“In Israel, supposedly dozens of individuals seeking to gain citizenship under the country's Law of Return, granting citizenship to all people of Jewish lineage, or marry in an Orthodox Jewish ceremony, have been asked to submit to a genetic test to prove that they are biologically related to their family members of Jewish lineage, and not, say, adopted.”

Isreal has an immigration policy based on genetic testing for racial integrity. It is illegal for an Israeli citizen to undergo genetic testing without a court order, due to fear that the results may invalidate their Jewish heritage. Genetic test results proving the non-Jewishness of Isreali citizens could consequently upend families as they could then be subsequently forcefully deported.
