Comment on YSK that 55% of Gazan Children has suicidal thoughts in a 2022 report

It’s not too surprising. But I do have to seriously question why anyone would try to have a family in the circumstances of Palestine. I struggle to justify it, living in a first world democratic country because of climate change and overpopulation concerns I have. I can’t imagine considering it in a country that’s permanently under oppression by their ethnic supremacist neighbours.

That’s not what I said.
What’s your point? It is also pretty clear why Gazans and Palestinian in general create families. It is a biological need to have a family. Israel is never intending to end occupation and want less Palestinians and not more so it is also resistance to occupation and genocide
I don’t agree that there’s a biological need to procreate. There is a biological drive to procreate. But there’s no need.
It is resistance to occupation, and ultimately resistance to the ongoing genocide. But personally, I’d feel so much guilt to bring a child into that situation. Is it worth allowing a child to suffer so much to stick it to Israel? I can’t imagine what couples go through making the decision to try to have kids.
They’re fighting for the very survival and preservation of their culture.
It could also be that most of those children were born before 2022
Bruh, you’re saying the equivalent of: “Why does the Chinese/Koreans even bother to have children when they are under imperial japanese occupation.”

antinatalists… smh…

you’re assuming that if a woman didn’t want to get pregnant, that she’d have access to birth control or abortions in the first place. there’s this thing called the Israeli blockade

That’s not an assumption I made. I acknowledge there is a blockade. In fact, that’s kinda the point.
