Genetic ancestry testing is illegal in Israel

https://m.jpost.com/israel-news/want-to-fully-understand-your-family-genealogy-not-without-a-court-order-585230 #Today I Learned “The government uses these measures to protect the public so that insurance companies, private parties, et cetera won't misuse the private information for personal gain, as well as the national implications these tests could hold or affect with Israel being a government recognized Jewish-state.” Interesting 🤔

A lot of places do this, same with paternity testing. It's to prevent break down of society when all the beta males realize that they are raising kids that aren't their own.

“A lot of places” Care to name a few?

Seems France only allows it when ordered by a court for child support proof reasons https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_paternity_testing Interesting, didn't know this was not allowed places

May be they are afraid they will find out a big chunk of their population has european ancestry?

This.

As much as I hate regulation this shit should be illegal. Everyone and their mom creates a record of their PII and DNA then waits for it to be subpoenaed or stolen in an eventual data breach.

Exactly... why would anyone ever give their DNA to a stupid profit driven company. Guaranteed that they will misuse your DNA info, or sell it, or be hacked and have it all stolen along with your name, address, telephone number, credit card, etc (identifying information). You have to part of a really stupid group of people to give your DNA to a greedy worthless profit driven company.

Because they’ll find out most of the ancestry is European

Or from Jersey

I think they fear what if their ancestry is from the middle east

They're afraid of the obvious truth that theyr'e just like everyone else, and are basically from everywhere. Kind of like that white supremacist who found out he was 10% Black (it was from a talk show in the early 2000s, who knows could been scripted).

It's like France making paternity tests illegal in family court. "To protect the family unit"

Untrue. They’re legal when court ordered

Wooosh... Over your head. On your reply. Everything is legal when the state wants to. It's illegal just when you need to prove something for your own benefits.. like in this case Palestinians maybe proving they are more Jewish than some of the Jews living there.

Because Jewish people today not not generically connected to the Jewish people they believed live in Israel long time ago.

There are more mizrahi (arab/levantine) jews in israel today than ashkenazi. Mostly because they were expelled from their original arab countries (yemen, syria, etc) in recent history

I should clarify that not all of the Mizrahi were expelled, though a significant number were. A number of them voluntarily left to Israel after it was established as a state
