Here's how it adds up for me. Radiation treatments for ringworm started in the US in the 30s. By the 50s the US knew about the damaging effects. They gave radiation machines to Israel to do their own treatments. It's like pouring gasoline on a fire. Of course they knew what they were doing. And, we have to answer the question, who paid for all of those expensive treatments? Hum??
"As long as the allegation of American sponsored medical experiments were performed on children is not refuted..."
How convenient that the perpetrators can blame the Americans. Eugenic experimentation and programs are part and parcel to the racist culture of Israel.
Nircheek…What do you mean “there were few Ashkenazi Jews ( in) Israel at that time”? In 1950, the time of the x-rays, there were approximately 1.25 million Jews in Israel. About 50% of them were Jews from Europe; the rest were Arab Jews whose children were the victims of the X rays.

I think that for european Jews fighting with ringworm was the matter of must. All the effort was made to wipe out that deasease from entire population. It was necessary to undermine antisemitic connotation "ringworm and jews". In Europe before WWII these two words were put together much too often. And so it occured that the actual cure was much worse than the disease!
The most important question is this: Is it true that the treatments were only given to Sephardic children and not Ashkenazi ones, that the children were, as opme claimed, separated at school as such for treatment? That answer is all we have to know.
The answer is : yes, they did. Discrimination against North African Jewry was rampant at the time and experiments such as these (along the lines of Mengele in Nazi Germany) attested to their second-class status among Jews in Israel. To my knowledge, there were few if any Ashkenazi immigrants at that time to Israel other than Romanian Jews, and there is no documented evidence of any dangerous experiments against them, to the best of my knowledge.
@BarringtonJames1940 Thank you because I have met and lived next door to some of those people in Israel and I can tell you I never EVER met a straight up Ashkneazi Jew that was a victim of this.
כל כך ברור העלימו את התיקים ואת הפרשיה העלובה והמזעזעת של נסויים בבני אדם בעיקר של חסרי אונים שלא הבינו את השפה האירופאית הקרה.
