      The ones in poverty are mostly ones who came later on in the 1990’s from former Soviet Union, and usually didn’t or couldn’t contact authorities or know about what they deserve because of the language barrier - As many of them only speak Russian.
      It’s incredibly unfortunate, and almost all Israeli Jews see supporting them and helping them as important.

      Imagine those poor government says 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 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.
