If there were a lot of mountains, and the Jews stood sideways, that might
help.

Alternatively, there could be lots of caves, or the whole country could
be built like a shopping mall with lots of levels everywhere and no
parking lots.

Another interpretation of the idea that there could be that # of Jews in
Israel is that the size of the country designated as "Israel" might be
increased to include more than just present-day Israel.  Hmmmm...
