The numbers which appear below in the Official Population Statistics of Judea and Samaria (Yesha), aka the West Bank, are not readily accessible to the general public. They come directly from the Population Registry of Israel's Interior Ministry and are painstakingly gathered and formulated by the office of Knesset Member Yaakov “Ketzaleh” Katz.
The growing number of Jews in Judea and Samaria is getting the attention of influential people. Despite headlines of world leaders planning a Palestinian State on Jew-free turf, a slow and quiet Jewish population explosion there has already rendered these designs wholly unrealistic.
As of June 30, 2012, there are over 350,000 Jews living in Judea and Samaria (not including the more than 300,000 in the eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem which are also technically the West Bank).
As per the stats below, the facts on the ground are conclusive: it's over; there will never be a Palestinian State in the middle of the Jewish Homeland in the area known as the West Bank.
It's only a matter of time before the facts begin to register with people of influence.
And so it is with former Meretz Party Leader Yossi Sarid who is a very intelligent, savvy analyst. He was the arch enemy of the movement to restore a Jewish presence in the ancient Hebrew towns of Judea and Samaria. ....
In a recent article entitled, "Tisha B'av: Maybe Next Time We'll Succeed" (Haaretz, July 27, 2012), Yossi Sarid basically throws in the towel. He writes:
Sarid: "Writing this time is especially difficult for me. I am accompanied by a gloomy but deep feeling that I am advancing towards an admission that I erred. And it's no small error. How did I not see the ramifications? ...

For the sake of comparison, how many Arabs like in Judea and Samaria?
Oops.

Mazal Tov! to those who worked and sacrificed for decades to rebuild the Jewish Homeland. Judea and Samaria were the heartland of ancient Israel, and the Philistines occupied the coastal areas. Now we Jews have safety, when even our worst enemy (always, always an internal one) concedes defeat. No more Auschwitz borders!
La Shana Tova!
The migration into Judea and Samaria is inexorable. It just needs to happen faster. This gives the Libs fits.
Well over a million - but except for a very few areas, the Israelis and Arabs live in separate areas. Note, however, that contrary to lots of propaganda, the Arab birthrate in this area is lower than the Jewish one - mainly because the Jews who settle in Judea and Samaria tend to be far more observant, and to thus have many children.

For a sweet year.
So the Arab areas of Judea and Samaria could be craved out of the present “West Bank” and given back to Jordan, and the remaining Cis-Jordanian lands would be overwhelmingly Jewish?
Do that, and hand Gaza back to Egypt, and there’s no need for a “Palestinian State.”
craved out = carved out
Don’t know what’s wrong with me today.
And only about 500 or 600 miles eastward after that to the real border.
