Why dont you email Chomsky Daniel. Im not an expert. Read that link on the email too. I think you two would hit it off--dont axe me why.
 
We can agree then that 1. there are standards which would cause us to void some statistics-- we can refuse to be ignorant and 2. admit that statistics are not unpolitical-- that we not simply take them at face value.  We can agree that 3. these statistics are of questionable statistical value since they deal with ethnic divisions which are based on dubious ethnic distinctions.
 
We can also agree to 4. use the .il statistics anyway provided we violate their "moral" copyright-- And AS I SAID THREE times: **Not with a bot.  A bot's use represents a privelidged means of access to the Wikipedia. Such a privelige must not be given to POV numbers. They are not statistics---the science behind them is poor. They are merely numbers.
 
To use such numbers would require a disclaimer that essentially says "these are not statistics--they are politicized numbers."
