The actual context of this quote from Israeli Judge, Asher Grunis, was in a ruling upholding the right of the Israeli state to stop arab Israeli's marrying non Israeli arabs, and then these spouses being automatically granted Israeli citizenship. This practise was banned on both security grounds, and because it was starting to affect the demographics of Israel and would if continued, have led to the Jews becoming a minority in their own state. Predictably arab 'human rights' groups (if that's not an oxymoron?), who had been championing the rights of arabs to swamp Israel via this backdoor immigration, are unhappy at this eminently sensible decision.

| 4.6 million Arabs want to get into Israel |
But just imagine the fuss if 3 or 4 million 'Christians' or Jews emigrated to a small arab state, then demanded it stop being 'Muslim' ... would those same arab 'human rights' groups support that? .... they didn't when Israel was founded this way. Incidentally, one the Palestinian key demands is that around *4.6 million palestinian 'refugees' living in surrounding states, be allowed to live in Palestine and Israel ... a move which would effectively wipe Israel off the map.
However, I am not so interested in the arab belief that they can use immigration via marriage to undermine Israel. No, I think that the ruling, and the logic behind it, is so profound, that a few UK and European judges, who often perversely use 'human rights' considerations to stop the deportations of suspected terrorists, illegal immigrants, failed asylum seekers, and foreign criminals (including rapists, paedophiles, and murderers), might occasionally stop and think about its implications.
*in January 2010, UNRWA cited there being 1,396,368 registered refugees in camps, and a further 3,370,302 registered refugees not in camps
