The murderous IDF has been escalating vicious attacks against Palestinians in Gaza, particularly police officers, violating the so-called 2025 Dummkopf Trumpf ceasefire. Palestinian medics or ambulance drivers have been constant targets of the IDF.


Near Jabaliya, the Israelis killed Ahmed Halawa (14) and on Monday night, at least four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a police post in Deir Al-Balah central Gaza. Early Saturday, another attack on a police post killed six people in Al-Bureij in central Gaza.

Israeli forces have killed more than 750 Palestinians since the ersatz ceasefire, including over 300 children, women, and the elderly.

Well over 72,000 Palestinians have been killed in IDF attacks since Benjamin Netanyahu began his ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza on 7 Oct 2023 to make room for good-for-nothing Jared Kushner's luxury beachside resort for wealthy Israelis.

UN human rights chief Volker Turk condemned Israel's recent violence in the Gaza Strip, saying that "the unrelenting pattern of killings" reflects Israel's "sweeping impunity."

International arrest warrants for war crimes issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague remain active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former IDF General Yoav Gallant. In addition, the Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and 30 other suspected Israeli war criminals.

Indictments are merely allegations. To ensure a fair trial, Messrs Netanyahu and Gallant must both be presumed innocent until they are proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt at an international tribunal to be held for them in the Hague at future dates.

How Israelis are allowed to participate in UEFA games, the Olympics, or Eurovision contests is anyone's guess.

There is actually fodder here for a real discussion about the birthrate, and young people who skew towards being more liberal are not dating or engaging in sex nearly as much as in the past. But no one here can resist the urge to just sling insults at the others party.

Have you listened to what young people are saying about why they aren't having kids?

Seems like any reasonable person would start there.

The Main Reason Why Fewer People Are Having Kids
In not having children, as in staying single, adults are following their hearts.
Updated July 27, 2024
Key points
The number-one reason people under 50 don't have kids is that they just don't want to.
The expense and concern about the state of the world are factors in the decision not to have kids.
Some people don't like children or simply prefer to pursue other interests and goals in life.

When asked why they are unlikely to have children, the top answer for adults younger than 50 is that they just don't want to. Over half of these adults (57%) say this is a major reason, much higher than the share of adults 50 and older who say the same (31%).

Similarly, by differences of 12 to 25 percentage points, those in the younger group are more likely than those ages 50 and older to say each of the following is a major reason they are unlikely to have children:

They want to focus on other things (44% vs. 21% in the older group)
Concerns about the state of the world (38% vs. 13%)
They can't afford to have a child (36% vs. 12%)
They don't really like children (20% vs. 8%)
