Ni le Hamas, ni l’Iran : dans le monde académique, on a trouvé un nouveau coupable des guerres – les enfants

Évaluation

A Bar-Ilan University lecturer has publicly argued that childbirth rates are a major cause of war, drawing sharp criticism from a right-wing news outlet. The critique frames this academic claim as a dangerous distraction from what the outlet sees as the real drivers of conflict: terrorist education, incitement, and a culture of death in the Middle East. The dispute highlights a deepening rift between academic discourse and nationalist media narratives in Israel, where any explanation for war that does not center on enemy ideology is treated as blame-shifting. The next flashpoint will likely be whether other academics defend or distance themselves from this argument.
