Israel admitted giving Ethiopian Jewish immigrants birth-control injections

[nitro]

"After learning that Israel admitted it has been giving Ethiopian Jewish immigrants birth-control injections without their knowledge or consent, I must confess to feeling ashamed of myself as a Jew. While the nation state is not, I believe, synonymous with Judaism or Jewish people in general, its behavior does in many ways reflect on us. From the Independent:..."

We should be doing this with every woman on welfare/food stamps or other government hand out. If they want kids, they can get a job so they can afford them themselves.

I thought that was all done away by Bill Clinton?

What? Welfare or birth control?

Dude, pspr said we should be giving birth control shots to people who cannot afford children. No idea what you're trying to say with the links you posted in regards to what he said, but I agree with him (pspr).

Its funny the left is all about diversity in U.S. but I seriously doubt we will be seeing those same lefitist going after Isreal on this..

Which is about an egregious case of anti diversity I think you will see.

Lets compare the media reaction this to say that cook who used the n word 30 years ago.

I would say the violation by Isreal is abut 10,000 times worse.

I wonder if the media will give it similar or less attention.

That has nothing to do with birth control requirements.

You must be talking about the work requirements. Nevertheless, you need to keep up on the news a little better.

It is a complicated issue, as everything seems to be debated to the minutae these days in Washington:

Obama was simply trying to adapt to the current economic conditions. Clintons plan is correct in a prospering economy. Obamas plan is more concientous in a near depression state. The key is to have both a hammer and a screwdriver in your toolbox when one or the other won't do. Currently we tie other programs to economic indicators. For example, the inflation rate affects other payouts from the government. Why shouldn't the same be for welfare?

That birth control and welfare are tied together is well known and has many correlations. For example the original post in this thread, or:

Except for population issues, no one cares how many children you have if you can pay for them until they can fend for themselves. It is a horrible situation and history will look back and say "these people were desperate."
