1. IF Palis are perpetual Refugees according
rachel ,   home b4 pesach   (03.10.14)
to the UN, then all Jews who were in Europe during the Shoah are perpetual victims. While we are at it, all Jews and Christians "ethnically cleansed" from Arab states/countries after 1948 are also refugees. HEY...How about giving the Jews from the Sinai and Aza refugee status as well. Either it is done or there is a double standard. duh.
2. This is not PR stant... pure love of people...
Miron ,   USA   (03.10.14)
I wonder if they would give the last guy in his last day of life permission to live in Judea or Samaria... of course... crying Mr. Obama... EU... Nobel Prize... the works.
3. How does a person live on $500. or $1000. a month?
Rivkah   (03.10.14)
Do the holocaust survivors live in homes and apartments for sale to housesit until the property sells? Do they band together with several in an apartment so they can pay the rent and have something left to buy food and necessities? Do they live in vehicles? Beats me. These people are geniuses if they can live on $500. or $1000. a month.
4. Why this haste: there're still too many alive?!

It's only right that the Holocaust survivors be allocated money to help them live their lives without economic hardships. The same could be said for people in general. This will serve the Holocaust survivors well to know that the state of Israel has good hearted intentions to ease their burdens in their elderly age and breathe a renewal of life into their aspirations for the total success of Israel in the world today. We hope and pray that these same good hearted intentions can help to increase wages for the IDF, the Foreign Ministry and the doctors and help the citizens the social-economic protestors have represented. By Scriptural accounts, like the national anthem of Israel, the longing for Zion is still a dream for many and the fruition of it all would be the utopia, righteousness and holy. And though the wording for that which is still sought may be ambitious, it's reality and by no means downplaying the accomplishment of initiating legislation of this benefits package for Holocaust survivors. God willing, the Knesset will pass the bill quickly.
