The most effective step would be to scrap the benefit cap and the two-child limit.

1/7 By me: US capitalists are wallowing in previously unimaginable quantities of unearned wealth. Silicon Valley billionaires are triumphant in their seemingly unassailable power over the world’s nation states - its central bankers, govts & markets.

So Netanyahu is ignoring international pressure to stop, he's going against UN law and has committed multiple war crimes. The apathy and shoulder-shrugging of the so-called 'civilised' leaders is utterly disgusting.
