      Yeah, about that and being ok… “Israel gave birth control to Ethiopian Jews without their consent”

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

      • “The drug in question is thought to be Depo-Provera, which is injected every three months and is considered to be a highly effective, long-lasting contraceptive.”

      • "Nearly 100,000 Ethiopian Jews have moved to Israel under the Law of Return since the 1980s, but their Jewishness has been questioned by some rabbis. Last year, the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who also holds the health portfolio, warned that illegal immigrants from Africa “threaten our existence as a Jewish and democratic state”.

      • “The government had previously denied the practice but the Israeli Health Ministry’s director-general has now ordered gynaecologists to stop administering the drugs.”

        It’s a meme, people of different races are going to be depicted. I really don’t give a fuck if that bothers you.

        I was referencing this exactly. But either people didn’t get the reference, or they were in support of this.
