Holland to Cut Stipends of Holocaust Survivors Living in Settlements
(Jerusalem Post) Holland is slashing stipends by 35% to Holocaust survivors living in Jewish settlements. Colette Avital, head of the Center of Organizations for Holocaust Survivors, told Israel Radio on Monday: "It is surprising and outrageous that the Dutch government, of all countries, chooses to impose sanctions against civilians who endured the Holocaust on its territory and who subsequently chose to move in with their children at an old age. It is hard to accept such harassment of survivors."
