They outlawed private DNA testing. As the article you linked to points out and explains.

This law was designed to protect the privacy and dignity of individuals and their families from the misuse of genetic information. According to this law, it is illegal to use a direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing kit in Israel, unless you have a court order or a special permission from the Ministry of Health.

The law does not apply to all types of genetic testing

Another possibility is to use a DNA testing service that is authorized by the Israeli Ministry of Health

And there's plenty of research that shows all Jews share a common genetic lineage to other groups in the middle east like Syrians and Lebanese.
One example: Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations share a common pool of Y-chromosome biallelic haplotypes

A solar well went into operation a few days ago in Dêrik in Northern and Eastern Syria. The well in the Şehid Xebat district is a central component of the district's water supply after the infrastructure in large parts of the region was destroyed by air strikes by the Turkish military. The project, funded by the Berlin State Office for Development Cooperation (LEZ), was implemented by the Berlin twin town partnership Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg – Dêrik together with the city administration in Dêrik and the "Make Rojava Green Again" initiative.

At around 4 p.m. on Sunday, hundreds of people began to gather in downtown Beirut, near Martyrs' Square and the Karatina fire station, to commemorate the four years since the explosion at Beirut's port on Aug. 4, 2020. On the placards held up by demonstrators already at the scene were calls for justice for "Beirut and Lebanon."

"It is Hezbollah that is responsible. It is obstructing the course of justice," denounces Nada, who lost her nephew.

Caused by the ignition of large quantities of improperly stored ammonium nitrate, the explosion killed at least 235 people, injured a further 6,500 and devastated entire districts of the Lebanese capital. Ammonium nitrate is a combustible chemical compound commonly used in agriculture as a fertilizer, but can also contribute to the manufacture of explosives.

Speaking with reporters at Majdal Shams, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that forensics showed the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1.

Hezbollah had earlier announced firing a Falaq-1 missile on Saturday, saying it had targeted an Israeli military headquarters.

To weaken France's image, to sow chaos, to get security forces focused on other things while they try to get specific targets.

There have been reports about both Russia and Iran being potentially involved.
So far I've seen an article about a Russian getting arrested 2 days ago.

IDF draft laws only apply to Jews, and male Druze and Circassians.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Israel
Bedouins, etc. serve voluntarily.

And from the Wikipedia page, it seems like it's not all, but a majority that refer to themselves in that way.

How is this "pro-IDF"?
I thought people here aren't pro-Hamas?

This whole week I posted.. 1 article about Hamas. Truly hustling.

[-] Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Plenty of articles like those here.
And plenty of people denying there's any rise in hatred and violence towards Jews.

A politician who got the 36th position in the Likud list 10 years ago.
The party he founded after that didn't get even 1 mandate.

Hamas was the government of Gaza. You couldn't get anything in there without it getting through Hamas anyway.
They sure managed to get a lot of weapons and rockets in there, and enough building materials for massive underground tunnels.

And your dear Al-Jazeera has an article from 2017 that says Qatari money actually did help Gaza Analysts: Qatar supports Gaza not Hamas
Are they also Zionist propaganda now?

[-] Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 months ago

Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It wasn't "invented" by Israel. And Israel didn't fund them, but it's true that Bibi let Qatar money reach Hamas when he could've blocked it.
The belief among some of the ones who supported that, was that better conditions of life in Gaza would prevent them from going to another war - An article about it from 2015

other than the 834 executions last year of protesters / dissidents and general killings of protesters, here's 1 known killing of an iranian journalist.
there's also the other attempts to kill iranian journalists abroad, but fortunately they're incompetent.

"To a lesser extent, China and Iran also peddle disinfo in hopes of influencing voters."

"As an example, social media posts by sock puppet agents of the Chinese Communist Party promoted former President Donald Trump and criticized Biden."
