The infamous 'demographic time bomb'. A word on this- it has proven to largely be a fallacy. In fact, birth rates in the modern era for Israeli Jews and Palestinians are much the same. And then you've got Jewish immigration.
There is however a 'demographic time bomb' of a very different nature, which comes down to who is doing the breeding. Secular, if you like 'modern' Jews, among which demographic you can count most of the educated and wealthy, do not breed very much- they are being rampantly outbred by their fundamentalist counterparts, especially ultra-religious Jews. So you have a generation emerging increasingly skewed towards those who will not serve in the Army on religious grounds, and very often do not want to work. Rather, they feel it their duty to breed, and study their scripture- and are quite happy to live off the resources of the state.
Some think it poses a greater threat to 'Israel'- however you wish to define it- than the Palestinians.
