Europeans owe these people lifelong healthcare.
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) – An Israeli foundation that provides health care help to elderly Holocaust survivors said Tuesday it will have to cut services to thousands of people on Jan. 15 because of lack of money.
Because the cost of care is increasing but donations remain the same, officials said the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel can no longer afford to provide in-home nursing care and money for glasses and hearing aids.
Dubby Arbel, the foundation’s chief executive, said 20,000 people received short-term services last year, and 15,000 others are on a waiting list.
“I don’t know who will help the Holocaust survivors. I do know that something was torn from my heart today and from the hearts of the Jewish people,” he told a news conference. He said the group needs an additional $10 million to restore the services.
The foundation’s main service, long-term nursing for about 10,000 survivors, will not be disrupted, he said.
Six million Jews were killed by German Nazis and their collaborators during World War II. After the war, many survivors came to Israel. Today about 280,000 live here.
A study this year showed that 40 percent of them live below or just above the poverty line, defined by the government as $400 month per person.
The foundation receives almost all of its budget from the Claims Conference, an international body that distributes German and Austrian reparations to Holocaust survivors. Arbel urged the Claims Conference and the Israeli government to increase funding.
The EU sends the palestinians hundreds of millions, if not billions, to kill Jews, but they won’t pay the full support of the people whose bodies were ruined by their parents’ and grandparents’ actions.
They stole their property and money, came close to killing them all, refused to give them back their property or money–the Swiss are still sitting on a pile of gold stolen from Holocaust victims–and they boycott Israel while they send tons of money to the people who did not suffer in concentration camps or labor camps or in the hundred other ways these people suffered during the years of the Holocaust.
Ten million dollars is chump change compared with the funds they’ve been supplying to the Jew-killers in the PA.
Send the bill to the EU. And tell the EU to pay up and shut up.
They owe these people. The Nazis and their collaborators throughout Europe ruined their lives and health.
