The cynicism would have been impossible if that proposal had first been made... and not until after the massive protests over stupid olmert's initial and highly insulting compensations.

or they might find out what happens to the elderly who complain. They get infected with pneumonia in hospitals or they are given a lot of prescription medicines they are told are absolutely essential, so that all the chemical toxins in them hasten death. Shoa victims who want more money should move to Germany and try to live in a more costly place to live to learn why Shoa victims there get more compensation. And how about compensation for the families of people who DIED delivering the Shoa victims from the death camps?

What an awful joke. What a disgrace.

Besides the Israeli gov't is just a care-taker for the survivors' money/repatriation...they are not getting any extra benefits from the gov't...it's their money in the first place. Disrespect these valourous & dignified survivors & all humanity is discredited.

Just put your name and where you are from, you coward !!!!!!!!!
