Israel is abusing Diaspora Jewry - Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper

Israel pretends to represent the Jewish people. Its leaders wave the Jewish banner at every opportunity. But the sad truth is that Israel has never been truly worried about the situation of the world’s Jews, about their well-being and their rights. World Jewry interests Israel only to the extent that it serves this country and its interests. Israel sees the Jewish people as a pool of resources for its use: financial and political support and human resources, in the form of immigrants.
The Zionist movement’s selfish attitude toward Diaspora Jews is, of course, hidden beneath the sanctimonious position that there is no future for the Jews outside of Israel. But beyond the factual and historical difficulties with such a position, it is nothing but an excuse to ignore the hardship and troubles of Jews who do not live in Israel.
