If you only criticize civilian casualties when Palestine resists, then your concern isn't civilian casualties. Your concern is Palestine resisting massacre. (lemy.lol)

I'd like to add even more context: ~45% of Palestine is under the age of 14.

Is condom use against their religion?

Palestinians do not have consistent access to clean water, no I don't think they have consistent access to condoms.

“Palestinian women are not having lots of children because they don’t know about contraception, or can’t access contraception,” says Sara Randall, an anthropologist at University College London, who co-authored the 2006 investigation. “So one has to conclude that they actually want lots of children.” source

FYI links to her study, about Demography, not access to contraception - lead to a 404 page.

Here's a prrtty informal survey about Gazan access to contraception, it sort of suggests they have, like I said, inconsistent access to contraception.

The article you linked to makes many excellent points. When you're poor, bored, and chock full of bombing-induced PTSD, having many kids is seen as a good idea.
