Abstract

Some scholars argue that Israel is overpopulated and call for revising Israel’s “Law of Return” and reducing density within ecological limits. This article argues that ideological, practical, strategic, and political implications of this radical review of “the economic absorptive capacity of Palestine” preclude simple implementation of apparently objective corrective measures.
