I don't see how the comparison could be made in a since to people looking for reparation for slavery of there ancestors
so the jewish people's family from the 1940's don't count as their ancestors?

The heirs of a Jewish family that owned Schocken AG, a German department-store chain seized by the Nazis, were awarded an extra 50 million euros
And the funds will go towards new settlement development projects in the West Bank.

Why were they awarded so much. It's not like they'll ever spend a dime of it.

Not the same, imo. Since LBJ, the tax code has essentially been a tool used for wealth redistribution/reparations. For the most part, that redistributed wealth has been squandered.
On the other hand, you give a Jew a dollar, come back and see him 10 years later, he'll produce that same dollar plus the 3 more he made with it.

I'm talking solely about the business in itself, and the potential revenue in the future from that business. My only argument is that it does not compare to slavery. Its like comparing apples to oranges.

Millions of poor whites in states like Kentucky, West Virginia, Louisiana and Mississippi have benefitted from government milk and cheese policies.

How many soldiers were given reparations for losing their lives to free the jews?

The only real difference is the amount of time which has passed from the Nazis compared to slavery.

First, you need to start with the original enslavers. The tribes in Africa that enslaved them and then sold them to the traders. But, that part of history is overlooked 99% of the time.

Great, now maybe they can pay us reparations for crucifying our lord and savior. Filthy savages.
