I got a deal for everyone here. All those against Israel throw the book at Israel . Get every last thing on them you can bring to light every wrong Israel has ever done . However in the interest of fairness any supporter of Israel likewise is free to do the same against Israel's enemies.

I think this is fair. What do you guys say? Challenge accepted?

Lets see how this turns out.

Seems you don't have much faith in Israel if you're using the old we are not as bad as third world autocracies, theocracies, or the people we have been occupying for decades routine.

Pretty sure it's going to turn out with me not wanting my country to be involved with any of the institutionally racist, semi-theocracies that are constantly at each other's throats.

And since that's my position now, I don't really see the point.

Nothing wrong with the original topic. Such actions deserved to be exposed.

Unfortunately any thread on Israel brings out the conspiracy theorists with their own axe to grind.

This has nothing to do with Jews living in the West!

The question that I have and is not fully answered in the article is why? The article alluded to 'controlling birthrate' but why would they want that?

O.K. lets crank it up and get uglier if that's possible

Before and during WWII Canada had a policy "One is too many" which supported Nazi Germany's policy toward jews. Jews attempting to escape the Nazi's were not allowed to enter Canada. Ecuador took in more jews than Canada as did Bolivia.

So i think the U.S. should cut all ties with Canada. No more trade.

Oh yeah Saudi Arabia, When israel is attacked the U.S. sends aid but when Suadi was threatened by Iraq the U.S. sends troops.

Anyway, it is a fascist ethnostate. What do we expect of them? The degenerate liberalism their media promotes in our nations? That's not part of the strategy. Its their country and none of our business.

Well, some of the women probably did want small families on their own accord. As for any coercion that may have taken place...

Quote:
Speaking to reporters on an episode of Israel Educational Television’s investigative show “Vacuum” that aired on Saturday, several immigrants described the intense pressure placed on them to keep their families small. The women claimed Israeli representatives from the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and the Health Ministry told them that raising large families is especially difficult, that it is for hard people with many children to find work and support their families, and that many landlords would not be willing to rent apartments to large families.

Gal Gabbai, the show’s anchor, reported that in the past decade, approximately 50,000 Ethiopian Jews have immigrated to Israel. During that period, the birth rate among this community, which has traditionally favored very large families, has plummeted by nearly 50 percent.



So, maybe some genuine concern for the welfare of the families involved. However, it's probably not amiss to speculate that the usual quasi-eugenic mindset was at work here as well. You know: "These third-worlders breed like rabbits. The last thing we need is ten-people-to-a-room, sucking off the public teat. If we're gonna let them in, better make sure we keep their numbers down."

It is just as likely that a lot of people thought "oh Israel is an advanced modern culture , good medical care is available so I dont have to worry about half of my children dying before the age of 16, and now that I am not farming I dont need a large family to help with the chores" Just saying.

Indeed. I'd be surprised if there weren't at least some Ethiopian women who wanted smaller families.

However, there does seem to be some evidence of the Israeli government preferring that Ethiopians use birth-control, rather than simply wanting them to have that option if so desired.

Quote:
Israeli authorities denied all of the allegations. However, Gabbai revealed an official letter that she uncovered from the Health Ministry to Dr. Rick Hodes, the director of the JDC Medical Programs in Ethiopia. The letter praised the doctor’s work, noting that whereas fewer than 5% of Ethiopians use any form of birth control, Hodes achieved a rate of 30% among the patients he treated

One often hears people with an agenda trying to construe the offering of birth control and abortion services to impoverished black Americans as a form of eugenics as well. Yet many of the same people on here who are willing to entertain the notion that Israel is engaged in "eugenics" by strongly promoting birth control among poor Ethiopian immigrants would support the same services being offered to poor urban blacks in America without batting an eye-lash, because they can see through the propaganda when it comes to their own country.

Israel has admitted for the first time that it has been giving Ethiopian Jewish immigrants birth-control injections, often without their knowledge or consent.

I get the impression that "knowledge and consent" is kind of the key difference here. I doubt many would care if it were a (probably needed) targeted information campaign to make Ethiopian immigrants aware of the benefits of birth control.

The U.S. has all but a defensive pact with Israel, which means that its actions are profoundly more relevant to me than any other country in the region. Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship that treats women like sh**, immigrants like slaves, and executes innocent women for adultery after they've been raped. Israel is an oppressive, racist state that uses coercion to forcibly remove undesirable races while denying basic human rights to people living in territories it effectively occupies.
In addition:
F*** Iran
F*** Syria
F*** Egypt
And finally, a few words on our military policy and foreign aid.
