“Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.” Psalm 127:4 (ESV)
The Toys ‘R’ Us official statement concerning its imminent store closures said,
“Most of our end-customers are newborns and children, and as a result, our revenues are dependent on the birthrates in countries where we operate. In recent years, many countries’ birthrates have dropped or stagnated as their population ages.”
The only developed country in the world producing enough children to replace and grow its national population is Israel.
Overt hostility toward children that stems from a low regard for life destroys commerce, cultures and countries.
