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.
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.
why anyone would try to have a family in the circumstances of Palestine.
To resist genocide
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…
When you’re an autistic and your hear an autistic and you think that’s some grade a autism right there
Although could just be German
They tried several times, and that was before Israel had a nuclear triad.
So, no.
This is not a long term solution. I feel your frustration with the genocidal entity that is Israel, but forcing any ethnic group to be second class citizens is immoral and shortsighted.
Jews were oppressed, now they are oppressors, and you want them to be oppressed again? That’s a horrific cycle of war and injustice with no end in sight.
Peace, human rights and dignity for all is the only stable long term solution.
Death, death to the IDF.
