A few{{which||Any others except Israel??|date=April 2012}} developed countries have never had sub-replacement fertility for reasons that are unique to the particular country. One example of that is Israel, where a declining Arab, and [[Bedouin]] fertility rate is countered by religious Jewish groups (mostly [[Haredim]]) with higher than average fertility rates. In addition, the [[aliyah]] of (mostly non religious) Jews from the former [[USSR]] shifted from a 1 child per woman fertility rate to an average fertility rate close to 2.2 children per woman. As of 2008, Israel's Jewish fertility rate is the highest among the industrial nations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theettingerreport.com/OpEd/General/Demographic-Optimism,-Not-Pessimism.aspx|title=Demographic Optimism, Not Pessimism -Yoram Ettinger|date=January 2013}}</ref>
