If the state does not assume responsibility then why pay them off ? Oh I forget it is our tax money they are playing with so who cares , when they run out , they will come for more, our ever caring and responsible government.

It's always nice when a government pays a rouge agent's family a million bucks of tax payer money. It's not that bad to get some informants killed. Especially when their already rich. Not to mention he didn't even get killed in the line of duty. He offed himself in prison.

I would contemplate suicide too. if there was ever an example of being kicked when you're down! ohh well, it it weren't for people like Zygier, Israel wouldn't exist! Take my tax money! the family derives compensation and our gratitude!

Here's hoping that the funds will go to the welfare of his children, and those caring for them, only. I often think of the little ones, and pray for their mental and physical welfare. Maybe they've started new lives somewhere, and may they know no further trauma. What they experience(d) even though young, is and was more than enough.

WHY?

Maybe #4 answered you?

The story is bizarre, but just maybe there is a rational explanation. I imagine that Israel has life insurance for agents like Zygier. Probably the Zygier family does not deserve the payout, but if they went to court the state would be required to explain why. 4 million is a small price to pay to prevent further damage to state security.

That money the government has but money to help the Holocaust Survivors and the handicapped just is not there! Next thing Netanyahu will fork out millions to the families of the terrorist on Mavi Marmara! However, when you consider that Hanin Zoabi is still a Member of the Knesset after she aided and abetted those who wanted to kill Israeli soldiers, that show what our Government stands for!
