Housing definitely plays a role. Or to be more precise, the culture of housing in your neighborhood.

If we all moved near the romani shantytowns, our birth rate would skyrocket 10x

held to higher standard? As if , people are justifying the destruction of synagogues in 1948?

What would be the normal standard then? You are saying it's justified as some kind of retribution? what nonsense is this

Of course not. It's voluntary tourism and bomb-assisted suicide

It's as if Israel wants to create a giant new generation of terrorists. So they can test their new weapons on them. Maybe that's the plan in this festival of cynicism

It's not really israeli but US propaganda at this point. On reddit it's clear what s the editorial line of most moderators

It's a common justification given, but it's not true. The same happened in almost every advanced european society in the 80s, when things weren't unaffordable. Urbanization is probably the largest contributor to this, because children are absolutely optional in city dwellers.

We should stop pretending we can reverse this trend, and the whole doom-saying around it. Instead southern europe needs to plan for the medium-term future, which necessarily include the transformation/abolition of the unsustainable welfare state paradigm built in the 80s.

Interesting that the same record happened in neighbouring greece. Interesting to see if there are regional dynamics in this? Humans are influenced by their physical surrounding
