Israeli President Rivlin: "Israel Is Not Compensation for the Holocaust"
(Jerusalem Post) Greer Fay Cashman - President Reuven Rivlin welcomed 130 Christian broadcasters from 30 countries at the President's Residence on Wednesday. Rivlin explained that he was "a seventh generation Jerusalemite," whose forebears arrived in 1809. That his own family and many others came to the Land of Israel well over a century before the Holocaust is proof that Israel was not created as compensation for the outrages of the Holocaust.
