have an Arab majority, but of course the current apartheid system prevents residents of Gaza and the West Bank from voting in Israeli elections.) So what then? Further apartheid measures may maintain Jewish minority rule for a while, but that sort of thing can't be sustained indefinitely.
