A poll conducted last week for Haaretz by the Dialog Company provided the publication with a statistical nightmare.
Despite skewing the main question in an attempt to produce results which demonstrate that Israelis think that pulling out of Jewish cities and towns in Yehuda and Shomron would lead to peace, the results proved otherwise, throwing Haaretz into a frenzy of censorship.
The February 2nd poll of 491 Israelis, including Israeli Arabs, asked the clumsy question: “May our continued presence in the territories lead to a bi-national state?” (A bi-national state meaning a state of all of her citizens – with at least roughly 50% Arab population – devoid of all Jewish identity.)
The result, “Yes – 28%, No – 53%”, was not reported in the English-language version of Haaretz at all. In the Hebrew version of Haaretz the poll result, so counter to the mantra of the Left, was presented in tables but not discussed at all in the text.
Apparently the editors of Haaretz do not want English-speaking readers to find out that, despite extensive leftist brainwashing by the media, Israelis do not buy into the demographic demon. They understand that continued Israeli presence in Judea and Samaria will not tip the demographic scales in favor of the Arabs and will not turn Israel into a bi-national state with an Arab majority.
The effort by Haaretz to hide this result from Hebrew readers and completely erase it from the information available to English readers lays bare the agenda of its editors to frighten the Jewish people into throwing away their Divinely-given inheritance of the Land of Israel.
The main reason given by Ariel Sharon for expelling 10,000 Jews from Gaza five years ago was this same “demographic threat”. As Haaretz would like to see a repeat of this expulsion of Jews take place in Yehuda and Shomron, they need to keep the demographic bogeyman in the forefront of everyone’s minds.
The more that Israelis understand that there is no demographic threat, the more they will oppose the “two-state solution”, which they already reflexively understand will only lead to disaster.
In response to the alarming media manipulation, Manhigut Yehudit, the Jewish Leadership faction of the Likud, encourages the public to familiarize themselves with the work of Ambassador Yoram Ettinger and others who have thoroughly debunked the alleged demographic threat to the Jewish State.

It is time that Haaretz was revealed for what it has always been; a yellow rag sheet for the political left in Israel.
Why isnt’ this being reported widely?
If the poll questions were skewed, what about Mr. Spira’s report? It is an opinion piece more than news.
Bubby, we both disagree with Ha’artez’s editorial stance. But, in all due respect, their writing is usually intelligent and far above the average newpaper’s intellectual level.
Please explain.
Does the writer of this article believe projections from current birth rates are wrong?
I thought it was pretty simple that the charedim and the Moslems are going to be the big numbers in Israel in another few generations.
At least the Moslems support Hashem’s laws of modesty, and are firmly opposed to toeavos!
“At least the Moslems support Hashem’s laws of modesty, and are firmly opposed to toeavos!” Avreich Man, you appall me! How dare you elevate one mitzvah above another! What about ahavas yisroel? Chazal say the beis hamikdosh was destroyed because of sinas chinam – not tznius! Chilonim are still our brothers, even if you don’t approve of them, and family comes first. Especially before our enemies!
