Israel admits Ethiopian women were given birth control shots
 

Fair play to Israel for admitting it, people knew anyway, but most this stuff gets denied, nice to see a bit of honesty. :2 cents:

"Health Minister director general instructs all gynecologists in Israel's four health maintenance organizations not to inject women with long-acting contraceptive Depo-Provera if they do not understand ramifications of treatment. "

Well stay in Ethiopia and there will be no problems.

but every Jew is meant to be safe in Israel, what about if they are being persecuted in Ethiopia?

Any comment condemning the practice, would of course be considered anti semetic:winkwink:

This one was Jews discriminating against Black Jews, that's a tricky one! :thumbsup

of course

more than one mention of israel is a good indicator that you're anti semetic

ouch baby!

they're NOT being persecuted in Ethiopia. They can stay where they are.....They may be the Jew RELIGION but they're not real jews in terms of ethnicity....So stay the fuck in Ethiopia.

According to genetic studies the Beta Israel have ancient Jewish descent :2 cents:

Smart. I wish they would do the same thing with women on welfare in Canada. Could save us billions in taxes and bad kids growing up wild.

It is REALLY screwed up that this happened. Seriously terrible.


"
A government official has for the first time acknowledged the practice of injecting women of Ethiopian origin with the long-acting contraceptive Depo-Provera.

Health Ministry Director General Prof. Ron Gamzu has instructed the four health maintenance organizations to stop the practice as a matter of course. The ministry and other state agencies had previously denied knowledge or responsibility for the practice, which was first reported five years ago. Gamzu?s letter instructed ?all gynecologists in the HMOs not to renew prescriptions for Depo-Provera for women of Ethiopian origin if for any reason there is concern that they might not understand the ramifications of the treatment.? Gamzu also instructed physicians to avail themselves of translators if need be.

Gamzu?s letter came in response to a letter from Sharona Eliahu-Chai of the Association of Civil Rights in Israel, representing several women?s rights and Ethiopian immigrants? groups. The letter demanded the injections cease immediately and that an investigation be launched into the practice.

About six weeks ago, on an Educational Television program journalist Gal Gabbay revealed the results of interviews with 35 Ethiopian immigrants. The women?s testimony could help explain the almost 50-percent decline over the past 10 years in the birth rate of Israel?s Ethiopian community. According to the program, while the women were still in transit camps in Ethiopia they were sometimes intimidated or threatened into taking the injection. ?They told us they are inoculations,? said one of the women interviewed. ?They told us people who frequently give birth suffer. We took it every three months. We said we didn?t want to.?



Glad it has been stopped, but it never should have happened....

That is seriously fucked up. Can you imagine the up roar if it was the other way around?

that seems similar to what Hitler did..

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh I thought it, thanks for saying it :winkwink:

Yea I can see how killing millions of people is "similar" to giving someone "birth-control pills" w.o. them knowing it :Oh crap

how many people did he kill?

Ah I see what you did there :pimp

Where do you see the word pill.

What was ultimately the goal?

Are you guys serious? I'm not in any way saying what they (Israel) did to these women were right, but comparing it to holocaust is just too far out.

Does it matter, pill or injection. That's why I put the "" around it.

Yes it does matter, they are chemically sterilizing people, albeit temporarily, it's still straight from the Nazi playbook. Much as Gaza is a mirror image of Warsaw.

Who compared it the holocaust? All I'm saying is if this was the other way around a certain people would be going ape shit.

I'm sure you could do that with a pill too. You didn't really get the "" did you?

In any case, I'm out of this debate. It's stupid.

It was probably a humane act of kindness.

yikes!!!!

:1orglaugh

You should go back to Africa and save us taxpayers our money. Less bitching too. :thumbsup

Hello???? The U.S. sterilized Puerto Rican women for years to test their methods incase they needed to use it in Vietnam.... No one complained about that???

what they are doing there any way?

that's because they did it to their own citizens and was covered up by 'only being done to poor criminal black people.. and their families', but in reality it was done to all races of a poor nature

so when you ask, 'why doesn't the americans treat the world like they treat themselves'..

u have your answer

in CZ they took it a step further and sterilized gypsy women while giving birth to avoid more children from them...

i just find it odd that nations that suffered from the germans come up with the same ideas - you would think people learn from history

not the holocost, the Nazis; sterilizing "inderior" people happened in Nazi Germany and now in Israel

when did the CZ do this?

it says the last known case was in 2004

thats what i was thinking.
battle of the DNA?

BTW, I have been to Auschwitz death camps, what was done there was truly beyond human behavior. Humans were treated worse than butcher cattle.

and I have been to Israel.
I cannot fathom why the US have been supporting the Israeli nation for decades, it is the worst example of everything the US praise in their own nation (freedom and equality etc).

exactly, this is eugenism

'beyond human nature' indeed.

didn`t dare say it .. you know .. that could get me labelled as ... euh... anti ... oh well, you know, that word .... :warning

They did .
