Hey guys I have been hearing reports of a genocide of black Jews. Does anyone care to comment?

An NGO tasked with assisting Ethiopian Jews before their immigration to Israel had some of its doctors either force or mislead women about the necessity/health risks of using Depo Provera, a common long-term birth control therapy.

There was a big outcry about it, and suggestions of a wide-ranged conspiracy, after which a high official in the Israeli Health Ministry clarified to doctors that they really, really need to make sure that their patients know what they're taking and why before they prescribe refills.

This has become "Israel is literally genociding black Jews" in the eyes of low-information anti-Israelis.

That's it.

It's not ironic if you think that the problem Jews had is that they weren't organized enough, well-armed enough, or had a territory to call their own, which is what Zionists thought the real Jewish problem was. Part of being highest on the totem pole is getting to poo poo on people below you.

By the way, I don't want to suggest that Ethiopian Jews don't suffer absurd amounts of official and popular discrimination in Israel. There's been several lockouts at a long-term Immigrant Center down South of the country due to their conditions, exorbitant fees, and lack of prospects. They're underrepresented pretty much anywhere other than the lowest rungs of employment (if they are employed), and recently suffer the risk of being confused for those damned Sudanese Eritrean Muslim Christians out to kill whitey and being attacked by mobs for it.

But those are actually verifiable claims that don't seem monstrous enough for some people, so you hear less of that and more "genocide :byodood:".

I like how you can admit that a general culture of bigotry and hatred exists and is directed towards Israel's Ethiopian Jews, and yet find it impossible to think that some Israelis would take Israel's usual brand of hatred and elevate it to literal nazi levels of abuse.

You don't get to make a society based on a racial/religious hierarchy and expect that everyone will be treated equally and/or at all as human beings! Israel's definitely made 0 strides in amending its literal white nationalist ways, man. And it's a loving shame considering what spurred Israel into creation, but, eh, humans are real short sighted when it comes to race/religious hatreds.

I dunno what you could argue for that would make Israel look good for that time they forced birth control and other sterilization methods onto their black immigrants exclusively, Absurd. Israel's an apartheid state, just own up to it! You'll be forced to within the next few decades!

Yeah, it is a breach of medical ethics and endangers public health. It is a bad thing. It's not genocide. I'm not letting people get away with misusing words for shock value, sorry.

It's not impossible. It simply is not the case. It's not a lack of imagination on my part, it's a lack of evidence on the part of the detractors. I refuse to believe things just because "well, it's possible, and Israel bad, so I will believe and defend it". It kills one's credibility.

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of act I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["genocide"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the act of Israelis involved in this case is not that.

What about the testimonies of 35 ethiopian women who were forcibly treated with birthcontrol and not at all given an explanation of the risks or even its purpose? You don't need imagination when you've got the actual victims standing right in front of you talking about it!

Well I'm a black american so I'm more or less de facto morally superior due to generational suffering, so I'm absolved of that guilt!

But yeah, that japanese interment thing was pretty... not good. I still can't believe it happened and am kind of upset it's not something brought up more often, alongside the slew of other atrocities America's committed against its nonwhite citizens. :shrug:
