2. go ask Barbra streisand and other rich Jews-kikes to give yy
Adam   (12.13.08)
Those Hollywood jews have plenty of money and can once in their life to contribute to Israel and Jews
3. Bielski Just want to say thank you ....
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO ,   singapore   (12.13.08)
Israel please continue the program.
4. If the Jewish Agency spent less on admin
Sheila ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (12.13.08)
and more on projects they would not have needed to steal from the Victims of Terror Fund to pay salaries and then say they have no money for Aliya. Shame on them - shame on us
5. Sokhnut - Not the brightest buttons on the coat
(12.13.08)
Not the sharpest tools in the shed, etc. etc. When you get a coven of the dumb among the Jews, it's a disaster and as tsipis of a feather flock together, it's a self-perpetuating one.
6. Geoff = backwards
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.14.08)
It's quite the opposite. Israel should be working with Jewish high schools in the diaspora to enable them to deliver a "double diploma" program -- the local and Israeli high school diploma. This would increase diaspora access to Israeli universities and ensure a basic common curriculum throughout the diaspora.
7. No money for education - What a surprise?!
Naftali Lavie   (12.14.08)
When you spend money on tanks and teargas and bullets to be fired at unarmed demonstrators; when you spend money on building a wall to erect a barrier of blood between Arabs and Jews; when you spend money to prosecute corrupt outgoing prime ministers and degenerate former presidents; when you spend money to imprison 11,000 Palestinian prisoners (including resistance fighters, political leaders, administrative detainees, children, women, the elderly, and the sick) instead of freeing prisoners to obtain the freedom of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit -- When your priorities are dictated by militarism and domination, there is no money left for education programs, even for Zionist aliyah-oriented education programs.
8. Much of this was being financed by Las Vegas billionaire
(12.14.08)
Sheldon Adelson until he lost thirteen billion dollars in his worth in one year.
9. Na'aleh
Doug Halperin ,   New York & Jerusalem   (12.14.08)
Hey, Isn't Bileski running for Knesset on a leave from the Agency. Why is he using his position to advance his candidacy?
10. I Sochnut would leave all Russian-Polish non Jews behind
(12.15.08)
may be they could allot some money for the real Jews to come over!
11. #10
Carol ,   Jerusalem   (12.15.08)
Yes please, let's start yet again with the russian bashing.
12. Carol # 11
Yerach ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (12.18.08)
Let's face facts,80 % of the Russians in Israel are not Jews & have absolutely no interest in being Jews & are only here for financial reasons. They do not even learn how to speak Hebrew & insist on being catered to in Russian. Most of us do not want them or need them here.
13. Adelson
JY ,   Israel   (12.18.08)
I read about a year ago that Sheldon Adelson was worth about 53 billion dollars. If this is true, he still has money left over!!
