Its you who is making shit up.The minister did not say that there was an unspoken policy, you are just making shit up again.
I did not say the minister said there was an unspoken policy, that pure Fuji bullshit.
Its you who is making shit up.The minister did not say that there was an unspoken policy, you are just making shit up again.
Your lie was that the minister "confirmed" the policy. When you were challenged on that lie you came back with this "unspoken policy" bullshit which did not come from the minister, it came from an activist named Hedva Eyal, who does not in any way speak for the minister.Its you who is making shit up.
I did not say the minister said there was an unspoken policy, that pure Fuji bullshit.
He confirmed there was an 'unspoken policy' by making a public statement that it should end.Your lie was that the minister "confirmed" the policy.
You can't make this shit up and expect people to call you anything but a fool.He did not confirm that there was an unspoken policy. You can't just make this shit up and expect people to do anything other than call you a liar.
I found an employee of mine was slacking off awhile ago, I told him to shape up and stop slacking off. By telling him to stop slacking off I was not "confirming there was a policy of slacking off"!!!
The article does say that it started in transit camps in Ethiopia, which were aided by Israel, but it doesn't say who started it there, its true. But its also true that Israel took part in the camps.Keep lying troll, you are just making stuff up left right and center.
First of all the article says that it's unknown who did this, whether they were Ethiopians or Israelis. We just don't know. So you sure as hell can't just make up a claim that it was Israel--that's just you engaging in a fantasy and pretending your fantasy is real.
That is a lie, the Israeli minister came out and told health organizations to stop doing this, he did not make a statement about whether or not it was an official policy, according to these reports.Oh, but we do know one thing: The Israeli minister came out and said this was NOT an Israeli government policy.
"I believe there is a deliberate targeting of these women," said Hedva Eyal, project coordinator at a women's rights research group in Haifa.
Ms Eyal and other activists say the birth rate in the Ethiopian community has halved in the past 10 years. Her group is one of six that asked the Israeli health ministry to clarify the use of the drug Depo-Provera among Ethiopians.
In response, the ministry urged gynaecologists "not to renew prescriptions for Depo-Provera for women" of any background if there was concern they might not understand its side effects.
The drug, which is given by injection every three months, is considered by many doctors as a birth-control method of last resort because of problems treating its side effects.
The ministry's response did not indicate whether explicit policy guidelines had been authorised or how long government-funded health facilities have been administering the drug to the Ethiopian women, or to how many.
In 2009, Ms Eyal supervised a study that showed 57 per cent of all Depo-Provera users in Israel were Ethiopian although their community comprised less than 2 per cent of the population.
Medical staff have pressured women to take the contraceptive at Israeli-linked transit centres inside Ethiopia that prepare them for immigration to Israel, according to a report last month by Israel Educational Television.
Eight years ago, the report said, officials at the centres threatened to deny an unspecified number of applicants entry into Israel if they refused the drug.
At the time of the 2009 study, Ms Eyal described the drug's use as part of an "unspoken policy" in Israel that aimed to reduce "the number of births in a community that is black and mostly poor".
Many Ethiopian women appeared unaware of the side-effects associated with Depo-Provera and alternatives to it, such as pill-form contraception, she said.
Allegations of racism have been an issue not only among Ethiopian Jews but also the 60,000 African migrants and asylum seekers in Israel. Dozens of asylum seekers were injured by scores of rioting Israelis in Tel Aviv in May, encouraged by politicians who fanned passions with fiery speeches against illegal Sudanese and Eritreans in the city.
Miri Regev, a politician from the ruling Likud party, told the crowds asylum seekers were a "cancer in our body".
Israel is building a large detention facility in the Negev desert to house Africans, who are routinely denied refugee status despite fleeing war zones and despotism.
Complaints of official discrimination against Ethiopian Jews came to a head in 2006 when it emerged publicly that blood donations from the community had been routinely disposed of for fear of disease. They also complain of discrimination in jobs and education.

There's the lie that you've caught yourself in.If there actually was someone discrimination against them, it was at some local level, not the intention if the government.
You ALWAYS get caught in these kinds of lies, you reallyshould learn to watch yourself.
As you have highlighted, given the wealth of experience and significant roles these individuals have played within the PA, they are most certainly senior figures.So if you read the article you actually learn that it is a paper by some tiny, unimportant study group and guess what...no current Fatah officials are involved:
"Most of the participants behind the initiative are identified with Fatah; a minority are members of other organizations in the PLO. They include Fatah member Radi Jarai, the former deputy director for prisoner affairs; Munir Abushi, the former governor of Salfit; and Prof. Uri Davis from the department of Israel studies at Al Quds University. When asked by Haaretz whether the intention was for “one state of the Palestinian people and members of the Jewish religion and others,” Davis responded that members were still discussing different concepts and definitions, and that he personally supports “one state for two peoples.”
Yeah...a misleading headline.
Sure these clowns are going to change the world.
Gryph you are funnier than ever.
Here is some good coverage that I bet Gryph missed:

Here is what Fatah thinks of your article Gryph:
you are groggy must be holding hands together in make believe land.
You really do hate Abbas don't you?
What a nice way to finish my day.
All that happened in Israel is that their existing treatment automatically continued and nobody took the time to question it or explain it properly.There's the lie that you've caught yourself in.
It happened in transit camps in Ethiopia and then again in Israel with the same people who were given contraceptives against their will.
What kind of prescription is given against the will of anyone?
How can it be local government when it happened in two countries?
Yes, the Israeli policy of chemical sterilization continued from Israeli run transit camps to Israel itself. That is further proof that it was a deliberate policy that resulted in an intended 50% drop in Ethiopian births.All that happened in Israel is that their existing treatment automatically continued and nobody took the time to question it or explain it properly.
You are just lying.Yes, the Israeli policy of chemical sterilization continued from Israeli run transit camps to Israel itself. That is further proof that it was a deliberate policy that resulted in an intended 50% drop in Ethiopian births.
Ok, lets ask a few questions.All that happened in Israel is that their existing treatment automatically continued and nobody took the time to question it or explain it properly.
Sorry, lickspittle. The documentary evidence is unequivocal.You are just lying.
I gather that the illiteracy issues are why the Ethiopian women got poor consultations in Israel and that the medical system should have done a better job coping with that. However there is nothing malicious or discriminatory in that.Ok, lets ask a few questions.
Its clear that the Ethiopian women weren't consulted.
So who told the Israeli doctors to continue this 'treatment' and why didn't they ask the Ethiopian women if they wanted it?
Sorry, lickspittle. The documentary evidence is unequivocal.I gather that the illiteracy issues are why the Ethiopian women got poor consultations in Israel and that the medical system should have done a better job coping with that. However there is nothing malicious or discriminatory in that.
Somebody in Ethiopia started them on these contraceptives for some unknown reason. Maybe a belief that a camp was not a good place to have birth, which would be well intentioned, but clearly failed to properly communicate that. But then the treatment continued ok and perhaps no one intended that.
The real story is that the system did not have proper care to period with literacy challenges.
The rest is unknown.
Most people just want to live in peace and not have to worry about this kind of crap.I don't understand the logic of a one state solution. Surely if you could draw just one lesson from the last 70 years or so, it would be that the Arabs don't want to be dominated by the Jews and the Jews don't want to be dominated by the Arabs. A single state would be victory for one side, not an accepted peace.
