If we're going by "number of inhabitants who are from other cultures and weren't born there", Toronto and New York would be contenders as well.
OK. I didn't check the figures out before posting. My mistake.Wiki says about 36% in both London and NYC are foreign born
Jerusalem has certainly been the centre of trade routes for a long time, I think.
Historically, Jerusalem's economy was supported almost exclusively by religious pilgrims, as it was located far from the major ports of Jaffa and Gaza.[309]
I wonder why they just won't use the stairs, instead of resorting to this loophole. Obviously God isn't an idiot. I mean, obviously he doesn't actually exist, but c'mon.. this is sillier than silly hats.
I just looked up sabbath elevators. I am still not convinced that it isn't a joke, but okay, fine, it isn't a joke.
A Shabbat elevator is an elevator which works in a special mode, operating automatically, a way to circumvent the Jewish law requiring observers to abstain from operating electric switches on Shabbat.

So how do you make sure that Israel stays a Jewish state, again? I'll also note that you aren't denying it.Mouthwash said:The strawman goes up, up... and away!
Electrical switches is just the tip of the iceberg. There are 39 prohibited categories of "work", including "demolition", which means you cannot bowl since it involves knocking pins down. The prohibition of "threshing" means you cannot wring water out of clothing. The general restriction of "building", which is also why turning on or off light switches is prohibited, also means that you cannot extinguish a fire even if your house is on fire. But if someone might die as a result, you are required to extinguish it. In fact, saving a life trumps all restrictions.

I can understand why: that policy has already been enforced. Unfortunately, thousands of those Arabs work in Israel, so they need to enter and leave daily. But ofcourse, we shan't compare that to SA's Bantustan policy. Because that would be wrong: SA never built a fence around itself (well, except in a figurative way).

We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Jewish children. Is that a fair characterization of your views?
