eporue ,   europ   (12.11.11)
vel for him, without being "bothered"...
2. Where does one go when "going to Africa".??????????
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.11.11)
3. since PM Mr. Netanyahu is traveling...
Israeli Taxpayer ,   Israel   (12.11.11)
may I suggest that he do so just like the infiltrators...that is on foot without his security detail and with just enough money to bribe the bedouin at the border. I make this suggestion because it my view that if Mr. Netanyahu seeks authentic experience in order to know what decision to make about the infiltrator/economic refugee problem he must become an infiltrator/economic refugee himself! We could turn it into a really "zizzin'" reality tv show! and then PM Mr. Netanyahu would have the positive ratings he so hungrily seeks! (BTW PM Mr. Netanyahu, you have a life you are the PM of the State of Israel and in my humble opinion this trip isn't a good idea!)
4. Mr. Netanyahu what r ur advisors thinking? & y r u taking...
(12.11.11)
their advise? This trip IS NOT good for the Jews!
5. PM travels to Africa
Terri ,   Jerusalem   (12.11.11)
Why waste our money? Just Send Them Back!! I bet if his wife had to walk from the Tel Aviv bus station--just one time--they would all be packed up and shipped out the next day!
6. Bibi! please don't go, just send the Africans back!
Ilana ,   Israel   (12.11.11)
and once you send them back spend the money from your trip on building a strong border fence and that is the end of the story!
7. Mr. Netanyahu what kind of hanuka vacation is this?!
(12.11.11)
Whassamatter with you!
8. Travelling to Africa
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (12.11.11)
So where exactly in Africa will he travel to? Eritrea? Sudan? Yeh - they'll really welcome him there I'm sure...... And what will he do when he gets there? Also it worries me that he talks about "Israel's future as a Jewish and democratic state" rather than a modern democratic state with a Jewish character.
9. Wow 7 TBs and all of them against this junket to Africa...
watcher ,   Israel   (12.11.11)
Congrats Mr. Netanyahu you have done the well near impossible you have unified 7 Ynet TBers and gotten them all to express the same opinion about your trip. Now that's a great way to begin the week!
10. PM Netanyahu Right!
Rochel ,   Los Angeles USA   (12.11.11)
Israel is a very small State. We can't afford to support the whole world. There are many Jews who need jobs in Israel and many Jews who are living in tents. We simply can't afford to support the whole world.
11. Hahaha -- I add my suggestion below
Abraham ,   Israel, Jerusalem   (12.11.11)
Hahaha, I may add that he must stay/live there - in Eritrea - to feel how it is to live in hell. Then he may understand why they want to come here.
12. Going to Africa where most hate Israel and are Pro-Palestine
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.11.11)
No doubt he will not be welcome in South Africa where a previous Deputy Foreign Minister proclaimed that "Jews should be thrown into the sea!" Minister Yishai, who is determined to deport these people, should have been just as determined to to have given the fire services the fire retardant that they needed, then 42, including a 16 year old volunteer, people might have been alive today! Minister Yishai, we the people of Israel will NEVER forgive and NEVER forget your failures and we still hold you responsible! The fact that you are still a member of the present government shows the Prime Minister's total lack of respect for the people of this country!
13. #10 Rochel: Jews living in tents? Maybe riding Camels too?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.11.11)
The "tents" were part of a demonstration! Hello! Like Occupy Wall Street! So you want jobs for Jews and the Russians who came here by the Law of Return and serve in the IDF must go back to Russia too?What abou the Arabs? Do you want to justify the claim that Israel is practicing "ethnic cleansing"? Put the weed down and have a look how many Americans are living in cardboard boxes! By the way, California is a "State"; Israel is a Country!
14. Africans in - bibi out ?
2Mad ,   צרפת   (12.11.11)
Add ehud barak, and let's call it a deal. A good one, that is.
15. #13 David: All Rochel saying that Israel can't help everyone
Dov ,   NY, USA   (12.11.11)
I suggest you calm down and be more tolerant to other views. All #10 is saying is that Israel cannot solve all of Africa's problems. A fence should be built to stop them from coming here and who cares if they die on the other side. Those that are here should be settled elsewhere (there are many stable countries in Africa. e.g. South Africa).
16. Bibi is a great PM!
nadav ,   tlv   (12.11.11)
he's smart, compassionate, engaging, articulate, and open minded. People who attack him do so precisely because of this and the fact that no one to the Left or Right of him is worthy or capable enough to lead the country! I am glad i voted for Bibi and I will do so again!
17. # 16 - So????????????????
mba ,   Israel   (12.11.11)
Smart = teacher, professor compassionate=rabbi, social worker engaging=social coordinator, host articulate=public speaker, writer open minded=arbitrator, judge What has all the above to do with being a PM - absolutely nothing.
18. Suffering from a bad case of Mexican Syndrome are ye?
Cameron ,   USA   (12.12.11)
19. and yet here in my home...
Paul ,   Australia   (12.14.11)
Jewish "social justice" professional whiners and advocates are at the forefront of our society demanding we take ever more refugees, and haranguing us with guilt trips over how much more we can do for these poor people. Always suspected it was something to do with divide and rule.
