Welp. Time for AA to correct this clearly biased article!

It's pretty much as supportive of their plight and protests as stories about this I've been posting on Facebook, both in English and in Hebrew. This is an example of a situation that is actually a big deal, and which false accusations of sterilization and genocide (which, notably, the protestors aren't making) would just obfuscate.

But keep giving Hasbara shills a coup by saying unsubstantiated and false nonsense and thus help them cover up for these real atrocities, I guess. :shrug:

I like the subtle attempt at trying to spin forced sterilization of an ethnicity as not being genocide.

I am separating the claims: you and your like are lying when you say individuals were sterilized, and you your like are lying even further when you are saying so many were sterilized systematically and with the intent to eliminate a population as to amount to genocide. I have heard these lies separately in the wild, so I am addressing them separately.

Is that a good old anything, or is that the best your antisemitic mind can come up with now? Aren't you going to find another rationale to hate me? I remember before this came up you accused me of being a GiP poster, and that's why you're hating on me. Fact of the matter is your an antisemite and like finally being in a position, as a German, to spread hate against Jews with social legitimacy, which you can't currently do at home, as people there still remember the Holocaust, that your ancestors perpetrated.

oh my god this website is amazing

aside from the fact that the guy also writes books on how to obtain software patents (because of course) his origin story is pretty much what you'd expect. read the fountainhead/atlus shrugged as a teenager, worshiped ayn rand. reckoned himself a child prodigy. met with failure in life and had a mental breakdown. his therapist told him to dabble in philosophy to improve his mental health, so he read the rest of ayn rand's corpus. concluded that to be truly happy, one must not just be a rich rear end in a top hat, but a rich rear end in a top hat who meditates. rejects buddhist notions of abandoning attachment to the material world because of course.

I think describing Randler as an antisemite is a little reductionist; Randler just hates all non-Catholics and most Catholics for not being Catholic enough, including the Pope, although the staunch Teutonic nature of Randler means she can't express this dangerously anti-authoritarian perspective.

So Ethiopian jews wasn't given contraception without them knowing about it?

This letter of complaint sent by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, on behalf of "Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), Isha L’Isha – Haifa Feminist Center, Tebeka – Advocacy for Equality and Justice for Ethiopian-Israelis, Israel Association for Ethiopian Jews, Physicians for Human Rights – Israel, and Tmura – Legal Center for the Prevention of Discrimination", from 2013, is the latest actual listing of accusations leveled. You will not find the terms "genocide" or "sterilization" there.

As to your specific question, most of the report focuses on two aspects: the fact that women were not properly informed of the side effects of Depo Provera, and that they were not informed of alternatives, even though those are widely available in Israel, including to Ethiopian women (and most of the latter who use contraception use a monthly pill).

The only sentence raising the concern that you are raising is: "[s]ome of them were not even told that this is a birth-control measure". Which to me states that this was an issue for only a minority of these women.

Again, I cannot stress this enough, even without that sentence this would be a huge breach of medical ethics for all of those involved, and particularly by those in the Joint who seem to have been the originators of this issue. With that sentence it is even worse. But even being given contraceptives without knowing it is not sterilization, because it is reversible as soon as that is discovered. It would be different if they were being forced or not being informed about having their tubes tied. Which, to the best of my knowledge, has not happened.

But as things stand, it is not sterilization, and it is not genocide. It is simply another of many instances of the systemic racism and prejudice that Ethiopians face in Israel, which has come to a head now, although if you lot had actually bothered listening to what I'd been saying for the past month, you'd know this was coming a long while ago.

Your monomaniacal focus on this one instance and the inappropriate inflammatory language you use about it is a detriment to any discussion of this issue. Again, Ethiopians are rising in protest and are not talking about this; if your interpretation of the situation were true, this is all they would be talking about. I suggest you cease from whitesplaining to them.

And with that I have no interest in addressing this issue further, and I will proceed to ignore it when it comes up.
