Interesting points, there is also going to be changes in Israel when they become a majority Arab.
And that's the problem. Israel will become just another anti-Semitic Muslim-majority country, and Israel will cease to exist.
Here's the map again. Israel is a tiny sliver of a country, surrounded by hostile countries (except Egypt and Jordan) who want nothing other than to wipe it off the map.
Also, why is it that we currently have two parallel threads criticizing Israel, with some posts showing blatant hostility toward Jews in general, and we never have threads criticizing any of the horrible Muslim countries for their human rights abuses?

Israel proper is not close to becoming majority Arab, rather the state is not prepared to allow the "return" of Palestinians who once lived within its borders. Current demographics for Israel (wiki):
Population - approximately 8,855,000 inhabitants as of the first half of 2018. 74.5% are Jews of all backgrounds (about 6,556,000 individuals), 20.9% are Arab of any religion other than Jewish (about 1,837,000 individuals), while the remaining 4.6% (about 400,000 individuals) are defined as "others." Over the past decade, the Muslim annual population growth has fallen significantly, from around 3% to less than 2.2% while the overall Jewish growth rate rose from around 1.4% to 1.7%, primarily due to the expanding Orthodox Jewish sector.
Gaza is almost entirely Palestinian Arab. "The Gaza Strip now has one of the highest population densities in the world: Almost 1.5 million people live within its 146 square miles. Eighty percent of Gazans live below the poverty line." Some history and background on the Gaza Strip.
There are about 5 million Palestinians (those who resided "Palestine" before 1948, and their descendants) eligible for UN status as a refugee; about 1.5 million are still in camps. Many live in Jordan.
But Gaza pretty much is an open-air prison and will operate like one, with continued radicalization and violence. There's no freedom of movement, with travel even to the West Bank restricted. More, incidents like the border raid and the Israeli response play one way in the US and another way in the Arab world with the "plight" of the Palestinians a flash point.
Again, that there will be any resolution is highly doubtful - but Kushner can give it his all!

Doubtful. But, it may become a country with more problems which would be in line with Lebanon.
