It is also concerning that in 2022, more than half of caregivers reported noticing a trend in harmful coping mechanisms among children and young people, including substance abuse, self-harm (59%) and suicidal thoughts (55%).

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 an assumption I made. I acknowledge there is a blockade. In fact, that’s kinda the point.
