If true, this would mean that long-term U.S. involvement to the State of Israel is a a losing bet for both sides.

Maybe this would be a good time for Israel to reconsider its cheerful acceptance of abortion.

Not really, this demographic analysis includes the West Bank & Gaza in the total numbers. I would guess this is an Orthodox media source, though I could be mistaken. Anyhow, according to the figures here, the Jewish population of Israel proper would still outnumber the Arab population by 6.6 million to 2.1 million in in 2020. I think it's safe to guess that the West Bank & Gaza will be independent (or nearly so) within the next two decades. Even if not, all this means is that the Palestinian areas will get a whole lot more crowded (and poorer too)...

[Cicero]

Secular Jews have accepted the abortion right lock, stock, and barrel and have taken a leadership role in the family planning movement.

It has long been evident that the same liberal Jews who commit political suicide by voting for the likes of Hillary after watching her kiss Sufa Arafat and take campaign funds from Palestinian terrorists are hot to commit demographic suicide.

But religious Jews are a different matter. The Bible teaches that children are a blessing, and they believe it.

God knows what will come of this, but He watched over the Jews for two thousand years after the destruction of the Temple, and they are still here.

Numerous times the Bible shows us the idea of a saving remnant. The majority defect, but the remaining minority prevail. See the story of Gideon. To take the largest instance, ten tribes of Israel disappeared, but the two remaining continued the lineage and the Covenant. I am confident that somehow or other the Jews will continue to survive backsliding and disasters.

God warned them against child sacrifice!

God told Israel - be fruitful and multiply. His Holy Book has their answer.

I think this story is a bit overblown. There was a story in the Wall Street Journal addressing this issue, a few months ago, and it went into detail about how the high Arab birth rate, even within Israel, was not nearly as threatening to Israel's existence as some believe. Also, don't forget, Israel's Jews are already surrounded by about 100 million muslims on all sides.

Perhaps. I would be interested in reading the WSJ article.
