@Bulaba Jones
It has come to my attention that you repeat the slanders against Israel of other posters here on PoFo, like
As I had a minute to spare, I looked it up:

As you can read, there was no sterilisation at all.
So your outburst about sterilisation was hopefully just a hyperbole.

If Hitler knew that the Jews in Israel would be sterilizing mass numbers of people based on race in the 2010s and get away with it, his mustache would literally be spinning if it still existed in his grave if that existed too.

Birth control
According to a TV program in 2012, female Ethiopian immigrants may have been given the Depo-Provera birth control drug without full explanation of its effects,[58] although the Israeli health ministry has instructed all health maintenance organizations not to use the treatment unless patients understand the ramifications. Ethiopian Jewish women awaiting aliyah were given birth control while in transit camps. The drug has existed for around thirty years but only about five percent of women elect to use this method of birth control in the US.[59] The effects of Depo-Provera last for three months.
The practice was first reported in 2010 by Isha le'Isha (Hebrew: woman to woman), an Israeli women’s rights organization. Hedva Eyal, the report's author, stated: "We believe it is a method of reducing the number of births in a community that is black and mostly poor." [60] Haaretz criticized the coverage,[61] alleging that there was no plan to deliberately reduce the birth rates of Ethiopian Jews, and there was no evidence of coercion.
