I know Hamas is a thing and I don’t support it, but it really saddens me to see Israelis do things that were done to them just 80 years ago. There’s enough space for all of us on this planet.
See that’s the thing, Israelis by and large aren’t the Jews that survived the Holocaust, most of those folks stayed in Europe or immigrated to the US and Canada.
Ashkenazi Jews in Israel who trace back to an arrival from that period are mostly the folks that handed the Nazis a fat stack to transfer their monetary assets to the banking infrastructure already established by the Zionists in Israel.
Of the Holocaust Survivor families that ended up in Israel, a third live in abject poverty, because again, these were the folks that couldn’t just pay off the Nazis to let them go somewhere else, all of them face language discrimination because Israel banned the official use of historical Jewish languages like Ladino, Yiddish, and Mizrahi, and all of them risk getting slurred at by the non-holocaust-survivor families, specifically calling them Soap which is just one of the most blatantly heinous things I’ve discovered about how one community gets treated by another.
There’s also the Russian Jews who ignore comparisons to the Holocaust and identify more with it being a rightful act of irredentism akin to the war in Ukraine.
I’m not doubting you, but do you have any sources? I’d like to read more.

Imagine those poor government aid workers who want to help all the Holocaust survivors but just can’t figure out who they are because they don’t speak Russian! Must be awful for them!
I don’t understand this comment.
When people come into the country, no one knows if they are holocaust survivors or not.
They need to approach the government about them being holocaust survivors.
And for that, they need to know in the first place that they deserve aid and can get it. Which is very hard when you don’t know the language in the country you’ve come to.
Some of the aid organizations in the article help them exactly with that.
But even if they do, they still remain in poverty and are mistreated. It’s a symptom of what Israel is… When you drop the rights of some people, you don’t stop, you keep dropping the rights of more people.
Here’s a good report on it: https://youtu.be/KMIIxCR2utQ?feature=shared
Mistreated by whom? People in Israel highly respect holocaust survivors.
It’s true that for some of them it’s not enough, especially with the rising costs of living in Israel, that’s definitely an issue which is raised almost every election.
But this is not an issue of “dropping rights”.
This is part of, some corrupt / some just capitalist, policies under Bibi’s governments.
Cutting down budgets for some government offices, while increasing them for some other made up offices for political reasons, cutting down on social services for everyone and directing funds to ultra-orthodox organizations as a part of political agreements, for example.
This corruption is part of the reason there were mass protests in Israel since the current government was elected.
And why more than half of Israel opposes Bibi and his “bloc”.
The video answers your first question. I would recommend watching it.
Have you done that? It only interviews Israelis and you can hear it from the mouths of holocaust survivors themselves.
I’m not talking about rising living costs. I’m talking about holocaust survivors picking leftover fruit from the ground after the grocery stalls close down.

I think the point is simply that there are language barriers that create problems. This is totally believable and is a coordinating issue in any country where there are immigrants who need social services but don’t speak the primary language. Not everything has to be down to all Israelis being bad people and not actually giving a fuck.
Nobody said all Israelis are bad. I’m American so I know all about shitty countries having a lot of good people in them.
