I'm sure they would, what I'm saying is that it was their own choice to have such large families in such a small area.

That is usually the case with any 'specie' at threat of extinction.. they have a large population, of whom very few end up surviving.. the future of Palestine lies in its children.. and insha'Allah they will be able to do what their fathers failed to do- claim what is rightly theirs!

The truth is that families here in Gaza are having smaller numbers lately, that's to say that you'll find that all new families consist of 2 parents and 2 or 3 children and that's all.

You should see the Chassidic of NY -- they pop them out like bunnies, typical family has 7~8 kids.. I don't hear any complaints when it comes to them.. sobhan Allah
Hasidic Jews typically produce large families; the average chasidic family in the United States has 7.9 children.[1] This custom is followed out of a desire to fulfill the Biblical mandate to "be fruitful and multiply."

Interesting. I don´t know any family from Gaza whose would only few kids (even my friends whose are married recently). Most of them have four or more.

I'm referring to an overall situation that covers the whole area lately. People are no more having as many children as their parents had. I'm sensing this around me everywhere even if there are still families that consist of 4 kids or so. Still, people used to have up to 9 kids years ago.

I will agree that Gaza is unique. The entire region all 360 Square KM is basically a residential area with a few spots the size of a small town park being called rural. Any munitions that have a blast radius of over 10 feet will endanger non-combatants. does one go into such a region with massive fire power unless the primary intent is to kill the entire population.

Now, let us look at the "Danger" the Qassam and Katyusha rockets posed:

The range is very limited. The qassams are home made and not much more than sky rockets in metal skins. The range I believe is no more than 1 KM. The katyushas although antiques do pose a greater danger the most modern Katyusha has a range of almost 4 miles. It seems the most humane action Israel could have taken would have been to declare a buffer zone extending 5 miles out from the Gaza border and outlaw the building of residences in that area. this would have rendered any rockets from Gaza useless.

I know it would be unfair to ask some Jewish settlers to move out of their homes. But what happened to the Palestinians that got kicked out of their homes in 1948 and forced to go to Gaza, is fair..

My point being Israel had options to disable the threat without needing to level Gaza.

Palestinians have been hitting as far as 25 miles from Gaza border, so your 5 mile buffer zone was no option to disable that threat. Belittling the death and danger Israeli civilians have to endure thanks to Hamas (and friends) wont make it go away.

The difference is that they've got room and they don't go complaining to others when they run out of it.

... I can only wonder how exactly did this action lead to Palestine staying on map any better than Fatah way of negotiating.

Ok looks like I need to clarify it. When Israel marches into Palestininan land with bulldozers, Hamas is in the way - not Fatah. As long as Hamas exists, they halt Israel from stealing land (via charging the streets). Unfortunately, the way Hamas goes about this leads to the deaths of countless civilians on either side. I agree with Hamas in being a road block that prevents Israel from bulldozing Palestinian homes (and forcing the citizens out!). But, I disagree with their methodology in doing so.

I think it's more like you can have as many children as you want but don't come complaining to us when you find yourself in one of the most crowded areas in the world.
 
So they are under siege politically, economically, and now they're expected to stop reproducing? Sounds lovely.

How many big city families have 5+ children? They don't. Nobody can force anyone to have less children, it's up to them to figure out its the best thing to do.

The "west's" standards are not world standards; come to arab countries and see how many children an average family has, then ask how many families have 5 children or more.

As I said, they're allowed to have as many children as they want as long as they are willing to face the consequences. If that's their standard, they shouldn't be complaining.
Surely they can't expect Israel or the UN will grant them additional room based on violent demographics.
 
And Israel should face the consequences of murdering civilians, almost 500 of whom are children.

Oh, wait. This is Israel we're talking about...

For zionist rabbis killing children of enemy is as they would slaughter animals. They claims they holy Torah give right for them to do so.
