His mother "Livia Eisen, was an air hostess for El Al in the 1950s. "There are reports that she was involved in Operation Magic Carpet, which brought Jews to Israel from Yemen"
"50,000 Yemenite Jews airlifted to Israel in 1949 and 1950 in a series of secret US and British flights known as Operation Magic Carpet. Like many other Mizrahim, they were temporarily sheltered in one of dozens of “absorption camps” across Israel"
"He was not, as he had always assumed, the only son of wealthy Holocaust survivors who owned a baby garments factory near Tel Aviv. Grunbaum had been stolen from his mother by doctors at a hospital in northern Israel in 1956, moments after she gave birth..
His biological parents – recent immigrants to Israel from Tunisia – were told their child had died during delivery. They were sent home without a death certificate and denied the chance to see their baby’s body or a grave.
After weeks of re-examining evidence presented to a commission of inquiry in the late 1990s, Tzachi Hanegbi told Israeli TV: “They took the children and gave them away. I don’t know where.”
"Hanegbi’s admission appears to confirm allegations long made by the families ..that the inquiry was little more than a whitewash by the Israeli establishment. Kedmi placed the hundreds of thousands of documents relating to testimonies and evidence under lock for 70 years
Why were the infants taken from their families? Did hospitals and welfare organisations traffic children in Israel’s early years? ..
When asked by Israeli TV Meet the Press whether government officials were involved, Hanegbi would say only: “We may never know.”
Shoshana Madmoni-Gerber, an Israel academic who wrote "Israeli Media and the Framing of Internal Conflict: The Yemenite Babies Affair", noted that the “forcible transfer” of children from one ethnic group to another satisfied the United Nations definition of “genocide”.
"The mystery has been dubbed the Yemenite Children Affair, because most of the children who disappeared were from Yemen. But there were also significant numbers from Iraq, Morocco, Tunisia and the Balkans."
"“Mizrahi parents were seen as bad, primitive people who were a lost cause. The dominant view was that, by placing the children w/ Ashkenazi families, they could be saved – unlike their parents. They would be re-educated and made into suitable material for the new Zionist state”
“The hospital staff and officials probably didn’t think they were doing something wrong. They thought it was their patriotic duty.”
Phew.. got carried away by that article..
