And African Jews in Israel are secretly sterilised by the state so that they can’t have children. Leading to a 50% birth rate decline compared to other groups
Reuben spoke to one woman who believed she had been given a flu vaccination and had no idea she had been injected with Depo-Provera.
Another was pregnant with her fifth child when she arrived in the transit camp, where she would live for seven years. The woman in her thirties told Reuben that officials had gathered together all the new mothers in the camp and told them they would be given Depo-Provera as it would be too difficult for them to give birth Israel.
"No, we didn't want to take it, we refused. We said we didn't want it," the unnamed woman recalls in the film. She agreed to the injections only because she was told her immigration to Israel would be blocked and she would receive no further healthcare in the camps if she refused.
"This happened to many, many other women," Reuben said.
Can you please edit your comment to reflect your source on this? For the record, I know the source and it's just straight up factual with Israel outright confirming it happened, but yeah. Just to help prevent some reports. Thanks <3
I think you are missing the point. Jewish people who live outside of Israel can't be beholden to policies set by Israel. Its also important to note that Jewish is both a religion and a race.
Don't let the conflicts in Israel control your treatment of other humans. If we let hate overcome us we could end up with Holocaust type situations (it doesn't even need to be Jewish hate)
Also people who think all all Jews are Israelis. My wife is Canadian Jewish, and she's not very religious or political. I'm Latino and I know more about Israel than she does, but people sometimes try to put Israel's baggage on her or her family because of their ancestry. She considers herself Canadian, and her Jewish heritage is a cultural one, not a location.
You're missing one state solution. That's what's essentially going to happen as things go. They're depopulating gaza with the plan to eventually grant citizenship to the reduced population of Palestinians so they can maintain a jewish majority. West bank alone wouldn't cause a loss in majority, but Gaza would. They won't grant right of return. Though that is genocide.
The mods here on lemmy.world needs to start taking stock of the fact that they give far, far too much leeway to the hasbara flooding this place with their pro-genocide bullcrap.
edit: It's not the meme, nutburgers - it's the comments.
I keep seeing comments littered across lemmy but do you know what I don't see? Reports. So many people complaining about lack of moderation and absolutely no one is helping with that. You are included in that. How do I know that? Because Lemmy mods are able to see who makes the reports. There are none from this thread in general (outside of a couple of people using the report as a complaint button) but also zero reports from you specifically.
If you want active moderation then I might suggest actually bothering to call us. We're not omniscient and omnipresent. We need to be notified. Stop trying to blame moderators here when you are just as fault. We have other shit to do. If you see something, say something. You don't get to complain about mods not removing the comments when you've been supposedly seeing them and not lifting a single finger to point it out.
Edit: This is priceless. I'm looking through the comments and yeah, there are a couple to be removed for sure. But the funny thing is that most of the comments I'm seeing that need to be removed are yours. You have been acting wildly uncivil throughout this thread. There are a couple other comments that need to be removed but no single user in this thread has more problematic comments than you. Now I see why you didn't report anything.
Ok this is a legit question, not trying to troll or bait... Are there African or east Asian jews? Like Jewish communities in Ghana or Thailand for example?
"Jewish" gets used with the loose definition of "people who have been expelled from their homeland."
Judaism is the religion formed by the people who were expelled from Egypt. They left Egypt to settle in Israel and establish Judaism.
Over the years, Christianity and Islam gained a foothold in the region, until the UN shoved the inhabitants of Israel into Palestine.
Arguably, modern Palestinians, who largely practice Islam, are Jews.
This leads me to the question, is the term "antisemitic" specific to Judaism or does it cover other types of Jews?
Depending on the answer, you can call modern Israel antisemitic against Palestinian Jews, who want their homeland back, or at the very least to stop being oppressed in the place that they were exiled to. This would make anyone who supports Israel antisemitic.
Edit: Bonus funfact, there is almost perfect overlap on how "Jew" gets used and how "Gypsy" get used. The key difference is that Jews TEND to move from an origin to a destination. Gypsies TEND to have an era of transience. Some Jews get displaced more than once before they can lay down roots. Some Gypsies get displaced so many times that they just go full on nomad/caravan lifestyle and never really stop moving around.
"Gypsy" and "Jew" don't have hard universally accepted definitions, and both of them are derogatory terms. People who identified with (or who were identified as) either of the 2 were targeted equally during the Holocaust, Gypsies were just more efficient at getting the fuck out before being loaded into the trains.
You should never say "I really got Jewed/Gypped by that guy." Both are EXTREMELY offensive terms, and people got sent to ovens over those words being used on them. The Holocaust was not all about Judaic Jews.
The point still stands. All those categories are social constructs and we morally shouldn't make them dictate our behaviors towards others and we should treat all human beings with respect and dignity regardless of how they look or which group they belong to.
Finally, someone else who gets it. It's so weird that so many people think all Jews came from a single tribe at the edge of the desert. That's not how religions work...
Because it's both? Jews can be both semites (ethnicity) and followers of Judaism (religion). Not all Jewish people are both. To make things more confusing, not all Jews are zionists, and not all Israelis are zionists.
