Israel Matzav: Better tell them to stop having those 'obstacles to peace'

Better tell them to stop having those 'obstacles to peace'

The population growth rate for Judea and Samaria was more than double that of the rest of the country according to statistics released on Tuesday by the Civil Administration.

The number of Jews in Judea and Samaria has grown to 313,000 – double the growth rate of the rest of Israel – according to the latest Civil Administration report.

The Civil Administration report, as quoted by Haaretz, shows that the population in Judea and Samaria grew in the past half-year by 2.75%, and by 5.1% in the past year, and now stands at 312,940. A large part of the growth is due to the hareidi-religious cities of Beitar Illit (6.3%) and Modiin Illit (9,8%) - but even without those cities, Yesha’s growth rate of 3.8% more than doubles that of the rest of Israel, which stands at 1.7%.

Two-thirds of the towns in Yesha grew at a higher rate than the rest of Israel (see below).

And unless they're going to turn Judea and Samaria into China, there's not a whole lot the government can do to stop that growth rate. You see, most of the growth there is 'natural growth.'

The government cannot stop the revenants from having more 'obstacles to peace.'

Heh.
