I always heard it was sterilization but ill try to find out more. If it was forced birth control, without the victims knowing, it is pretty bad still though.

Oh definitely. Its worth doing some research. I did a rudimentary google search before responding to your post and it sent me down a rabbit hole where its hard to know whats true and isnt. The official line seems to be one of these victims were in a processing camp and the plan was for it to be consensual to avoid pregnancies during their processing but due to a lack of translators a lot of people took it without realising 100% what they were signing up for. The other side is Israel purposefully gave them the contraceptive to stop them being able to have kids but if that was the case why accept so many Ethiopians in the first place and why use such an inefficient method for doing so. I try not to let my pre existing biases affect my critical thinking but its hard when everything you read is biased in one direction or the other to know the full picture. In this particular case I feel like it was an admin fuck up with translators rather than intentional for the points I raised above about Ethiopian birth rates in Israel but I honestly wouldnt rule anything off the table.
