That many paleos, Pat Buchanan NOT included, seem to go beyond desiring American non-involvement in the Middle East vis-a-vis Israel and Palestine, and actually shed crocodile tears for the 'poor, oppressed Palestinians' is ridiculous, and certainly does more harm than good. I can only speak for myself, but I have no quarrel whatsoever with the existence of Israel. Like Europe, though, if the people therein don't start having more babies, they're going to lose it...which is another topic altogether, I suppose.

Were that Europeans and white Americans to have the birthrate of Israeli Jews: 2.5 .
Of course the absolute stat for Israeli Jews does not tell the whole story. Non-religious Ashkenazis (Eastern Europeans) have the same problem as Europeans in general. Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews tend to have more than 3 kids. Religious Jews take the commandment to be fruitful quite literally with about 5. Unfortunately Arab women have 6.
Pat's thesis in the "Death of the West" is quite valid.
