"And this doesn't even include the fast-growing Palestinian population of 3+ million. If it did,, Jews wouldn't have much of a majority, would they?"

That is a gross oversimplification of how populations grow and decline.

Just because the Muslim population's birth rate in Israel is currently outpacing the Jewish population's doesn't mean they will soon outnumber the Jewish population. They have (no surprise here) no immigrant population coming into Israel, so their birth/death rates would have to both outpace the Jewish rates, but outpace the Jewish immigration rates too. Not likely that will happen any time soon, I don't think.

You know, I don't think the rest of the world is required to establish their states and run them according to your view of what is best for them. Pretty arrogant view, IMO.
