The Associated Press: PA census: Nearly 4 million Palestinians live in W. Bank, Gaza, E. J'lem

1)The Palestinian Authority has proven unreliable in everything it has done. Why should its figures be accepted when their interest is in inflating the Palestinian population?
2) There have been reports about considerable Arab emigration from Judea and Samaria ( West Bank). These do not seem reflected in the figures.
3) `Gaza` is no longer part of any equation any Israel should be interested in.
4) Whatever the numbers are the total unwillingness of the Palestinian Arabs to accept the state of Israel( whatever our borders)
is the central reality we have to deal with.
