1. Oh, for heaven's sake
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.22.11)
These Israelis are clean, presentable and undiseased. How about cracking down on all those illegal African aliens who have AIDS ... and Hansen's Disease .... or all those illegal tubercular Central Americans who work in restaurants? Boy oh boy. Obama must be REALLY angry with Israel. Loving it!
2. Recicled stuff ,...
split ,   US   (06.22.11)
I remember an article with the same concerns few years ago ,...
3. Illegal Kiosk Workers
The Professor ,   Brooklyn, NY USA   (06.22.11)
Play a man's game - pay a man's price. What a chutzpah for people to abuse a tourist visa in order to work in the U.S. for months on end! If you can't play by the local rules, don't bother coming! Is making money quickly so important that laws can be broken? Perhaps you can make faster money tryng to smuggle drugs into Japan. However, the Japanese know better how to deal with these matters than other countries....
4. US Tales on Illegal Israelis
Rachael   (06.22.11)
So the US thinks Israelis working in a kiosk illegally are so much more dangerous than the illegal terrorists from Hamas, Somalia, etc--who don't acknowledge US Law, hate everything not Islam and want to dominate the world??? There are no words....
5. Why are Jews discriminated against?
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (06.22.11)
"As of now, the US Consulate refused to grant entry visas to newly dismissed IDF soldiers."
6. Why ??
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (06.22.11)
Are these direct orders from Hussain Obama ? Why now ??
7. LMAO... hundreds of thousands of Mexican...
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (06.22.11)
...illegals have carte blanche in US, while Israeli Jews are considered undesirables and barred from entry. The US really is sinking to new depths of depravity. Considering that most of those who work in the US are lefties who would, without thinking twice, sell out Israel for a green card, you really have to love the irony of this. Personally I have no desire, nor ever had any, to visit the US. I even rejected a very lucrative career move 9 years ago. But hey, the mighty $ symbol is god for many young Israelis....ma la'asot?
8. They have 12-20 million illegal Mexicans.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (06.22.11)
And they're worried about a few hundred Israelis.
9. Why can't we institute this in Israel?
William ,   Israel   (06.22.11)
There are plenty of illegals - both workers and "activists" lying when they enter Israel and over-staying VISAs. Why can't we institute the same harsh policies here to ban people for life, to toss them in jail and humiliate them by forcing them to beg their parents for money to get out, to put a big black stamp on their fat American or EU passport?? I tend to side with the US in this case even though I understand the young Israeli side. I support national laws and border protection, and believe Israel shouldn't be an open door to every nut or terrorist looking to gain entry, no matter how many claims of "undemocratic" are voiced.
10. I apologize for the muslum that liberal Jews funded in the
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.22.11)
2008 election. They did not understand that he was arrogant and incompetent, they only saw that he could give elegant speeches and that America needed "change" which he promised them. He has failed us miserably, he hates Jews and you can see that in how he treats Jews. Ahh, but he still asks for their money and he still lies to us.
11. To: William at No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.22.11)
These are nice Israeli kids, William. They are not criminals or thugs or generally undesirable. In fact, I remember an incident a year or so back when one of these kids performed CPR on a person who had collapsed in the mall when no American would touch him for fear of being sued. These kids are straight out of the IDF where, as you well know, they put their lives on the line every single day. I don't begrudge them earning spending cash. In fact, like many Jewish people in the States, when shopping in a mall, I tend to deliberately seek them out.
12. The REAL reason WHY...
Edward ,   Savannah, USA   (06.22.11)
the U.S. is cracking down on "illegal" ISRAELI immigration is because there is a war on WHITE people migrating into this country. I have heard interviews by BLACK people that have stated that they have HEARD Michelle Obama RANT her vile hatred against white people or anything that looks "white" that they do not want anyone coming into this country that may even look "white"!!! We have two of the most RACIST people ever in the White House. If Israelis came here looking dirty, couldn't speak English, had AIDS, or any kind of third world status and anti-American, non-white, they'd be welcomed, given government assistance at U.S. taxpayer expense, the whole deal. Yeah Ynet, I've stated what everyone knows but don't have the courage to speak. Why don't you print THIS to expose those TWO Jew Hating White Hating RACISTS in the White House!!!??? Have the courage to speak the Truth of the situation here!!!!!!
13. I am not defending them, but why doesn't
jason white ,   afula, israel   (06.22.11)
the jihadist of the U.S.(jotUS) go after the gangs that came up from central and so. America? Or the 10% of the mexican population that is living illegally in the U.S.? Selling drugs and murdering in the streets, not working in a kiosk. How many ham-ass, hizbullah and iranian terrorists are living in the U.S. waiting to strike? b.o. wants the latino vote, so he will give them amnesty. Jews should avoid b.o. and his administration. What do they need to see that he is our enemy? Do they need to be rounded up and put in concentration camps? Does this jihadist have to nuke Tel Aviv? What will it take? Open your eyes and see the enemy and do not believe his smooth talking lies!
