    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 for myself, 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.

    ETA: It may not be clear. I’m empathizing with the situation that a young Palestinian couple would find themselves in. Choosing to introduce a child into their world with little hope for improvement is an agonizing choice, and yet there’s the constant challenge that if they don’t, they as a people risk dying out.

      why anyone would try to have a family in the circumstances of Palestine.

      What know? We are going to advocate for restricting gazan right to reproduce too?

          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.

              You may not realize it but you just doing israeli apologies. Israel want no Palestinians at all . You know that Israel will never stop the occupation unless forced. What happen after centuries of people stop making children’s? Basically self extermination.

              People using there right to to give birth to kids is not something to feel guilty about . Israel is the only one to blame, you can’t blame the oppressed for it
