1. let me hear what some of you have to say
bob ,   potomac md   (08.02.07)
Is it poltically incorrect to call these Egyptians barbarians?
2. and the world yawns...
Myackie ,   Austin, TX   (08.02.07)
they only seem to care when some terrorist is killed by an Israeli. THEN they UN, the media, and seemingly the whole world are outraged. Stupid world.
3. alas, alas
Cameron ,   USA   (08.02.07)
See what happens when you don't carry enough money to cover an on-the-spot bribe.
4. Strong Signal
Nemesis   (08.02.07)
That would deter me from going to Israel..maybe the message will get back..people smugglers are the ones that should be shot on sight..they're making a lot of money providing these people with false hope,then abandoning them at the border.
5. watch how the left milk this...
Dan ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.02.07)
watch how the left milk this and tell us that we should take in thousands more "refugees" as they are treated so badly in Egypt.
6. how do they know they Sudanese?
Julia ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.02.07)
So, these are Africans - how can they possibly know they are Sudanese? They would not be trying to cross our border in the first place if it was clear they were going to be deported anyway. Blame this on those idiots who say that Africans should be allowed into the country ilegally.
7. What idiots we have on the border!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.02.07)
They let the egyptians point their guns at them? This is how we now train our soldiers? They should keep out of this. We do not need sudanese or any other refugees.If we took in a million,the world would still hate us. We have to prepare shelterrs for the next war,train the army,educate the children and now we have to worry about sudanese refugees. Anyone out there ever take in Jewish reugees?
8. egyptians are our peace partner, don't they?
E.S. ,   Montreal, Canada   (08.02.07)
What amaze me is the level of stupidity of the israeli governement and also the level of hypocrisy of many israeli citizens. I remember quite well in the 90s how many of them were allegedly spending their dineros in the Sinai, i.e. sharm el sheikh, arguing that "the egyptians are our peace partner, they like israelis, we're having a great time here, yada yada yada...". Well, looks like the egyptians soldier at least prefer the sudanese refugees to the Israeli tourist.
9. Helping illegal refugees?
Roger Talbot ,   Lompoc, CA, USA   (08.02.07)
What the hell are IDF soldiers doing helping illegal refugees enter Israel? I'll bet some of these soldiers were the same ones who threw Jews out of their homes in Gaza and the Shomron. Why is it that Israeli compassion only extends to goyim and never to Jews?
10. #5- Man, you are only too right
Cameron ,   USA   (08.02.07)
Prepare for a landslide of self-righteous whining & sniveling that would have God himself trembling with guilt.
11. This is part of the plan...
Daniel   (08.02.07)
Make life hard or impossible for Sudanese in Egypt, so that they will stampede into Israel and the dumb Jews will feel obligated to take them in. Jews of Israel, do not fall for this ploy.
12. since when is it okay to beat refugees to death?
rights watcher ,   usa   (08.02.07)
The rest of the world had better speak up about this callous indifference to human life courtesy of the Egyptian army. I want to hear Amnesty Internat'l and Human Rights Watch condemn this depravity NOW!
13. UN should solve this problem
Brod ,   USA   (08.02.07)
The UN should set up an office in Egypt and Israel to solve the Sudanese refugee problem. The UN should relocate them to some safe haven outside the region, train and equip them so that they can liberate their country from the Butcher of Sudan and the Janjaweed.
14. proper border control
rj ,   england   (08.02.07)
at least the sudanese did not get into Israel..isnt that the main objective before we are over run by refugees from sudan...
15. Eygpt
t.i ,   Israel   (08.02.07)
I'm not surprising about the terrible tragedy, Eygptians policemen are very cruel , and they hate Sudaneses because their skin colour, many people has forgotten the occasion before two years ago, sudaneses protests at cairo were shut to death by Egyptian police, even one dog didn't bark yet.
16. message will get back (hopefully)
Sara ,   Givatayim   (08.02.07)
Although this is tragic, hopefully the message will get back to Cairo that its not worth trying to cross our borders, it is dangerous and those that try will be deported anyway. Meanwhile the traffickers, who really are scum, should be hunted down and punished severely by the Egyptian authorities..
