Yeah, I’ve heard reports from a person who is part of the Palestinian diaspora who took a genetic test and was unaware that the company they did it with was Israeli. They got back results stating that they were approximately 50% in a broad Arab category.
They redid their genetic test with a non-Israeli company and got a much more accurate Levantine result.
Make of that whatever you will. Maybe there’s differences in how they analyse the data but I would be wholly unsurprised if an Israeli genetic testing company was making a concerted effort to erase Palestinian identity by fudging results to skew the interpretation.
for me, it’s giving the same vibes as the military running ads on hasan’s twitch stream. that’s just a donation at that point, you don’t really have to worry about hakim’s audience being susceptible to this i think.
He didn’t know it was an Israeli company and apologized in the comments

I had no idea, I’ll cancel the planned integrations. The contact person that gets these ad integrations knows I don’t accept Israeli sponsors, so I assumed they checked. I’ll be sure to talk to them too, thanks for letting me know!

That’s funny because dna tests are banned in isntreal
“I’m 90% Brooklynite, wtf!?”
Need money to live ig. Probably the only company that wanted to sponsor a video this bold. Unfortunate that it’s israeli though…
Would be hilarious if they weren’t told what kind of video the sponsor section would be in. Doubt any of Hakim’s viewers will click on that.
It is a pretty good bit

If you’re actually seeing sponsor spots on YouTube that’s kinda a you problem

That’s all true, but I don’t even consider adblocking to be high level power user stuff so much as basic bare minimum usability.

He says in the comments that he didn’t know and will adress this.
