Israel population nears 7.6 million

Besides all the snarkiness, the overall news in the article is positive:
Of the 7,587,000 population, 5,726,000, or 75.5 percent, are Jews and 1,548,000, or 20.4 percent, are Arabs, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics.

The population has grown by 137,000 people in the past year, a 1.8 percent increase.
So much for all the doomsayers who have warned us for decades that the Arabs will one day outnumber us.
