1. HAMAS Launches Rockets at us and We Launch Bids?
meir elazar   (05.02.11)
No wonder we are having so much problems. We need someone like Sharon who really knew how to launch something effective and offensive - Not just "Bids"
2. what about the assets of the 1 million jews kicked out of ar

arab countries .....
3. Israel says...
Richard   (05.02.11)
... many claims (in Germany) have not been settled... right on... restitution payments have not been paid to the survivors, that is why so many are living in poverty- how about cleaning up your act and get to it before the survivors are all dead. This 'Launching Bids" is just another try to get attention away from internal corruption.
4. HEART Restitution Claims.
Michael ALBERT ,   Holon, Israel   (05.02.11)
From the website I notice, the condition for submission of a claim is,that no prior restitution was received for a property. Hungary launched a law of partial restitution for property in the 1990's. Restitution was given for a very low, 10-15% of the value of a property, acccording to government asessement. This law amounted to the virtual nationalization of real estate, as the valus of real estate has rocketed since the introduction of market economy, and of |Hungary joining the European Union. Remedy of the above injustice will have to be sought in the handling of claims by holocaust survivors and their heirs.
5. What about the jews expeled before WWI from Cossaks?
Rickie ,   Porto Alegre, Brazil   (05.02.11)
Will my family get something? By the way, the village was so transformated that the local inhabitants didn't know that their village jews lived there. When my grandparents left during the 1910's, that area was almost exclusive for jews.
