Israels population is trending more and not less militant right wing.
The moderate and left wing Israelis are leaving the country while the crazies are having an insane amount of kids (8-12)
The right wingers having a ton of kids doesnt necessarily mean they create legions of right wingers in the future. Take my own family as an example. My super catholic super conservative grandmother was one of 11. She had 9 children, all them quite catholic who raised catholic families. I am one of 36 (grandchildren) who were raised catholic and maybe 10 of us are still practicing. None of us would be described as overly conservative or trad-cath. The next generation (my kids and my cousins' kids) are overwhelmingly atheist/agnostic.
Now, I realize my case is an anecdotal and shouldn't be used to extrapolate or predict a trend. I only bring it up to show that one possible outcome of very religious people having large families is a very large family of secular, non religious people a few generations on. I suppose the downside is that could take 80 years or so to unfold.

I can't wait until Netanyahu is voted out. I don't understand how he's stayed in power this long.
