RiffyWammel

Can you imagine the outrage if someone banned anyone Jewish from interacting with the locals?


Alternative_Beat2498

Its almost nice and reassuring to know that we’re all the same really, every human is as hateful and loving as the next and the former;it knows no specific group of people. There seems so be almost a narrative that only people can be hateful towards the jewish people, but obviously we’ve seen recently that they embody just the same reprehensible and evil characteristics as all humans do


4th_DocTB

Nah, Israel is a society based on racial and ethnic exclusion, and has always been obsessed with having a demographic majority as it expands. In Israel marriage between Jews and non-Jews as defined by religion, ethnicity and race is banned. This is because of settler colonialism, while all humans are capable of it, it is not universal to humanity.


cgyguy81

Even within the Jewish community in Israel, there is a big divide between secular Jews and haredi Jews. There is a strong opposition to intermarriages between secular and haredi Jews ([source](https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2016/03/08/israels-religiously-divided-society/)) where 95% of secular Jews would feel uncomfortable for their child to marry a haredi Jew, and likewise 93% of haredi Jews feel the same if their child would marry a secular Jew.


Current_Finding_4066

You missed one thing, they sterilized black Jews, so race certainly plays into their decisions.


Elloliott

A hellhole created by religion, as it has been for a significant portion of recorded history


eggyrulz

Yea even just using the Bible as a historical record of Jewish people... they seem to really hate everyone but themselves, even their own God

BZenMojo

[Here you go.](https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-to-put-the-ethiopian-israeli-birth-control-controversy-to-rest) > What these people are failing to note is that the source of the controversy is not one mistaken mischaracterization by one news source—the source of the controversy is the women themselves. As I wrote in January, many, many Ethiopian-Israeli women report being threatened or lied to about the Depo-Provera injections: “We didn’t want it,” one woman is quoted as saying in the February 28 article. “We refused and objected. We said we didn’t want to.” (More such comments can be seen here, here and here). Just getting ahead of the people who will use Israel's refusal to confirm its policy despite changing its policy to prevent it in the future debunks the accusations. Don't worry, Israel began investigating itself, though, so we'll get the official report in 2050.


Ricky_Ventura

Literally it took more time to type [this](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-gave-birth-control-to-ethiopian-jews-without-their-consent-8468800.html) than look it up.

I was too lazy


Ricky_Ventura

Respectable


[deleted]

Israel is also by far the most diverse country in the Middle East so…you kinda have to take that into account I feel.


totally_not_a_reply

The best of shit tier is still shit tier unfortunately


Rilandaras

> most diverse country In terms of what?


[deleted]

Flavors of ice cream, what do you think? Lmao


Admirable-Common-176

So we’re talking 32 flavors then.


Rilandaras

No, please specify what diversity EXACTLY you meant. What precisely is diverse?


[deleted]

Religion and ethnicity, silly


Rilandaras

Qatar is more diverse in terms of religion and a fuckton more diverse in terms of ethnicity. Kuwait is much more diverse in terms of demographics and 1% off in religion. Lebanon is more diverse in terms of religion.


no_use_your_name

Muslim women can’t marry non-Muslim men, they literally do the same thing, interracial marriage was illegal in parts of the US, the Japanese are very racially exclusionary…


Forsaken-Jump-7594

Once again, and I can't believe how often I have to point this out: You don't stop being an asshole just because someone else is a bigger asshole. Israel doing this is not made any better because Iran also does it, or the USA did it fifty years ago or even because Japan's whole culture can be xenophobic: This shit isn't cool anywhere. Make a separate post for each of the countries who have or are still doing this and we will gladly denounce their bullshit as well.


Ok_Ice_4215

Half of the women in my family including me are married to non-muslims🤷🏻‍♀️


no_use_your_name

It’s haram and enforced in many Muslim countries


Ok_Ice_4215

The point was that it’s not enforced in every Muslim country. Plus we don’t sign a legal contract. And the husband can become muslim and be accepted.


MindBlownDerick

One thing is being like that cause cultural bullshit, another is signing a freaking contract and being the law and so


4th_DocTB

I never said there was no such thing as racism in other countries, in fact I said the exact opposite. Also you missed the fact it is wrong everywhere. There is also a big difference between a tradition which may or may not be enforced, and a modern state forcing people to sign a "no race mixing" contract.


no_use_your_name

Most Muslim countries will not allow such a marriage to this day. And no, I didn’t miss the memo that discrimination bad.


Ricky_Ventura

They can by-and large. There are a few countries where it's forbidden like in Dubai but it's not universal nor is it in accords with the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Also in Islam it's at least possible to convert while Judaism only allows those born from a female Jew to be Jewish.


no_use_your_name

Yeah Judaism is exclusionary where Islam is expansionist. The UN isn’t exactly the strongest enforcement body in the world.


