Fertility rate in Gaza is 3.6 - 7.0 children per childbearing aged woman, each of the last 30 years.

Makes no sense to have non-stop kids in poverty, no job, region run by religious terrorists.
What’s going on?

The poorest countries of the world also have the highest fertility rates. It’s always been the case.

Contraception and abortion are usually restricted by "authorities", in Gaza case - Hamas.

Women have zero rights in Palestine. Their role is to pop out babies.

That sounds more like the Jewish settlers who don’t think women should learn to read or leave the house, just make babies.

The percentage of educated women is one of the highest in the world with Palestinians.

Female literacy and education rates are nearly identical for Israelis and Palestinians. However women’s percentage in the workforce is much higher in Israel.

Percentage in the workforce is higher in Israel more generally relative to Palestine. Hard to create jobs when there's a constant fear of attack and bombs dropping.

Fear of attack like what happened at a musical festival to innocent civilians?

Hey, what is your experience building capitalistic societies within concentration camp confines and under a complete 24/7 land, sea and air blockade, enforced by shoot-on-sight protocols?

It helps to not elect terrorists to run the government. Maybe try that?

Oh, the irony! The majority of those Gazans murdered by Mileikowsky, your elected terrorist, didn’t have an opportunity to elect anyone.

Are you denying that Hamas was elected?

I’m
American so not sure what you’re going on about.

There's a lot of propaganda, misinformation and deliberate lies that comes from the side of the colonizer/occupier/genocider in order to justify their own Holocaust. It's all over this thread just as it is in the media and elsewhere.

Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Ten Myths About Israel, and The Biggest Prison on Earth: A History of Gaza and the Occupied Territories are all excellently researched books that are both shocking and illuminating.

Some other books I would add to the list
The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi
Anything by Norman Finkelstein
Genocide Bad by Sim Kern
On Palestine by Noam Chomsky

Some of the best books on the topic are written by Jewish/Israeli authors.

Thank you for this list. We as Americans need to educate ourselves on what’s going on over there. And glad to see these books were written by Jews. Everything is labeled as “antisemitic” if it criticizes Israel.

Silly post. Palestine is one of the poorest areas on earth. That’s what happens when you live under occupation, apartheid and a blockade.

Sure, Jan. You’re TOTALLY American. 🙄

Anyhoo, are you unaware that over 70% of Gazans were either not born yet or ineligible to vote when Hamas was (barely) elected 20 years ago?

You are really funny. Do you think a lot of people from overseas are on a dc moms message board?

I notice you still refuse to acknowledge that Hamas was elected and enjoys high approval ratings among Palestinians. Here’s just one poll reported by NPR including support for Hamas and for the terror attacks.

A lot of nations are poor yet do not elect terrorist governments or attack their neighbors. And as pointed out, their literacy and education rates are high.

Hmm …

What is the greater tragedy?

A. 1,125 dead Israelis, over 300 of whom were active duty security services and another several hundred of whom had served dishonorably in the IDF.

or

B. 35,000 dead women and children in Gaza, none of whom voted for Hamas.

Oh please. Check out the post earlier about “Yiddish breath.” That’s pure unadulterated Jew hatred and yes, anti semitism, not nuanced and thoughtful criticism of a government.

Open your eyes to the hate. It’s right in front of you.

Echoing the voices of many other Zionist politicians, Elad Barashi, a famous Israeli TV producer, calls for gas chambers and another Holocaust in Gaza

October 7. It’s the difference between self defense and unprovoked merciless terror.

Stop firing missiles into Israel and return the hostages. The war will end.

Israel is the only European settler colonial project in the world remaining and the only one to cry victim while ethnic cleansing and genociding the colonized, indigenous population.
