If Israel had been around the Holocaust would not have happened

I hear that a lot from Jews; both in and out of Israel.




From the Jerusalem Post:

Newly established “Medal of Light” award aims to shed light on those who work to improve lives of Shoah survivors.

-------- Here is the point which interested me the most:


The foundation’s Kalinsky also said that one of the the aims of the new award was also to raise awareness to the plight of an estimated 207,000 elderly survivors living in Israel, whose living conditions are very bad and whose needs increase as they grow older.


According to the organization, an estimated 50,000 survivors live below the poverty line and close to 35 survivors die each day. Roughly 60 percent of the survivors are immigrants from the former Soviet Union that arrived here during the 1990s and there are still some that are not eligible for certain specific pension funds aimed at helping survivors financially.

And this information is publicized fairly often, that Holecause survivors go hungry, homeless, without proper medical care,
and on and on and on.


The State of Israel is Lucky I guess, soon they will all be dead and they can stop the meger funding they do offer.


Or is that bad for the State of Israel? Will the appointed political hacks who run the government holocaust funds lose their piggy bank?




Here are the facts:
1- Holocaust survivors have been treated pretty shabbily by the State of Israel over the years.
2- Not one Holocaust survivor should ever go hungry or homeless or without medical care in the State of Israel. Ever!
3- Israel has absolutely, barefacedly, hypocritically wrapped itself in the corpses of Jews while turning away from those who survived.
4- Not one shekel should go from the government to any holocaust museum and Israel has no right to hold a holocaust remembrance day until all the survivors are dead or fed.




The private organizations and individuals who are doing what they can are wonderful, but it shouldn't be needed. Israel utilizes the Holocaust at every turn, it is the government's job, it is their responsibility to provide for these survivors. This is why you have a government, to take care of issues affecting society. And since it's founding, Israel has disgustingly and brazenly absolved themselves of this responsibility.
