ERUSALEM — Israeli Holocaust survivors asked Germany's finance minister Thursday to improve a reparations arrangement set up a half-century ago, but he said no additional money would be paid.

Survivors reasoned the original 1952 accord with Israel did not account for their unexpected longevity or apply to tens of thousands of Holocaust victims who came to Israel following the Soviet Union's collapse.

Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck rejected the appeal, said Zeev Factor, a Holocaust survivor who took part in the meeting.

"He said Germany reached an agreement with Israel on this matter ... and isn't willing to touch the agreement," Factor said.

What's that I see descending... wow, are those testicles dropping on the German people? Now if they would just stop reparations altogether, German might be an honorable nation again.