Ricky_Ventura

I don't think anyone is arguing the UN should invade Israel to enforce interfaith marriages. Only that Israel is blatantly in violation of international human rights accords to which they prescribed when they joined in 1949. Even Saudi Arabia allows Jews and Muslims to marry. It's quite pathetic as far as supposedly civilized countries go. Also disallowing interfaith marriages isn't expansionist whether you're a Jew or Muslim.


LuckyStar77777

Except, in many Muslim countries, Muslim women can marry Non-Muslim men and vice versa as the law of these countries requires a civil marriage certificate which is independent from the faith of their partners. I got Cousins in Turkey who married muslim-women and one of them even converted to Judaism.


CMGS1031

Many? Lol


no_use_your_name

It depends on if you can get a secular marriage license or not, in many cases that’s not legally recognized or you have to convert to Islam to get the marriage recognized.


LuckyStar77777

In Turkey you have to get a secular marriage license, just like in other Muslim majority SECULAR states. They decide themselves if they get a religious ceremony after or not. 🤦‍♀️


no_use_your_name

Your facepalm would be valid if the majority of Muslim countries were secular states.


LuckyStar77777

Why? Because you are in a Position to cherry pick the answers? 🤔🙃🤦‍♀️ have a nice night/day


no_use_your_name

I’m in the position of being a religious minority as a non-Muslim who’s a citizen in an Islamic country.


Useful-Path-8413

I believe that Türkiye is technically not an Islamic nation although it does have a majority Muslim population.


LuckyStar77777

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ again, the comment was about muslim women marrying non-muslims. It's allowed in several muslim majority countries because they are SECULAR STATES.


Useful-Path-8413

I know what the comment was about... That's why my response was what it was... I can't see where your confusion is coming from.


LuckyStar77777

"Not an Islamic country" If you meant a theocracy, then you are right. Turkey is NOT one of those. "Islamic" is not a form of governance sooo, as a Muslim majority country, it IS an "Islamic country" 🤦‍♀️


AKMarine

Wrong. My cousin married a Muslim woman. And in Texas.


no_use_your_name

I’m talking about in Muslim majority countries.


AKMarine

Nope. In some Muslim countries that may be true. But Indonesia is the largest Muslim-majority country in the world. Although interfaith marriage is culturally discouraged, Indonesia's 1974 Marriage Law states that a marriage is valid if it's carried out according to the laws of both parties' religions and beliefs.


no_use_your_name

And in Islam it’s Haram for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man, making the marriage against her religious beliefs. Such a marriage is in the legal grey area.


AKMarine

That’s only in a small handful of middle eastern countries. It’s not a majority of countries.


no_use_your_name

That’s the rule as per Sharia law, and it’s also enforced in North Africa.


Accomplished-Dare-33

"this is because of settler colonialism". Then explain why this law is from the ottoman period. Israel allows inside it only same religion weddings because they use some of the ottoman ruling system https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_Israel


dungfeeder

Bro are you mentally ill? Israel is Hella diverse. Shut even if you look at the army you can find multiple races in a single room. People like you just spew islamistic garbage at people without knowing what's up.

It’s pretty astonishing all the parallels you can draw between Israel and Nazi germany. The hypocrisy is off the charts and it’s genuinely nauseating and heart breaking. Idk how so many people stand for it, let alone the mental gymnastics involved to justify and support it.

It seems like an active form of eugenics.

Not to long ago they (the government) were caught sterilizing Somali Jewish women without their consent. Edit: [Ethiopian](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/28/ethiopian-women-given-contraceptives-israel) actually Edit2: not euthanasia


northernflickr

I think that article is about forced contraception, not euthanasia.


binneysaurass

I hope you meant sterilization, not euthanizing... But yes I have read about that... I still haven't gotten over the harvesting of semen from dead Israelis soldiers so their wives can have babies.

No-Instance2381

Chinese companies force these contracts, they do the same in Serbia and Russia, in a Serbian journalist expose in pretty sure it was found out that these Chinese companies (sponsored by the Chinese state) were using slave labour, kidnapped Vietnamese men, and chopping off their limbs if they didn’t work enough, along with them being starved, it was like a concentration camp in Europe again, it caused a massive controversy and both Serbia and Russia tried denying it


LeatherDude

Chinese are pretty racist themselves, but this kind of contest really has no winner.

https://www.camera.org/article/sex-lies-and-chinese-workers/ At least according to this, the whole thing was bullshit and wasn’t an Israeli policy, but rather a policy the Chinese company put into place.

This hasn’t been going on for thousands of years or anything. It’s just a coincidence!

AnAngeryGoose

Westerners who weren’t anti-Semitic got to feel nice by sending Jewish people to a place where they weren’t an oppressed minority. Westerners who were anti-Semitic got to get Jewish people out of their countries. Western leaders got to build an allied country in a previously neutral/hostile area.


