Is Israel the only beneficiary of the Holocaust?

Question

I think the only people benefited from the Holocaust are the Israeli Jews. Iran should’ve hosted a conference and called it “Israel, the only beneficiary of the Holocaust” instead of the one about the myth of the holocaust that it is hosting today. It is a fact that European Jews were rounded up in concentration camps and murdered by the Nazi and that is the reason for European support for the apartheid state in Israel. So the true victims of the holocaust are the non-Jewish citizens of Israel and tha Palestinians in the Weast Bank and Gaza. Only Israeli Jews would know that fact because they see it and impose it everyday. if you are not an Israeli jew but know one please send him\her this questioan.

I just want you to know that I am from Haifa so you can’t call me anti-Semitic and I am not a Jew so you can’t call me a self hating Jew.

People who support Israel and can’t defend it racist policies tend to use insult and name calling as a way of running away from debating the issues and answering the question.

Answer 1

the whole world know there was a holocaust . everyone is very upset with this conference it want make any difference in the way Israel do business nor will it remove the Israelis state out from the middle east.just more propaganda from Iran they are looking for a war with Israel how much more can they take from this idiot from Iranian president

Answer 2

Your logic is impecable (sarcastic).

You are from Haifa so you can't be anti semetic?

By what criteria?

The truth of the matter is that European support of Israel has always been weak compared to other countries such as the US, which does not suffer from this alleged "guilt over the Holocaust".

It is a standard meme of anti Israel bigots to say that the only reason why Israel exists is due to Holocaust guilt. They find it inconcievable that there may be numerous other reasons why the Jewish state should be supported.

BTE, considering that your own hometown was victim to terrorist attacks, how do you expect Israel to deal with that fact?
And if your "solution" results in more Jews being killed, then shame on you.

Answer 3

Swiss banks benefited

After years of denying that dormant accounts of Holocaust victims even existed, in 1997 Swiss banks produced a list of thousands of people with accounts that had seen no activity since the War. They set up a voluntary fund to aid elderly survivors of the Holocaust, and contributions to the fund quickly mounted to some $200 million. Payments ranging from $500 to $1,200 were sent to more than 100,000 Eastern European Holocaust survivors in November and December 1998, with those in Western Europe receiving disbursements in February 1999.

German business benefited
In July 1998, Volkswagen AG admitted that it had used labor from 15,000 slaves during the war, and announced plans to set up a fund to compensate these workers (many of whom are now dead). Until the announcement, the company had vigorously denied responsibility for using the slave labor, saying that they acted on government orders.

The Israeli Knesset debated whether to accept Holocaust reparations from Germany in January 1952. Menachem Begin was among the members of the opposition who considered the reparations offer blood money. In September, however, German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer signed an agreement that the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany — East Germany never provided any compensation to Holocaust survivors) would provide $715 million in goods and services to the State of Israel as compensation for taking in survivors; $110 million to the Claims Conference for programs to finance the relief, rehabilitation, and resettlement of Jewish Holocaust survivors; and direct reparations to selected individuals over a 12-year period. Germany was once compensating 275,000 survivors. Today, the number is approximately 120,000.

California is home to 15,000 to 20,000 Holocaust survivors, the second-largest such population in the United States. An estimated 6,000 to 8,000 Californians receive reparation or restitution payments. For example, about 1,040 now receive monthly pension benefits that average $350 from the German government. About 40 percent of those who receive reparation or restitution payments live in poverty, according to officials at Bet Tzedek Legal Services, a Los Angeles-based non-profit, nonsectarian law firm that serves the poor, elderly and disabled without regard to race or religion. The transfer or wire fee, which can range from $10 to $40, can be a true burden on recipients, the vast majority of whom are elderly. Today, the average age of a Holocaust survivor exceeds 75, and the survivors are dying at a rate of approximately 10 percent a year.

Answer 4

There were others that benefited from the Holocaust. US and international businesses made a tidy profit from dealing with Hitler. From your comments, you appear to be a anti semitic. I feel sorry for you.

Answer 5

We do know that the Bush family received millions of dollars from investments in the death camps, but losing 12 million people is hardly a benefit. Perhaps you are in the wrong place and the wrong time, you belong in 1930's Germany with your Nazi buddies.
