Combating Bottle Rockets

[Hossfly]

Given Hossfly's obsession with Palestinian fertility it might be useful to examine these claims with some actual figures.

Total fertility rate
Palestinian population: 3.51 children born/woman (2011 est.)
Jewish population: 5.07 children born/woman (West Bank alone)

Although polygamy allows as many as four wives - most Palestinian men have only one or two wives.

Hopefully we can now leave this diversion behind.

Why not find us the article about the Arab man who claimed at the time (a few years ago) to have had 54 children with his numerous wives and that he was hoping for a 100. Who knows how many he has by now. The article did go on to state that there were many other Arab men just like him with a slew of kids in Israel. How about telling us, Coyote, what the average number of children is for Israeli women in general, not just the very rellgious Jewish women in the West Bank? Isn't it nice, though, that Israel pays benefits for a man who has more than one wife? By the way, if we are to leave this alone, there are many threads that should be left alone since they go on and on with no end in sight and for really no purpose at all..

I'm not the one claiming the existence of such an article. Feel free to do your own research

Feel free to find it yourself

Why should it matter how many wives a person has? Should single mothers then not get benefits either?
