The fuller quote that you conveniently leftout for it to match your sources is:

> if Israel wanted its Arab population on birth control

(emphasis mine)

So, for a start the article is about something completely different.

Secondly the article seems pretty open about the fact that the claims are dubious at best.

ok sure, replace arab with black then. This whole thread is about poor treatment of ethnic minorities, and the point of the comment I replied to is that we wouldn't tolerate forced sterilization of an ethnic minority group from a country like Israel. My response was that Israel has already done this, and we all seemed to tolerate it just fine.

My point is that you respond to one claim with something else while cutting the context and pretending it is the same.

And as I already pointed out the article is pretty clear that there isn't actually convincing evidence, especially not against Israel (it seems to be about a possible rogue NGO or something?)

There seems to be a very obvious bias in your comments. This is a fact accepted by the Israeli government that I have already pointed out to you, but you keep ignoring it.

Here's the bit I responded to.

>Imagine in Donald Trump wanted non-whites to be forced on birth control in the US or if Israel wanted its Arab population on birth control -- there would be uproars and rightly so.

I don't think that questions changes much if you replace "Arab" with any other ethnic minority group in Israel. Black Ethiopians are an ethnic minority group in Israel, and they were given birth control against their will by the state of Israel.

>And as I already pointed out the article is pretty clear that there isn't actually convincing evidence, especially not against Israel (it seems to be about a possible rogue NGO or something?)

Israeli officials admitting they did indeed give them birth control isn't strong evidence against Israel? What about the source below?

I guess it's ok because it is not as if Arabs are being forced on birth control, only Black Jews.

Thank you for emphasizing the key point.
