Even setting aside “population growth” as a popular genocide denial trope, its a false claim. During the Gaza blockade dating back to 2008 the IDF implemented a policy designed to strictly limit the number of food calories entering the Gaza corridor, for the purpose of engineering famine as a limit on population growth.
Consequently, Gaza residents have some of the highest mortality figures in the world both in terms of shortened lifespans and high rates of infant mortality. Their population has been stagnant for decades, in a region where every other neighboring population has grown over time.
This is because of a deliberate Israeli policy to cap the number of Palestinian residents who can survive in Gaza. It is a textbook instance of a concentration camp.
