National Council for the Well Being of Children:
Plundering Children's Allowances is Criminal
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
Following approval of the "economic rescue" plan last week,
Dr. Yitzhak Kadman, chairman of the National Council for the
Well Being of Children, said the plan may save the economy
but would destroy the foundations of Israeli society in the
meantime.
Dr. Kadman says the plan causes unsustainable, unjust,
immoral and disproportionate harm to the weak and the lower
classes. His remarks contradict Finance Ministry slogans
which claim to "distribute the load" of the economic
program.
"The greatest and most unjust harm will be to children and
families with children. The major plunder of children's
allowances is a criminal act with no moral, economic, social
or other basis," said Kadman. "Hatred toward Arabs and
chareidim is no substitute for a social or economic policy.
Israeli society will pay a very heavy price for this
unprecedented social assault."
