"Israel pulls scorned Holocaust survivor stipend" Why should Israel pay anything at all when all you have to do is sue Germany. It seems like everybody is getting in on the act now. This could go on for generations. "More than 60 years after the end of the Second World War, the children of Holocaust survivors have filed a fresh lawsuit demanding compensation from the German government." "Germany has paid out more than $60 billion to concentration camp survivors, families of the victims and to the state of Israel since the 1950s. There is concern though that success with this latest class action could open the door to a never ending run of law suits against it. The man behind this latest move is Gideon Fisher, an Israeli lawyer, who represents around 4,000 people. He wants Germany to pay for help for all the victims for three years – with no extra damages. Fisher believes that the Holocaust is not part of the Jewish peoples' past but rather part of their present. "The Holocaust is still here kicking and when you look and talk and hear the stories of the second generation, you actually feel that it is still here. You know the Germans are with the final solution, maybe this is the final generation that has to suffer from the final solution." english.aljazeera.net
