Cheney: Iraq pullout would hurt Israel :
"We must consider, as well, just what a precipitous withdrawal would
mean to our other efforts in the war on terror, to our interests in
the broader Middle East, and to Israel," the U.S. vice president said
over the weekend to a Republican Jewish Coalition leadership gathering
in Latana, Fla.

Ethiopians Ripped Off in Israel
Immigrants duped into buying uninhabitable homes at exorbitant prices
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/849163.html
Autumn, 1998. Yom Kippur had just ended. Sna'it Braihun had scarcely
recovered from the fast when two people came to her absorption center
apartment near Acre. One was a real estate agent, the other a member
of the Ethiopian immigrant community who served as a middleman and
interpreter. They drove Braihun and her husband, Malik, to a two-story
building in Haifa's Halisa neighborhood, pointed at the stairs leading
to an underground level and told them there were two apartments for
sale there. In the darkness, all the Braihuns could see was a
Jerusalem stone building and a one-bedroom apartment with a single
window. They told them an Ethiopian family would be living in the
second apartment, so they would have neighbors they could talk to.
Then they were driven back to the absorption center and urged to sign
a bill of sale immediately.
The couple received a government mortgage for about $75,000, the
maximum, the majority in the form of a grant. Miraculously, the sum
was exactly the same as the property value set by the assessor of the
Tefahot Bank, which administrates state mortgages for Ethiopian
immigrants. The adjacent apartment, which was slightly larger, was
assessed at the same amount and sold to an immigrant from Ethiopia
using the same method.