14. Meanwhile US gov't lets ISMers do it to Israel
Lee Kaplan ,   BErkeley, USA   (06.22.11)
The ISM creeps in the US hold seminars on how to lie to Israeli border police to get into the country to riot as human shields for Hamas and other terror groups in the West Bank every week. Maybe US State should make a film to show ISM "activists." Oops! Forgot Israel is supposed to act dumb and tolerate their garbage while putting soldiers and reservists at risk. What a joke!

Harold ,   USA   (06.22.11)
No one is above the law. Israelis are getting 3 Biilion Dollars from the US tax payers every year. What do they what more - taking US jobs!!!!!!!!!!
16. It is funny....
John ,   NYC   (06.22.11)
...that these people are warning other people. Silly people will keep on doing this, and the intelligent ones (not like tho ones on the video) will never do that.
17. #11
Rachel ,   Hadera   (06.22.11)
I agree with you that these are decent kids. However, that does not change the fact that they are breaking the law. There is no difference between what they are doing in America and what a lot of illegal workers are doing here in Israel. We can't expect the government here to deport Thai workers, for example, who have run from their employers when their visa was finished and have a different standard for Israelis working illegally in America. When these kids are knowingly breaking the law they should expect to be treated as any other illegal worker and be deported. I don't believe it has anything to do with them being Jewish or not. If it was an illegal Mexican worker would you still feel that what they are doing is ok?
18. the obama complex
jan ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.22.11)
obama is real mess-he certainly shows his true self and how jealous and spiteful he is the the Jews!!! Why doesn't he confront and dispose of other illegals, esp. the druggies and sex fiends! obama is a obamination!
19. #11 nice kids?
Laura   (06.22.11)
they might be nice kids- so what are they doing there without the proper papers? Does 'straight out of the IDF' qualify for this? Illegal French, Brits, Swiss, Italians you would probably not excuse, so why, pray tell, should Israelis be excused, because they are Jews?
20. #18 the Jewish complex
IDo   (06.22.11)
I really do not see your point. Illegals are just that illegal. Israelis have to learn to fit in- the law applies to all people, not just to 'others'. A tourist visa is for tourists, not people who want to make a quick buck... why should Jews be above the law- anywhere?
21. Important Detail Missing...
R. M. ,   Detroit, MI   (06.22.11)
... The story and accompanying video fail to mention anything about the actual perpetrators of the scam. That is an important detail because based upon past investigations, and you can google this if you don't believe it, they are not Americans. They are also Israelis with the proper Visa or perhaps dual citizenship. This is not about praying upon innocents for cheap labor, it is about spying on Americans. Those in charge of the operation are either sayanim for Mossad or katsas, their field agents. The junk they sell is at a high markup compared to the cost. This coupled with the tax evasion of the workers allows them to not only pay them but generate money to support intelligence operations. It's an alternative to selling drugs to fund intelligence operations like many other agencies around the world (including the USA) have been known to do. The scam doesn't stop there either. Locksmiths, Movers, and counterfeit art sales are also scams used as fronts and sources of income for spying on Americans. Many times these operations are near military bases. They are spying on Americans. Why do you think they are getting permabanned from entry or that they mention homeland security? All those comparisons to 'illegals' is irrelevant. Most of the time those 'illegals', are in fact legal or citizens. Besides, they are not treated any different. An illegal citizen is an illegal citizen. There is no exception for Israelis, Israel is a foreign country. Add spying implications into the mix and you can see why this is serious. Do not mention the 'friendly' angle. I don't spy on my friends.
22. to Sara B
Itamar ,   Israel   (06.22.11)
Cry me a river, says the song... no one should be above the law. this yelling bad manner ex-idf kids, who go all over America, selling dead sea cream bottles for fortunes should be allow to do so, if you are a student like me, then you get a visa and can work legally to sustain yourself.
23. well said #20
Moshe   (06.22.11)
24. YET IF OBAMA GETS HIS WAY....
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (06.22.11)
...there'll be MILLIONS of Israelis looking for countries where they can live and make a living. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
25. #1 Sarah B.S, U.S.A. / Israel
Marco ,   Spain   (06.22.11)
What a racist p!g you are Sarah. What do you have against black Africans? Does your racism include the falashas?
26. Whats new?
Avi ,   Israel   (06.22.11)
Americans have always been anti Semites. America is the land of the slaves and home of the K.K.K...
27. #11 Sarah B.S, U.S.A. / Israel
Marco ,   Spain   (06.22.11)
Oh yes Sarah, those are thugs that are knowingly breaking the law. They need to be arrested and deported and learn to respect the law. If they want to emigrate to America, they should learn to do that legally like every one else including blacks...
28. 8. They have 12-20 million illegal Mexicans.
split ,   US   (06.22.11)
They're from the third world country that owns us a billions you (Israel) suppose to be the advanced one with a the budget surplus ,...
29. 1. How about they crack down on the illegal
Pissed off American   (06.22.11)
south Americans crossing the Mexican border costing the American economy billions in medical, welfare, bilingual education. Committing crimes and destroying the American culture and economy. The Obama administration doesn't give a crap about them. He wants to make them citizens so they'll vote for him.
30. Idiot!
K.M ,   US   (06.22.11)
