Birth numbers for August 2021 are out
[edit]16.600 births overall, looks like Covid triggered a massive baby boom in Israel, nearly 10 percent increase in total number of births compared with the same month in the previous year, here August 2020.
Also, the increase is much large within the jewish community than among other religious groups.

Where's the updated figures for 2023? They get updated every Rosh HaShanah (new year). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:6E00:2440:6336:399B:DA39:F8A5:6168 (talk) 06:29, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Average population
[edit]In the vital statistics table, the end-year populations have been included an not the average population. I will correct that when I have time, 2018-2020 numbers are correct. https://www.cbs.gov.il/en/Statistics/Pages/Generators/Time-Series-DataBank.aspx Givibidou (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:53, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Australian to Israel Immigration rate doesn't match
[edit]The "Net migration rate" section has 143 Australians for 2019 (January to October), but the table "migration/Aliyah" shows zero. Wakelamp d[@-@]b (talk) 08:45, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
Is the Density Section mislabeled?
[edit]The Density section refers to demographic deployment, but there is a chart marked Density which uses different numbers. The term Deployment does not seem to appear in demographic or geographic glossaries except as a description of military movements 08:59, 25 April 2022 (UTC) Wakelamp d[@-@]b (talk) 08:59, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Could someone please remove the redundant map and/or picture of road signs in this section. It makes WP:SANDWICH with the text and messes up the following section on religion. Before A455bcd9's changes, the section on languages didn't have that map, which is already repeated in other articles when appropriate, it's not representative of the general (non-Arabic speaking) Israeli population and there is a better map in a different section with the distribution of the Arab population in the country anyway.--Noha Erssam (talk) 16:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

I have a fresh-made ethno-cultural map of Israel. Can I or you on my behalf input it into the article body AFTER the line
(the two map have slightly different conceptual approach to the Israel ethnicity representation.)?
Yours. Sergei Kondrashov Sergey Kondrashov (talk) 07:33, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Sergey Kondrashov: could you please add links to the sources used? Also you wrote "Classification, I used for building this map does not follow any Israeli classification": wouldn't this be WP:OR? How did you define the threshold for a city to be "mixed"? (there's always at least 1 minority in each city). Lastly: I'm color blind and the map is impossible to read...

- The threshold for classifying the population of a statistical district as "mixed" on my map is when the second largest population group is at least half the size of the first one. Say, 60% and 35%. Sergey Kondrashov (talk) 08:16, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @Sergey Kondrashov: please add the sources in File:Israel- geographical distribution of the main ethno-cultural communities.jpg. Regarding your definition of "mixed", it looks like WP:OR to me: CBS doesn't use this definition. As far as I remember, the usual definition in Israeli stats use a threshold of 2% of Arab population?

status aparte
[edit]Would anyone be able to add more on the term/status "status aparte" to clear up some inconsistencies? It appears once in the article, in "The Circassians in Israel enjoy, like Druzes, a status aparte". The term is however not used in the Druze subsection, although it is in the Demographics of Israel template along with a mention of it applying to Arameans, and Circassians are not given a mention in the template. A quick search online was sadly unproductive. CMD (talk) 08:52, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Correct two addition errors on the table DEMOGRAPHICS OF ISRAELI AND PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES
1. TOTAL AREA OF THE REGION OF PALESTINE OUTSIDE THE GREEN LINE should be the sum of the two preceding rows: 5880 + 365 = 6245
2. TOTAL ISRAEL + PALESTINE COMBINED AREA should be TOTAL WEST BANK + GAZA STRIP + GREEN LINE + GOLAN HEIGHTS which is 5880 + 365 + 20582 + 1154 = 27981 104.230.112.3 (talk) 13:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Jewish is NOT an ethnicity. To be Jewish is a religion. Please change the ethnicity of “Jewish” to an actual geographical country. 2001:56A:79AD:CD00:682F:9E2D:EA6:F65E (talk) 00:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: While I would agree to change the article if it asserted that Jews were another race (which is obviously false), ethnicity does not equal race. Ethnicity is "
a group of people who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups
." Jews are an ethno-religious group. Again, I want to stress that this just means they are a distinct group, and this has nothing to do with genetic background. – Sincerely, Professor Penguino (talk) 03:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC) - Jews see themselves as a nation, not a religion, with a common history and ancestry. That's how they see themselves, which is what is relevant here. A Jew converting to another religion is still considered a Jew as well as atheist Jews. 2A02:ED0:4230:E400:6851:764E:DFF5:19D3 (talk) 17:29, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
A question to the translation
[edit]...and including Druze, Circassians, all other Muslims, Christian Arabs, Armenians (which Israel considers "Arab")
In hebrew version of this topic all Armenians, Circassians are included in "others" percentage and not in Muslim/Arab percentge. here is a quote: וכ-5.7% (כ-534 אלף), מוגדרים "אחרים" מהם 300,000 יהודים על פי חוק השבות הרשומים במשרד הפנים כחסרי סיווג דת והשאר הם נוצרים לא-ערבים – כולל בני משפחות של יהודים שלא התגיירו, ארמנים, כמרים ונזירים מלאומים שונים, כמו כן קהילה מוסלמית של צ'רקסים, קהילת העבריים השחורים, פליטים וייטנאמים לשעבר, ובני דתות ולאומים אחרים. So, there might be a translation mistake, perhaps? 2003:E3:B714:7C00:6527:F24A:A421:7564 (talk) 14:47, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
