Israel on Wednesday made public for the first time some 200,000 pages of documents related to the fate of the 1950s missing Yemenite children, something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was meant to “correct the historical injustice” of hiding the fate of the children.
“It is difficult to believe that for almost 70 years, people did not know what happened to their children,” Netanyahu said. “And as difficult as the reality may be, we are not willing for this to continue.”
Netanyahu's comments came at a ceremony in the Prime Minister's Office where a website was launched with the documentation about the children.
The documents are those that three inquiry committees had at their disposal over the years in investigating the case of the missing children – in 1967, 1988, and 1995. From now on, Netanyahu said, “with one touch of the keyboard,” everyone will have access to the documents and can trace what happened to the children.
In June, Netanyahu appointed Tzachi Hanegbi to re-examine the evidence in the three previous inquiries, and in November the cabinet decided to released the classified documents. This decision overturned a 2001 decision to seal the documents until 2071.
During the early days of the state, from 1948 to 1954, hundreds of babies and toddlers of families of Mizrahi descent, mostly from Yemen, mysteriously disappeared during the massive wave of immigration at the time. In the vast majority of cases, parents were told in the hospital that their newborn baby had died, though they never received any official confirmation.
Over the years, families have claimed that their children were in fact kidnapped and given away or sold off to Ashkenazi families.
At the ceremony on Wednesday, Hanabi termed this a “big day to correct a big injustice.”
The reason this is happening now, he said, “is that we feel a moral need to reveal the truth.”

A hint we might find out where all the Obama/Clinton/Kerry migrant children have gone in more recent times?
First I’ve heard about it. Thanks for the heads up.
The drama is completely unnecessary.
The story can be summarized in a sentence or two.
They were either sold or killed and the guilty can be generally identified.
Drama isn’t the issue.
Timing.
This is a first shot in a counter offensive against Obama by Israel. Timing is too coincidental.
Where are the disappearing children? Why is Obama, for that matter, encouraging children to come to the U.S. unaccompanied?
We will see more pieces to the puzzle.
The gloves are off. They are out to nail Kerry and Obama.
Obama f***ed with the wrong Jew.
Kerry supposedly had teenager girlfriends when single and a diplomat. God knows what they’ve got on Obama.
We shall find out soon....
“During the early days of the state, from 1948 to 1954, hundreds of babies and toddlers of families of Mizrahi descent, mostly from Yemen, mysteriously disappeared”
Pretty hard to lay this on Bambi.
Guess what is happening to lots of unaccompanied
kids now crossing the US border...
But why were they killed or kidnapped? I am completely uninformed of this history, so if someone could enlighten me I’d appreciate it.
What?
A quick glance seems to indicate most of the children died and Israeli doctors just were too overwhelmed and underfunded to deal with properly filing paperwork. For another few dozen, they can’t conclude what happened and with at least two they determined they were adopted out to wealthy families that was Ted children.
That was my first thought.
Sounds like Israel’s experimenting with socialism period. Capitalism has worked out much better for them. Maybe that’s why Barry is so mad at them.
Discrimination against Sefardim/Mizrachim by the socialist dreamers from Europe that founded the State of Israel.
Secularists sought to stamp out the communities that held to traditional religious practice.
Israel is socialist in the European model
Any links on Kerry and the teens?
What was the deal when he was recently in some weird bicycle accident in a strange outskirts of Geneva Switzerland?
Excellent!
Thank You!
Don’t worry, they’re about to get an influx of conservatives.
You’re welcome! :)
It was actually posted here by a FR member with family contacts to Kerry. I don’t want to ‘out’ them as they may have been tipsy when commenting - it happens.
Someone PMed me a while back saying Denny Hastert had a buddy that attended gay sex parties with him - John Kasich. Again, can’t out the FR member, but likely true.
The power brokers (people who control the pawn politicians) want compromised individuals. That way they know they’ve got them by the balls.
Really??? I would think it the point and highly fascinating in international politics. I would think it a shot across the bow of some people with the UN vote just happening.
What other secrets could be released that the Mossad has collected over the years? More resolutions are being talked about before Obama leaves office.
Fascinating of all the things they could have chosen to release it has to do with children when "Pizza Gate" is such a "fake" story.
