That's a total population count, it includes all sorts, many of whom are not jewish.
You compare the erection of a nation for people who've been genocided merely for their racial blood lineage (one may say, DNA even) to the preservment of a trivial minoric mere short fan-flic of an Internet game...if you are not a moron, we'll have to invent a new word to describe the depths of the idiocy you have sunked to.
The population of Israel is 6,352,117 with 80-85% being Jewish. That puts the total number of Jews in Israel at between 5 and 6 million (if you count just the Jews reported in the census the number is 5,088,045, if you count non-resident Jews the number is higher).
And yes I do compare Israel to the Wikipedia webpage. I see no reason why that is not a kosher argument. I think it is quite silly for an Israeli to run and hide behind the Holocaust any time he wants to escape an argument. The Holocaust was indeed terrible, but it does not somehow make the entire Jewish people beyond reproach or discussion.
At least I backup my statements and offer rational arguments. Your ability to express your ideas seems to be limited to name calling. How sad. . .
Oh great, he threw the word "kosher" in like I could give a fuck about it, I mean, since I'm a jew I must be some orthodox hassidic with a black fedora hat, black dress, beard and long sideburns.
Wow, you said "kosher" and "holocaust" in the same paragraph, you win the argument.
The census you draw your information from is outdated, it was made from a census which took place quite a long while prior to our current temporal location. These censuses are made only once in quite several years and looking at "prediction" numbers doesn't do any good to support your cause, yes I know which site you ran to for grabbing this bad data.
No retard, I'm not running and hiding behind the Holocaust to escape an argument.
And your attempt to use it for your own escape is most miserable and deplorable.
If you're so dense you can't even grasp the meaning, I'm not even going to bother with you.
Eitherway, the bottom line is that you still are a moron.
If Israel is the equivalent of a WoW fanflic in your retarded mind, then the same must be for the USA, and so on and so forth and that the Holocaust was bad but it doesn't mean that Israel is important, or that jews need it or that nazism is real or whatever.
I can't even begin to grasp the wells of twisted idiocy you have webbed in, what must be, your pitch-black dead brain-case.
The only thing beyond reproach is your utter and shere stupidity and insensitivity, not toward jews, mind you, but against all common sense and logic.
I'm done with you.
Perm ignored.

For my own edification, as well as anyone else who cares; basically, the argument is as follows:
Gravitron: Wikipedia is next to useless because a small group of people can push their own agenda. For example, look at the page about some fan-flic. Because a small number of people think it is important, it remains.
SBM: The very fact that something is adherred to by a small number of people by no means invalidates the quality of that something, or their adherrance. For example, the nation of Israel is the creation of a relatively small minority.
Gravitron: You are a big, fat, poopy-head!
SBM: Namecalling is not an argument. Here are some more facts.
Gravitron: The Jewish people suffered through the Holocaust!
SBM: Without denying the importance of the Holocaust, invoking it every time Israel is discussed does not further the conversation. Stop the namecalling, and stop hiding behind the Holocaust. Try to be rational, please.
Gravitron: You are a retard, a moron, miserable, deplorable, retarded, suffer from twisted idiocy, posess a pitch-black dead brain-case (whatever that means), are stupid and insensitive, &c. THE HOLOCAUST!
I'm with SBM on this one. The comparison between niche articles in Wikipedia and the nation of Israel is a reasonable one. In fact, it is one that is favorable to Israel -- something of quality (i.e. Israel, or an article about some video game fan-flic) continues to exist because of the work of dedicated individuals who represent a minority.
Finally, I invoke a corollary of Godwin's Law: you brought up the Holocaust, and are depicting SBM as someone who, at the very least, is ambivelant towards it, thus comparing him to Hitler. You lose the argument. Sorry, please play again next time.

No Xander, Wikipedia is a dictatorship of the masses, not of minorities.
The only small group on wikipedia is that of intelligence and professionalism.
Retardecy, mass idiotism, fanboyism and SomethingAweful mentality is that which rules wikipedia.
Much like hicks in southern America.
daset, eat my shorts, son.
Xander, up yours.
Niche my fat ass, ain't nothing niche about it.
SubSpace is a niche. Darwinia is a niche.
A friggin half a dozen billion whackos who think WoW is cool and grovel at the feed of a retarded trivial in-game video which isn't even RvB scale is lightyears from being niche, and a crappy piece of machinima at that.
Quality? What quality? All it got is quantity, of poo.
Dedicated Individuals equates to what exactly, bunch of slobbering overzealous overly excited over nothing fanboys who pushed several buttons to write "keep" and hit the submit? Yeah, GG boy.
Hitler was a retard, he is a retard. I see a dinstinct similarity.
Play again next time? WTF kind of retard phrase is that?
Maybe you meant would you like to play again, or do better next time?
And there I was thinking you're actually someone with a head on the shoulders, did you shoot retalin or meth or something? You've degraded...
So, another one cerebrus down, less overall forum IQ.
Leaves Rkiver, neothermic and who else were they...

^ hey, someone should go make an article about that, because it's such an awesome niche starwars parody flic trailer, and there are a gazillion of SW fans who'll vote it off the delete...

Thanks.
If I may be so bold, I see no reason to censor him. He has a right to say whatever the hell he wants, no matter how stupid it makes him look. I would hate to see the forum adopt a policy of censoring trolls -- I think it is a bad precident, and leads to the possibility of other people being censored because they disagree with you, or NeoThermic, or John, or Chris, or anyone else with moderator privilages. Lock the thread, if you wish, but please do not remove the comments from the public record.

Haven't you heard? Icepick has alread started betas. The beta testers have all been escorted to undisclosed locations -- probably in the New Mexico desert, or somewhere near Area 51 -- to test the game. They have all signed NDAs in blood, and the entire group will be shot if there is a single leak.
I, for one, welcome our new, blue-haired overlord.
