Are you saying that based on some evidence, or…?
I don’t think we need to look particularly deep for motivation to have lots of children. It depends on the society / culture / subculture / religion in question, and on a number of other things such as economic status and living standards.
When viewed overall, before the latest escalation, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict actually hasn’t been all that lethal, compared to many other wars. For such a long-lasting conflict, I’d say it had a remarkably low death toll (again, until the current war).
When you consider that, the Palestinian birth rate has generally far exceeded the conflict’s cost in human lives. The reason for having many children here isn’t compensatory, let alone consciously so; it’s all those other things I mentioned.
Besides, you don’t need to look far to see a similar and in fact more extreme version of this on the other side: ultra-Orthodox Jews (whether in Israel or elsewhere). Largely due to religious precepts and the associated culture, they have extremely high birth rates.
As for the OP, I’ll write my response to that in another post.

I won’t say more about the first question, as I already answered that in my earlier response to @Creativerealms . As for the second, it’s basically “apples and oranges”. Just because the Palestinian cause has a vibrant propaganda effort — which it does — doesn’t mean that they aren’t being killed in large numbers in the current war. It also doesn’t mean there haven’t been thousands of deaths — both civilian and militant — in previous wars and some massacres outside of wars.
By all means, treat all of their claims with skepticism. That’s probably commendable. But we don’t need to listen to Hamas propagandists to see that the current Gaza war (October 7th included, mind you) is far and away the most brutal episode in the entire long Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and that Israel isn’t exactly pulling punches, to say the least.

While I can kinda-sorta understand the claim that a Palestinian identity separate from the general Arab identity came about specifically in opposition to Israel and doesn’t have much history on its own besides that, this doesn’t mean that the Palestinian people don’t have identity and culture beyond opposition to Israel and the occupation. They absolutely do — they’re a Levantine Arab people, and have all of the associated culture. A culture that has existed in the region long before there even was a State of Israel.

Oh great, an equal-opportunity hater I guess. Charming.
The land where Israel exists today wasn't just empty before Israel was created. The people who lived there were Muslim, Christian, and Jewish. They were ruled by the Ottomans 1516-1918, then by the British until 1948. Israel then pushed the Muslims out into the Occupied Territories.
It took me 10 minutes to look up this information on my phone. Bigots have no excuse.
That Palestinians would only be "defined by Israel" as a people is a false premise and discloses your denial and pseudohistory. If by "the slaughter of Palestinians" you mean the current massacres in Gaza, it's a current event, so cannot be used for population statistics except in a very recent timeframe.
I would recommend #psycho for the fact that this type of people denial propaganda is also usually part of genocide justifications.
Confused?