17. SHUT SAUDI ARABIA DOWN !
Atilla Liman ,   Karagözoğlu   (08.02.07)
this is unfair. millions people live as modern slaves in world. and look at THE Islamic Faith. IDIOT SAUDI KINGS. they got everything to make world a better place. THEY ALSO GOT QUARAN. BUT THEY DONT READ AND ACT ACCORDING TO THE BOOK. THEY SELL THEIR SOULS. they live like rich maniacs. IF I FAD POWER, I WOULD SHUT SAUDI ARABIA DOWN. TAKE MECCEA FROM THEM. FEAR THEM. MAKE THEM AFRAID. RULE THEM. AND BEAT THE BIG ONES. this is the big photo. WITHOUT REAL ISLAM, WORLD ALWAYS BE IN DIRT. I hate the Saudies. I do. They dont deserve Islam. I HOPE SOME DAY THEY UNDERTAND THAT THEY ARE NOT GOOD FOR ANYTHING. Atilla Liman Karagözoğlu
18. Might be why only Iraqi bathists allowed by Abbas
Steve ,   USA   (08.02.07)
B"H Does not anyone wonder why Abbas is not pushing for the Sudan refugees East of the Green Line? And neither is Olmert. This is not about refugees this importing of 80 enemy Iraqi combatants. Refugees are at Egypt's border dying while Abbas imports enemy combatants east of Israel's green line instead! Where is the UN crying out against Abbas and Egypt?! Or is the UN here a front for Israel bashing?
19. "Refugees" Must Be Returned Under UN Flag
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (08.02.07)
All African migrants, whether economic or otherwise, must be flown back to their respective countries in a UN supervised operation. Israel cannot and should not be taking them. As unfortunate as it is, the influx will never stop as Africa is one of the most dysfunctional continents in the world and these poor people will do anything to escape the misery. Israel is no place for them to be.
20. #6 is correct where they Sudanese
rh ,   Modiin Israel   (08.03.07)
The press reports what is going to give it maximum mialage. They were possibly or even probably Sudanese. In any case it is a despicable story the Egyptian should be court martialed and shot at dawn.
21. Most Terrible !!!
Sharon ,   Israel   (08.03.07)
Number 7 ! If nobody helped us- then we should also act the same... This is disgusting ! We seem to have learned nothing. 4 refugees were murdered - two of whom were beaten to death. Do you get it?! Don't you understand that human beings were beaten to death???Why is the U.N silent?EGYPT SHOULD BE DENOUNCED
22.  That is important news ? BE WORRY ABOUT YOUR PEOPLE !
One Jew   (08.03.07)
Stop worring about sudanese refugeed , be worry about your Jews somewhere in Galut .! They do not know how to come to Israel , there is no one to help them to use Right To Return !!!!!!!
23. were they sudanese? who said that?
jack bauer ,   usa   (08.03.07)
was it weds or thurs dig for the truth ynet before writing another story designed to make Israelis feel guilty
24. Where are HRH, Amnesty, B'tselem, ACRI?
JPS ,   Efrat   (08.03.07)
Innocent refugees killed in cold blood! Where are the "human rights" groups? Where are the protests in front of Egyptian embassies? outside the UN? outside the EU parliament? No doubt HRH and Amnesty will have a sentence or two in their next annual report about this. maybe.
25. ATILLA.........
your friend Adi   (08.03.07)
The article is about S-u-d-a-n-e-s-e not Saudis, sorry..........
26. #9 - Roger - What a great comment!!!
Canadian Otter   (08.03.07)
27. #9 Roger- To this day we read TBs that are downright hateful
Glenn ,   Canada   (08.03.07)
of some Jews by other Jews, particularly against the Yesha people. At other times it's against the ultra-Orthodox. But when it's a matter of non-Jews in distress, oh, how their little Leftist hearts bleed.... As far as the IDF and the police behavior during the expulsions, that is a painful, shameful chapter. Israel will have to go through a period of reconciliation before it can move forward. This issue should never be forgotten. And never ever be repeated.
28. Egpytian Hyenas
Carlos Murphy ,   Australia   (08.03.07)
This is what hyenas do they tear their prey apart. Israel should show those tapes everywhere, You Tube,on the radio, newspapers and the web. What spin will the Egyptians and the BBC put on this.?
29. #21 thank you thank you thank you!
toni ,   us   (08.03.07)
how is possible to take someone's life by bare hands? i am so scared of this world. imagine each one of us have people who loves us family,parents and more.why don't we respect the value of life?
30. This proves how Human Isreali soldiers are and how Arabs are
Yaccov Israel ,   NY, USA   (08.03.07)
so vicious, they do not even have feelings for their own people. This incident only PROVES how PROUD should we be as a nation to have such SOLDIERS with such high morals and before anything else Our SOLDIERS are so Human. But this is very Unfortunate they have to live among SAVAGES as their neighbours. As the history witness Killing is a common practice among Moslems. Look what Hamas did to Fatah and vice, to their own so-called brothers. No matter what the world do to the Jews, their real nature of being a HUMAN first and then anything else won't change. They resemble Life and Humanity and nothing less.
