      What a weird reply. Average poverty rate in Israel is 16.9%:

      https://www.statista.com/statistics/233910/poverty-rates-in-oecd-countries/

      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):
