How can anyone be so stupid to believe this? Israel has one of the most advanced medical systems in the world. DNA tests are completely routine.

“Israel has one of the most advanced medical systems in the world” - but they’ve been raping ppl to death in Israeli prisons. Tell me, unknown, is this Israel in the room with us?
"In 2019, The Times of Israel reported that MyHeritage DNA testing kit was not available in Israel, as the country “does not allow private genetic health screening.” Similarly, Ynet news website reported in 2019: “In Israel it is forbidden to sell home kits for DNA testing. One of the leading companies in this market is MyHeritage – an Israeli company, but an Israeli who tries to order such a home kit through its website, will not find a price, or delivery options. This service is blocked for Israelis.” Israel Democracy Institute also reported that the sale of DNA testing home kits is prohibited in Israel, adding that “quite a few Israelis manage to circumvent the ban.” In 2019, Israel’s Ministry of Health confirmed to Ynet that it is impossible to conduct a DNA test in Israel without a court order and that “the law does not allow the sale of such kits in Israel.” However, when asked specifically about the use of ancestry kits for personal curiosity, and not for health reasons, the Ministry staff indicated that they did not recognize this type of application. It also explained that, according to the Genetic Information Law, a DNA test should only be conducted in a recognized and licensed genetic laboratory or genetic institute, and “such a thing cannot exist in kits sold directly to the public.”
