Yair Shamir: “I feel sorry for the Israelis, who forgot about the Holocaust and emigrated because of the“ Milky ”
“At the train stations, I saw lists of places where Jews were sent to their deaths,” he said in an interview with Yehuda Sharoni, a correspondent for the Maariv newspaper. - I felt sorry for the Israelis, who managed to forget about the Holocaust and emigrated to Germany because of ... prices for "milks"! If someone is ready to sacrifice their Jewishness for this - on health.
I am not entitled to judge such Israelis, but they did not understand the point. Europe is rapidly Islamized. Ignoring what happened in Germany some 60-70 years ago is a monstrous myopia. There are no miracles in the world: to live in your own national state, Israel, you have to pay. ”
To the question whether the visit to Germany did not contradict the spiritual values of his late father, Yitzhak Shamir, Yair Shamir replied: "Friends with whom I was in Berlin, with great difficulty, managed to convince me to go there."
“This is my first visit to Berlin and, most likely, the last. But I don’t want to blame, ”he said. “I am still committed to the expression that existed many years ago:“ We will not forget and do not forgive. ” But I'm not boycotting anyone. Upon returning to Israel, I sighed with relief and told my friends: "What a joy it is to be at home." At the same time, I highly appreciate the efforts that were made in Berlin to perpetuate the memory of the Holocaust. ”
"By order from above, prices will not fall - there are no wonders in the world," he explained. “The ministry should cooperate with both farmers-producers and retail chains, and be creative in solving the problem.”
Yair Shamir believes that urgent measures should be taken to reduce the high cost of living. To this end, he proposes to create an inter-ministerial commission, which will develop appropriate proposals as soon as possible.
. In conclusion, Yair Shamir said: “Life in Israel is dear, it's true. Bombay is much cheaper, but I would not trade Israel for any country in the world, no matter how cheap it is. At the same time, we must deal with the causes of high prices and reduce it. ”
