21% of Israel's population consists of Arabs. They have a TFR of 3. A futher 12.6% of Israel is composed of Haredi Jews. They have a TFR of 7. Factor those in and Israel's fertility rate is no longer so extraordinary. Plus, 30-35% of Israel is composed of Mizrahim Jews. They are not European like Ashkenazi and have semitic features and IQ. Low Iq people tend to have a high birth rate.

A lot of people don't realize this but Israel is only about 35-40% Ashkenazi, i.e European Jews. They have an IQ of about 103 and hold up the Jewish state. That's why Israel is so developed despite having an average iq of 94. Its held up by a large smart fraction.

I don't know if there's data for non-haredi ashkenazi Jews, but their fertility trends should be no different than Russian Jews in Israel. Their TFR is 1.5

They have an IQ of about 103

Ashkenazi IQ is more like 110. Why do you think the ones in Israel have less?

IQ tests of Israeli military recruits show that Ashkenazi have an IQ of 103.
