This is a bold step taken by Israel to help alleviate the suffering of the people of Darfur who are experiencing ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity orchestrated by the notorious genicidary regime of Sudan.

aaron ,   ra'anana   (05.09.07)
7. This gov't claims there's no money for their own citizens,
David E. ,   Jerusalem   (05.09.07)
and no money for those who were so cruelly expelled from their own Jewish homes and no money for Yeshivas. But there's plenty of money for other countries. WHAT A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT!
8. SEND WEAPONS! They need to defend themselves

9. thats so stupid. what for???
mandi ,   israel   (05.09.07)
is it to show to world that we are nice. to hell with that . its an enemy country i cant see logic here.
10. Darfur
Roxy ,   Israel   (05.09.07)
It is good that Israel is doing something about the refugees in Darfur, but it is not enough. Just sending 2 MDs, why not double it and send 4? Why not allow the sicker refugees into Israel for medical treatment, and allow those that want to settle here in the mean time until they can go home and live in peace in their country? I bet the Dafur refugees that would come here would not only be greatful, but would actually benefit our society .
11. we dont want your aids believe me
rashid ,   palistinian   (05.09.07)
we have enough money coming from our muslim brothers to help our brothers in darful believe me saudi oil money and kuwait oil money and the emirate oil money, we arebs are drowning in oil money we never let our muslim brothers down believe me, unless they are african muslims with different colour then we send the janjuid arab sudanese to fight them
12. hypocrisy
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.09.07)
The Foreign Office and Yad Vashem make all the politically correct noises to score points for Israel's battered image on he world scene. And yet we treat the Darfur refugees that have sought refuge in Israel like criminals.
13. ##11 Infidel Muslems are racist
Moses ,   Johannesburg, RSA   (05.09.07)
Israel is doing something good to my fellow black Africans who are oppressed by stupid Muslim Arabs. Thanks very much Israel govenment for a good help your offering to innocent people who are dying daily. Muslem money can not even help the Palestinians, US and EU freeze their aid to PA and it collapsed. Think twice Rashid.
14. Israel/Zionist are primary culprits of Darfur events
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.09.07)
Israel /Zionists should be prosecuted and heavily punished for their part in provocations in darfur.
15. Darfur
Brod ,   USA   (05.09.07)
The Free World should aid Darfur to liberate their country from the tyranny and Butcher of Sudan.
16. What's behind it ?
(05.09.07)
Israel helps mobody free of charge , sure they have something behind ..... is it the water of Nile ... or what ? .... hmmmmmm
17. Donations to DarFur
Ronald Gilerman ,   Brooklyn, NY USA   (05.09.07)
You people must relax about money in the government 5 million dollars is really nothing for Israel but for DarFur it is alot. They need the same help that all of us Jews recieved after the Holocaust and if you believe you were not fairly compenstated look at ISRAEL. So, please have some fairness the Israeli government is right and hopefully in the near future when this conflict is over maybe they will remember that the JEWS donated 5 million dollars. Recently people have been forgeting when JEWS were helping them out.
18. # 11 You just exposed yourself for judgement.
CJ   (05.09.07)
"And on that day he wil say to those goat nations on his left---for I was hungry and you fed me not, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was lonely and you did not comfort me. So depart from me you doers of evil into the lake of fire which burns for all eternity FOR I NEVER KNEW YOU EITHER." Yours is a religion rife with hypocrisy. You only care for yourselves and have no appreciation for anyone or anything else. Even your women are treated as dogs and aren't even considered a full human. You are consumed with hate and believe the lies of your diseased dog of a god allah. In the end, the final war will come down to one thing and one thing only. It will be between YUD HAYV VAV HAYV and his protecting covenant with Israel, and against every other false god and their followers. And on that day of battle that is coming (can't you hear them assembling even now?), you and all of your bravado and boasting will perish like palm trees in a tsunami. One second your'e here, and the next second there will not even be a greasy spot of rememberance of you and your fellow hate mongers. That will be a day when even the whole earth will be cleansed and a great day of rejoicing will take place. So go ahead and spew out your hatred. You truly have fallen into the trap that has been set before you and you were to blind to see it. Truly your days are numbered on this earth.
19. Many nation will be judged for this horrific crime.
jan   (05.09.07)
All nations who sat by and watched this happen and let it continue will be judged for this. From the greatest to the smallest. The UN and it's leaders will also be held personally responsible for this as well. This is akin to what happened to the Jews in the Holocaust. The only difference is this is not happening in the gas chambers. But ethnic cleansing and genocide is taking place right before our eyes. When many Jews were in the concentration camps waiting to die do you think they cared who and what country contributed to their realease? No. But they were truly thankful to the many lives that were shed in trying to free them from that horrific situation they were in. And yet today we have gotten comfortable in our lives and have become caloused in our thinking and in our giving to try to help in this situation. We sleep in our warm beds at night and never give the situation in Dafur another thought. Much like the world did for a while when the Jews were being ahnialated. We cannot and must not let this continue to happen right under our noses. We have backed ourselves into a corner by saying everthing must go through the UN before any action against the horrible muslim regime in Darfur can take place. Can you imagine how alone the people in Rowanda must have felt as they were being eliminated off the face of the earth wondering why no one was coming to help them? Where is the compassion that Hashem has placed in us? The UN has labeled the situation in Darfur as the most severe humanitarian tragedy in the world today. Yet the tragedy that is the most horrific is that we refuse to get involved. Much like the man left in the road to die while other looked on until finally one came and had compassion on him. We cannot call ourselves good Jews or Christians and turn a blind eye to this. We would surely be hypocritical in doing so.
