And the self-righteous Mrs. Barnea makes no mention of the land grabs and the theft of bank accounts belonging to Holocaust victims by Israeli government institutions..
His article reeks with contempt for survivors.. He's also wrong about the origins of the protest . Zev Factor and Noah Flug were working on this public protest for almost four years.
But why should facts matter? Lies are easier.
For years, the Holocaust survivors in Israel have been treated as a blot on Jewish history by a majority of Israelis, except when exploiting the Holocaust politically. Crooks in leadership, like former Finance Minister Hirschon (whose department is the most recalcitrant on funding survivors), can line their pockets with stolen money.
This is a disgrace to the Jewish people the world over. I guess stealing from people and then decades later shoving them into early graves by forcing them to die without dignity is perfectly ok with Mr. Barnea--a prime example of why many American Jews don't want to have anything to do with Israel, and a perfect example of why the old Zionism is dead.
Shame on Mr. Barnea and those who think that the survivors deserve nothing, not even the return of what rightfully belongs to them.
