This would solve a lot of Republican’s problems as well. Israel has the kibbutz system and they have the highest birth rate of developed economies. They also have amazing tech and women participation and excellent contributions even in the military. If you raise the country’s children well, you get more GDP and less prisons and less need for policing, and less need for welfare programs. Plus you get quality workers for those american-made factories.

Only about 1-2% of Israelis live on a kibbutz, and unsurprisingly that number has recently fallen.
You actually see the elevated birth rates even in Tel Aviv. There’s a broader cultural expectation that would be impossible to recreate elsewhere.

Israel is a fake country entirely subsidized by the USA. If the US stopped giving billions of dollars to Israel every year it would flounder and fail.

what does it mean “fake country”?
What is the test one can use to determine a “real” country?

The USA is barely getting around to banning legal child marriage. Many many countries have not only child marriages, but arranged child marriages which can fall into selling these 'brides'. Not sure the Israel is any worse than other countries.

Israel's current birthrate has more to do with the ultra-Orthodox and Arab communities and nothing to do with the kibbutz system. The ultra-Orthodox communities are also exempt from those "excellent contributions even in the military". While female ultra-Orthodox participation in the workforce is around 80%, that's largely due to males not participating (50%).[0]
