Detail - Table of Current Population Statistics

Goto Source for this Table - essay on Israeli discrimination, and the International Law Study Guide section on ethnic cleansing.

Below we have population statistics from both the CIA World Factbook and the United Nations Refugee Agency that shows that the Zionist organizations and Israeli government have been able to create a majority with their own population within Israel and the occupied territories, but the total Palestinian population including the refugee population residing in camps on the borders with neighboring countries still has the higher overall population, as well as the higher birthrates.

TOTAL POPULATION PER ETHNIC GROUPS FOR ISRAEL + OCCUPIED TERRITORIES
Palestinian Arabs - 4,650,047
Jews - 5,207,319

TOTAL POPULATION PER ETHNIC GROUPS FOR REGION (INCLUDING REFUGEES IN SURROUNDING COUNTRIES)
Palestinian Arabs - 5,296,942
Jews - 5,207,319

*The statistic on the CIA website for total population of the State of Israel is 6,352,117, but they state this includes 384,000 Israeli settlers who actually live in the occupied territories.

**It is probably not too far-fetched to assume that the Palestinian Arab population outside the occupied territories and Israel also have birthrates higher than the Jewish population.
