???In Gaza, where nearly half of the population is under 18, a children's rights crisis is unfolding
Gaza has a population of 2+ million and HALF those are under 18? What? That’s a crazy statistic.
That’s what war and siege does. People lose children a lot so they have more children.
This is what it means to live in Gaza:
0–14 years: 44.1% (male 415,746/female 394,195) 15–24 years: 21.3% (male 197,797/female 194,112) 25–54 years: 28.5% (male 256,103/female 267,285) 55–64 years: 3.5% (male 33,413/female 30,592) 65 years and over: 2.6% (male 24,863/female 22,607) (2018 est.)
Sir_KevinMaybe I don’t know, don’t bring more people into the world if they live on a literal battlefield?
I don’t even want to bring kids into america right now. I can’t imagine how selfish one would have to be to bring a child into a warzone where their life expectancy is half the norm and they will suffer the entire time.
This is such an ignorant take and yet you felt compelled to share it as if it’s some obvious truth. I wish I could walk around with that kind of confidence.
Right, because Israel is forcing them to have kids. Great comparison!
Evie It’s either have kids or go extinct… And your comment seems like you are literally saying to them “go extinct because Israel has/had a right to control your procreation process and land”.
Gross
If you want to bring children into a world where they will suffer and die young, that’s your choice.
I would rather go extinct if I’m not able to relocate (and no, I’m not saying relocation is an option for the people of Gaza).
More like I am against genocide and don’t judge humans for doing human things. It’s like saying people a crossed all existence should just not have kids and we should all die cause of your personal reasons… just like a religious person should do, your should keep your views to yourself and stop preaching them.
I understand why humans procreate and sometimes don’t have any control or luxury to that control like first world countries do… But it sounds like you rather shame humans for doing human things than actually come up with helpful solutions.
Blaming the victims of circumstances for trying to still be Human doesn’t make you superior, no matter how many times you type it from behind your privileged existence on a keyboard.
Idiocracy was a documentary. That is all I have to say.
