We here in Israel cannot solve the problems of the poor and hungry of the whole world. That is the job of the UN and all affluent countries together.These people are not Jewish, even the Ethiopian Jews in Israel say this. Maybe we can give them food and medical aid but we cannot take them in. There will be no end to this.

Not fair. She's not just intelligent ,and beautiful ; she also has a good heart.

a ethiopian baby like angelina jolie? Why can't she call on the american jewish community to donate money to Israel instead of Africa?

Because the money that is being donated to Israel, never reaches the hands of the needy. it ends up in pockets of all these "charity" organizations that use Israel and Judaism to blindly steal money from people who are donating, thinking it's for Israel. I know for a fact so many organizations here in Brooklyn, NY that are doing that and people who run these organizations, simply use that money to pay for their cars, houses etc.

Her mother is from there. She will find plenty of "lost" Jews who need her help to come to Israel.

Who breeds them? Dear actress, leave the aliya job to the rabbis of Israel. They know who is Jewish and who is not. You cry out for the Universal studios that have just gone up in flames.

Ever since she played in Gitai's Free Zone Natalie Portman has gone a bit wonky in the head. Same thing happened to Juliet Binoche after starring in Gitai's Disengagement. If it isn't drugs then there must be a dybbuk at large. Scarlet, please stay in America.

The millions that go to Africa also end up in criminal hands.

I am sorry but Rabbis arent G-d. Why should they decide who is Jewish or not - they hold far too much power. I wouldnt like to put my Judaism or anyone else's in the hands of a dictatorial Rabbi/Rabinute and I am 100% Jewish - I have my aliyah documents to prove it!! (sic)

When he announced he was coming to Israel, you called him a "merde". Now that he changed his mind and said "I won't visit Palestine", you just got yourself a new best friend. And now go, run, and hug the merde.

on camera for a movie. I don't think even the French would make a French kiss at their holiest site, Notre Dame de Paris. A French kiss with Natalie Portman may be very desirable, but just not at the holiest site of Judaism. If she is not able to make good judgments on such a basic issue, I see no reason to trust her judgment when it comes to the Falashmura.

...realized that it would have been a mistake and withdrew. From my viewpoint the merde has changed back into gold and I gladly apologise.

WILL DO INSTEAD!!! Not a single Ethiopian in Israel (or in Ethiopia) is Jew! (Falasha Mura or not!) They lied, inventing bogus Jewish roots, to move to Israel only for economic reasons. Therefore, their Orthodox "conversions" are completely invalid! Quite a few became in Israel Christians again, as that was the religion they had in Ethiopia! Most of them do not work and they are there only to receive benefits!! While many Israelis live under the minimum level of poverty! They did not know even how to read in Ethiopia, living in mud huts! The American Jews are responsible for imposing these goys in Israel! NO ONE WANTS THEM IN ISRAEL!! And what do they bring to Israel? Can the Jews marry such people?!!! What on earth can the Jews in Israel do with such people? Tell me!

That Natalie Portman has bothered to do something for them is great.They deserve the same treatment that every other Jew gets.They are not the shirkers like a lot of Israelis are.They will serve Israel loyally,whether in the IDF or anywhere else.They will add a great deal to the gene pool. Welcome home and about time.

I don't sure there is any statistics to back your claims that most of *them* don't work. Older immigrants have hard time to find jobs regardless where they came from, yonger doing ok after some time. If you look around you can see they serve in army, work and have much better hebrew then most immigrants from US of A :P As for your questions: They bring mostly... themselfs, as most of other immigrants always did. Yes, jews can marry them. They are part of 'jews living in Israel'.

WHAT IDIOT DO YOU LIKE I RATHER HAVE A PRETYY IDIOT #9 IS RIGHT RABBI MEIR KAHANE IS RIGHT TORAH IS RIGHT ISRAEL IS RIGHT OLMERT JUST GO ALREADY YOU ALSO, BARAK LIVNI PERES BIBI NATALIE EVEN HER NAME IS BEAUTIFUL ..................................DACON9

Tom - i have been reading your posts for some time. You have nothing to back up your racists remarks. Do me a favor - Stay in SAN FRANCISCO. Please do not come to ISRAEL. We do not need your kind here. Jewish people have enough problems - we do not need someone as sick as you.

talkbacks represent. You're just a bunch of biggots.

Your comment is DISGUSTING Ethiopeans have a stronger DNA and anthropoligical connection to ANY jewish tribe. Then Sephardi Then Askhenazi. How dare you say they cannot come here! What non Jewish Russians can? Or are you not brave enough to be ok with them being black? Your comment is racist
