You say you did not know the mortality rate. This is a crucial factor. Do not underestimate the state of the children when they arrived from Yemen, half starved and sick. It is indisputable that many did die.<br />It is one thing to say that there was trafficking in children but it is another to implicate the government and so far there does not seem to be evidence of this.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-23585408573907167722021-02-23T21:45:02.151+00:002021-02-23T21:45:02.151+00:00The 3 gov't commissions had no teeth. There ar...The 3 gov't commissions had no teeth. There are about 6500 missing Yemenite & Mizrahi & Balkan kids, not "50." About two years ago, we attended a lecture by famous radio personality Ya'el Tzadoq at the (Menachem) Begin Center in Jerusalem. It was standing room only, & there was great anger in the audience for the whitewashing of the kidnapping of these children. The most haunting evidence was of a man in Haifa who had some type of position at the docks of the port & for some reason returned after normal hours only to see a lot of light, in the middle of the night, as ambulances & nurses drove up & delivered infants to waiting Zim ships. He was confronted by a fellow employee who told him if he'd breathe a word to anyone about this, he'd never work again! However, he did tell his CHILDREN about the episode because it ate away at his conscience his whole life & they were there to testify. I don't know what the mortality rate for Yemenites was, but that has ZERO to do with graves of Yemenite children that were dug up & found to be empty. Ashkenazi Holocaust survivors were traumatized & were dying like flies at the same time, yet nothing similar happened to them. I personally have two female cousins who doctors said had died, but refused to return their bodies or show us a grave. My brother in-law was also kidnapped, but my father in-law, obm, was unusual in that he was not gullible like most of the Yemenite Jews. He went to Qibbutz 'Ein Shemen & went from place to place calling his son's name until he found him. He'd seen a TRUCK full of Yemenite kids while at the qibbutz. When was the last time you heard about a truck full of Jewish kids being separated from their parents? I once asked him why they didn't try to get the other kids there & he responded that they didn't think it was an organized, systematic kidnapping. They thought it was just some sort of Israeli fashla. Never forget Tzila Levine, a kidnapped Yemenite woman who left Israel from her northern qibbutz. She submitted her DNA to Ramat Gan attorney Ran Tzuberi & he found her match with her mother Marghalith Omessi. The country went into shock, but quickly went into damage control mode by having a DIFFERENT doctor VIOLATE patient privacy & announce they'd (ILLEGALLY) taken Tzila's DNA & run a DIFFERENT test & found that she was UNRELATED to Omessi! It turns out that the 2nd test was a far less accurate type of test, but, of course, most people would never do due diligence to find that out. There's much, MUCH more online. This was a coordinated effort that went beyond just the Labour (Ma'arakh) Party & included, according to speakers at a demonstration in a Jerusalem park in the 1990's former president Navon, Yosef Burg, Miriam Ben-Porath. Rav Porush was one of the speakers & they asked when he publicize the other names, but he was afraid. These evil people never DREAMED that DNA would be a possibility!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-87550341663477032152021-02-23T11:12:22.981+00:002021-02-23T11:12:22.981+00:00I remember Emile you saying that this blog has ign...I remember Emile you saying that this blog has ignored the issue. The figures are correct, of 1000 cases only about 60 are not accounted for. The vast majority of children had died - the mortality rate was 50 percent for Yemenites. There have indeed been three Commissions of inquiry but none found that the authorities ran an adoption racket, and that is why the government feels it does not have to apologise for roque doctors and nurses. The compensation will never be adequate but is an attempt to heal the wounds.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-28372986392393458482021-02-23T10:47:58.552+00:002021-02-23T10:47:58.552+00:00I remember a comment made on this blog a few years...I remember a comment made on this blog a few years ago saying that the disappearance reports were greatly exaggerated and that there has been a thorough investigation by 3 commissions and that there are only about 50 odd (sic.) were involved ( I suppose that makes it alright!!!).<br />I am not sure whether the compensation is adequate and it is not ethical not to issue an apology and even declare who fostered the children. No doubt this is a disgraceful episode in the Ashkenazi establishment and the state of Israel.<br /><br />Emile Cohen Emile Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16521343412051277889noreply@blogger.com
