Fox News host Jesse Watters faced severe backlash after making inflammatory remarks during a discussion about Palestinian birth rates, suggesting they pose a demographic threat to Israelis. He inaccurately stated that Palestinians have an explosive birth rate compared to Israelis, citing unverified statistics. Critiques highlight that his narrative contributes to a racist and genocidal discourse against Palestinians. Online responses called his remarks 'Nazi-level' and emphasized a dangerous escalation of racism and dehumanization in media portrayals of Palestinians. This incident has spurred a larger conversation about responsible media representation in conflict zones.
But the Arab world. The Europeans, the media, they're not pressuring us. They're not pressuring the Israelis. We have a free hand here.
This is Nazi-level shit right here. There is no one, no one, on American television who speaks in a more racist and genocidal way about Palestinians than Jesse Watters.
Demographically, they're a threat. Not to mention the national security threat. There is no way you can have these two people living side by side.
Data, however, is at odds with Watters comments. According to Statista, the fertility rate...was 3.44 children per women in 2022.
