Weighing In: A Simple Solution to a Simple Problem
\nBy: Felix de Rosen<\/strong><\/p>\n

On February 3, Martin Kramer, visiting scholar at Harvard\u2019s Weatherhead Center, gave a six-minute speech at the annual Herzliya Conference in Herzliya, Israel (discussed by Jeremy below<\/a>). In that short amount he time, he provided a clear call<\/a> for the West to curb Gaza\u2019s exploding population by ending pro-natal subsidies for Gazans:<\/p>\n

\u201cAging populations reject radical agendas, and the Middle East is no different. Now eventually, this will happen among the Palestinians too, but it will happen faster if the West stops providing pro-natal subsidies for Palestinians with refugee status.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, as Kramer admits, the idea of slashing the Palestinian birthrate by ending UNRWA aid does not originate with him, and he \u201ccredit[s] Gunnar Heinsohn for making a much more detailed case for it,\u201d as well as for coining the term \u201csuperfluous young men.\u201d Heinsohn, a German academic at the University of Bremen, made the case in more depth in a Wall Street Journal<\/em> op-ed<\/a> published in January 2009, at the height of the Gaza war. I meant to write about Heinsohn\u2019s article at the time, but the Kramer controversy is as good a time as any to revisit it. (The New Left Review<\/em> has more background<\/a> on Heinsohn and his politics.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
