Wow this is so dumb. Good job Germany you dumb shits.
Read this and then reconsider:

Sounds like Israel should spend less money committing genocide and more money helping victims of it.
I'm sure one third of everyone lives in poverty
What a weird reply. Average poverty rate in Israel is 16.9%:

Almost twice as high points towards significant hardships for Holocaust survivors.
Global average is 46.9%, by the way (but Israel is relatively rich, so it doesn't make sense to compare it to most of the world):

Maybe they should stop all the genocidin' if they want to get out of poverty... can't squeeze money from a stone
