This absolutely blew me away. Is this common knowledge? I thought they were wayyy more densely populated. 20% of those are Arabs, by the way, so the Jewish population is less than 8 million. O_O

All 8 million of them. Maybe 7, I hear some are vehemently against their own government and what they are doing. Maybe more. Hopefully more.
