Demography website has a note on Yemen, a "country" that is going to the dogs. Aslak, the owner of the site noted that many (maybe most) of the commenters are Israelis.

It is most interesting that we Israelis (I mean Israeli Jews) occupy such a large place in internet debates, specially on intellectual type of sites. It reminds me of the phony anecdote of the Himalaya sherpa asking an Israeli trekker: How many Israelis are? 5 million? It cannot be true. I personally know of 20 million that already climbed this mountain.

Randy (a very likeable, cultured Englishman) writes that he thinks that religious people in Israel is living a life separate from that to more secular Jews. But Israel is such a small and densely populated and intense and hot (33 Celsius this morning in Kever Benjamin) place that you cannot isolate yourself. You see each other, you smell each other, you cannot but hear them, you have them in your soup looking at you. Enjoy.
