1. To the responsible
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.04.16)
What goes around comes around.
2. Settlements are more important
(05.04.16)
3. They don't have a parties
Avi L.   (05.04.16)
They don't have a parties like haredim, they don't build madrassas to spawn more of them, they don't blackmail government, they don't have convicted felons as ministers, who "are innocent" (hou zakai). Of course telephone companies are making cheap marketing offering them "discount" on internet connections when they can't even afford food. While MP are fattening.
4. Re -settlements
Stevie Wonder ,   USA   (05.05.16)
Early Zionists realized that to build a new country would require some pragmatic, although somewhat cruel decisions. Only the young and healthy were initially accepted as settlers. The objective was to create a state by investing all profits (gains) in further growth of a modern infrastructure, agriculture, and manufacturing without the cost of supporting a prior generation. I worked. I think Israel's leadership has chosen to invest much of the reparations collected in other projects, including the settlements. Again pragmatic but troubling.
5. Holocaust survivors are not poor. They are rich in eternal
Rivkah   (05.05.16)
rewards in haShem's kingdom, having been partakers of the sacrifice of souls that let to the re-establishment of the nation of Israel. Before haShem gives much, he expects much. There was a slaughter of Hebrew boy babies before Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt. There is a holocaust before the nation of Israel was formed. There will be another greater holocaust before the Jewish Messiah Yeshua sets up His Millennium (thousand year) kingdom. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes. The holocaust survivors are rich in wisdom and in sufferings that refine the people of haShem like a furnace refines gold and takes away the dross until only pure gold is left. There are riches in haShem's kingdom for each number tattoo of the holocaust survivors, a special place in haShem's kingdom for eternity for those who were and are Jews in their hearts which includes the grafted on Gentile branch who became Jews in their hearts.
6. Berlin 50 Millions for cement!
Karl ,   Berlin   (05.05.16)
The Holoaust Memorial in Berlin had cost more than 50 Million Euros+the ground was worth 40 Mil. Euros+it cost 2,1 Mil Euros per year. Nazis,Muslims and Antisemites make fun photos infront of it or piss on puke on it...what a great Memorial! Also a company made money with it whos company daughter made the GAS Zyklon B for Auschwitz! also after 3 years the memorial cement began to split... Is this known in Israel? I always wondered why they made it so big and expensive when survivors has no money for medicine...
7. where are all those money from Germany
Jew ,   Europe   (05.05.16)
Almost all holocaust survivors receive compensation from Germany from monthly 500 dollars plus medicine, medical care, dentist , social nurses and more.. it doesn't depend on the government , it is going through the clams conference agency directly to their account. in whole world, so they have more then 500 to 1000 dollars monthly than all other pensions... how it is possible they are still poor? there are millions of dollars going for the holocaust survivors every year!
8. #7 if you had actually read the article . . .
nibor ,   israel   (05.05.16)
you would see that many of those poor survivors did not come from Germany and do not receive compensation. You would have read that many come from Northern Africa, and that those who came after 1953 from Germany were not entitled to receive payments. There were those from Russia who get nothing. Germany was not the only place Holocaust survivors came from.
