The killing of 10,000 children. Blasts leading to amputation—sometimes carried out without anaesthetics—and lifelong disabilities. Entire populations, including pregnant women and children, facing hunger, a quarter of them (576,600 people) at catastrophic levels, – that means at the risk of starvation and death. Warnings from the UN children’s agency that nearly 335,000 children under five in the Gaza are at “high risk of severe malnutrition and preventable death”. Thousands of children buried under the rubble and presumed dead.
The balance sheet of 100 days of war on Gaza is grim. It is a dark moment in history that we see on our television screens.
“If there is a hell on earth today, its name is northern Gaza,” in the words of one senior UN official.

Candidates for nationalist Alternative for Germany, derided as anti-Semitic, overwhelmingly profess to hold pro-Israel positions, poll shows
But, like many far-right parties in Europe and elsewhere, the AfD presents itself as staunchly supportive of Israel.
According to a wide-ranging poll commissioned by a group promoting German-Israeli relations, most AfD politicians profess to care deeply about Israel’s security, support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state, reject unilaterally recognizing a Palestinian state, and generally support a stronger relationship between Jerusalem and Berlin.
Nearly 90% of the 35 AfD members who were surveyed totally or somewhat support Chancellor Angela Merkel’s dictum that “Israel’s security is Germany’s raison d’etre.” Two said they oppose the statement and two had no opinion.
"The German government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil," Geingob's office said on social media.
"In light of Germany's inability to draw lessons from its horrific history, President Geingob expresses deep concern with the shocking decision communicated by [Germany] ... in which it rejected the morally upright indictment brought forward by South Africa before the ICJ that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza," Geingob's office said.
In the past, the US state department’s annual human rights report indirectly relied on the same ministry’s casualty figures in quoting UN statistics drawn from Palestinian data.
Omar Shakir, the Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch, said he saw no evidence that the numbers were being manipulated.
“We have been monitoring human rights abuses in the Gaza Strip for three decades, including several rounds of hostilities. We’ve generally found the data that comes out of the ministry of health to be reliable,” he said.
The study or practice of attempting to improve the human gene pool by encouraging the reproduction of people considered to have desirable traits and discouraging or preventing the reproduction of people considered to have undesirable traits.
The science of generative or procreative development; the doctrine of progress or evolution, especially in the human race, through improved conditions in the relations of the sexes.
The science of improving stock, whether human or animal.
A social philosophy which advocates the improvement of human hereditary qualities through selective breeding.
The study of methods of improving genetic qualities by selective breeding (especially as applied to human mating).
Also, the link I provided is from genome.gov, there one can find a very interesting Fact Sheet. It's also visible on your screenshot.
Eugenics is several things, including what you mention. Apart from that It looks like you missed my point which was: racist scientists often get in the field of the coding DNA research
I will try using the words of the National Human Genome Research Institute with an example:
Timeline 1994 - The Bell Curve and modern concerns about a resurgence of eugenics
Richard Hernstein and Charles Murray published The Bell Curve which promoted historical eugenic arguments. These authors argued that genetics determined intelligence and social mobility in American society and that genetics caused African American and Europeans Americans to have different IQ scores
Actually the supposed antisemitic thing she did was:
On her Instagram account, the artist has called for solidarity with the Palestinian people, writing on October 21: “Cease fire, open all gates, freedom of movement. Send AID of all manner.”
[I should have added this to the summary. Doing it now.]
To my understanding DNA doesn't work as it is portrayed in mass media. We have coding DNA and non-coding DNA. Scientists had the nerve to call the non-coding DNA "Junk DNA" even tho it consists of 99% of the DNA. This percentage is disputed but it's always a huge percentage. The non-coding DNA has the crucial role to take input from the environment and decides what is going to be coded. In media when they talk about DNA they just talk about coding DNA.
Even tho eugenics is not a department in medical schools anymore, racist scientists often get in the field of the coding DNA research, focusing heritage, undermining in anyway they can the input of the environment, the non-coding DNA.
Both genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), which is an autoimmune disease.
Some diseases are purely genetic, which means a person will get the disease if they inherit one or two copies of a specific gene. MS is not genetic in this way.
The European Union and Israel share a long common history, marked by growing interdependence and cooperation. Both share the same values of democracy, respect for freedom and rule of law and are committed to an open international economic system based on market principles. Over five decades of trade, cultural exchanges, political cooperation and a developed system of agreements have cemented these relations.
The EU is Israel's largest trade market and accounts for about a third of Israel's total trade. In 2020, Israel was ranked the EU's 24th trade partner. The most traded goods are chemicals and related products, machinery and transport equipment, and manufactured goods.
Letter with 842 signatures accuses European Commission of giving ‘a free hand to the acceleration and the legitimacy of a war crime’ in Gaza
Staff members of EU institutions have written to European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen expressing fury over her stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict, in a letter that accumulated 841 signatures.
...
It begins by condemning the Hamas attack on Israel before continuing: “We equally strongly condemn the disproportionate reaction by the Israeli government against 2.3 million Palestinian civilians trapped in the Gaza Strip”.
“We hardly recognise the values of the EU in the seeming indifference demonstrated over the past few days by our Institution toward the ongoing massacre of civilians in the Gaza Strip,” it continues.
“As an EU diplomat I feel embarrassed by the stand taken by the institution in external communications since the start of the crisis,” one wrote.
“We observe the death of diplomacy unfolding in front of our eyes and we do not see any expression or action being taken rooted in the values on which the EU was built.”
“It is surely imperative that the EU uses its influence as a global actor to put pressure on Israel to take the first steps towards a peaceful settlement of this long ongoing conflict, by ending the continuous gross violations of basic human rights and international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territories,” one signatory wrote.