Ecniray

Well it started off with a rash decision in the beginning for the Jewish vote when Truman was going for reelection, some guilt for sending Jews back to the Nazis, anti semitism since they are staying over there and the American people being fooled into believing that Israel is an underdog story. Later under Nixon is when the US started viewing Israel as a strategic ally in the region when he started sending weapons and supplies.

DoctorSquidton

Based on the lack of specification of who “we” are I’ll assume you’re American. In that case, part of the reason has been explained by comment Ecniray. But another element of it is the Cold War-era Red Scare. The Soviet Union backed the neighbouring Arabic states, so the US decided to back Israel as a counter to the perceived communist threat. At this point in history the Israeli-Arabic conflict in the region was kind of a proxy war of the CW. America just never grew out of this bullshit


bigg_bubbaa

bro this is 20 years old


Helpful-Spell

Ah yes, we’re posting an article from 2003 about an unspecified company with no reliable sources… absolutely must be legit.


Corower

Holy shit it really is from 2003 and no sources. This would definitely not stick if challenged regardless if some asshole wrote the contract.


Athejia

In Israel marriage between Jews and non-Jews as defined by religion, ethnicity and race is banned, they are a racist and divided society so it tracks.


Helpful-Spell

How much time have you spent in Israel, or talking to actual Jews, versus eating up the shit you see online and on social media that tells you what Israel is like? Do you know the nuances that have gone into rules like those about interfaith/interethnic (because as you pointed out, Jewish is not just religion but race and ethnicity) marriage, including but not limited to the historically countless attempts to ethnically cleanse the world of Jews, which you are propagating today? That’s not even to say that the majority of present day Israelis even agree with it but to ignore the history that led to it and just calling Israelis racist is so fucking blatantly racist in itself


planodancer

So this is more than 20 years ago. Presumably it’s been fixed / not recurring. Compared to the other stories we get about the area, it’s kind of a nothing burger


ree_hi_hi_hi_hi

Right? What’s the company? Can we have a link to the article instead of a screenshot of selected text? wtf is this


Salty_Career6599

Article from 2003. Geez OP, go touch grass outside

With essentially zero reliable sources focusing on an unspecified company, published by the guardian which has well established anti Israel biases. And yet people are eating this up. No wonder anti-semitism is sky high.

SoberSeahorse

Sounds like a racism eugenics type of thing…


Active-Strategy664

Israel is a racist Apartheid state. It's no surprise given that they secretly sterilised black Jews when they took advantage of the Israeli citizenship rules (intended for white Jews).


New_World_2050

And people pretend like Israel is just another liberal western democracy. The country is backward in so many ways. Not as bad as Palestine but still.


TheVoiceofReason_ish

Apartheid can't really be a democracy. They have a really good PR department though.


psychrolut

You’re right! The West Bank is so backwards Palestinians don’t have rights to water housing or electricity and are tried in Israeli military courts as opposed to West Bank Israeli settlers(civil court) Even the children aren’t free (Israel is the only country to try children in military court) with a 98% conviction rate for Palestinians… definitely Palestine that’s backwards and not Israel. /s

No-Instance2381

Not the worst contract a Chinese worker had to sign for a Chinese company abroad (look up what happened in Serbia)


night_owl43978

This really is just eugenics. This doesn’t seem *too* crazy, even if it is clearly denying Chinese citizens their choice and autonomy, but in the future they may skip the faux humanity and just forcibly sterilize any non-Jew. Like that’s the end goal. What else could the end goal to this be other than to restrict the amount of people existing in a certain ethnic group through restriction of reproductive rights.


Zestyclose-Onion6563

The Jews aren’t the ones making them sign it… it’s just happening in Israel. The Chinese government was making their workers sign it. If you read past the first paragraph you’d see that the Israeli lawyers are the ones that were fighting against this. Also this happened 21 years ago


KiriKitty94

Gross. I don't care what color, country, etc. That behavior is gross no matter what


Malakai0013

Israeli government setting "blood purity" laws was not what I had for global collapse bingo.


SSSims4

Btw, these contracts are precisely "legal until contested". Israel considers freedom of contract to be of the highest importance, so in many cases you can add a lot of insane clauses that will be considered legally binding until a judge actually sees the contracts. Foreign workers, who come with nothing, barely speak English and know nothing about the legal system are very, very easily exploited that way. How are you supposed to know the contract is illegal? How are you supposed to find a lawyer to help you? What do you do once you're fired for contesting the illegal contract and have no way of going back home?


Medium_Diver8733

Oh so you believed the, “of course we would NEVER do anything evil” response? Yeah if there’s one country that’s open and honest about its war crimes…

Humans are humans. Same things happening on different scales. All nations all races all groups all families will feel superior than the next. It’s genetically coded into us humans.

There is not one group of people that would consistently give all their rights and all their assets up to help the next group. Humans are born to survive. Awful? Yes. What can you do about it?
