1. If I was Russia Today I'd shut my trap! Seriously..
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.26.12)
2. MKs are the problem
Mary   (05.26.12)
The reason for the international concern enen in the US are not south Tel Aviv residents living in a pocket of poverty, but the language used by members of Knesset namely Miri Regev and Danny Danon, who name human beings “a cancer in our body" and are speaking about refugees as "infiltrators" "enemies" and "war" (“Israel is at war. An enemy state of infiltrators was established in Israel, and its capital is south Tel Aviv.”). Not the poor people but the well known and powerful members of Knesset are the problem.
3. You have become PC to the the point of being stupid
Al   (05.26.12)
Either you get rid of these invaders or you will lose your very own tiny sliver of a country. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure that one out. As for the elite dreck media, well once these invaders come to your hood and start making your latte drinking days and nghts miserable then I'll bet you the farm you'll be singing another tune. Does the word DETROIT remind you of anything?
4. african migrants
chana ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.26.12)
well, its terrible to live near to them, its not racist, its because of the way they are living and what they are doing, most of them behave like most of the gipsys in Europa, not working, stealing, rape etc. extremly dirty flats, bathing in the whole room, that the water is flowing through the ceiling etc.
5. Seems like the world can't mind their own business
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (05.26.12)
When each country that complains about Israel's problems, suddenly they forget their own. The so-called Africans in Israel are illegal. U.S.A. is shooting the Mexican illegals when they cross the border. Has anyone looked at a map lately. Israel cannot take an infusion of lazy refugees.
6. as usual the media blows events in Israel out of proportion
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.26.12)
One Arab is killed & it's dubbed a massacre. A few Israelis go on a rampage & it's a race riot. Every country where the media made these hyped reports have had attacks on immigrants 10 X worse. It's especially disgusting when Europeans compare it to kristallnacht because there is no comparison & it trivializes what happened then.
7. America deports her illegals within 72 hours.
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.26.12)
Israel should do the same. no small nation such as Israel can absorb so many illegals and have to pay for their freight. Africans aren't Jews, israel is the "Homeland for The Jewish people."
8. This is so ridiculous it really needs no comment .But i will
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (05.26.12)
A Pogrom! Kristalinact! it's said that i an average person know more about history that occurred at the time of my Grandparents and Grandparent.The programs that i read about were instigated by the Govts and carried out by a willing populous. In the demonstration in Tel Aviv a car window was smashed and no one was sent to Hospital let alone killed or raped which what a pogrom was.Another thing the first country they entered was Egypt were they are killed an robbed. Yes these Newspapers are anti Jewish with an agenda.
9. Anti Israel propaganda again
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (05.26.12)
Israel must prove at last, that it is an independent state. Serious negligation, that the migrants problem reached such a level. The mistake must be corrigated and all migrants must be sent home . Regardeless for "international echo".As a provisional idea I suggest that EU countries let the refugees to their territory, there is a serious lack of illegal peoples in Paris or London. If they do not agree they are racists, not Israel.
10. #4
Eugene ,   Israel   (05.26.12)
they are not allowed to work so the only way they can sustain themselves is by crime or donations. there has been only one case of rape where african migrants were involved.
11. Imagine the broo haha
Magpie 101   (05.26.12)
if people had run through Golders Green attacking Jews because they had caused the financial crisis? Yet there are Amricans on this talkback justifying what happened in Tel Aviv
12. RT should be sued for such comparisons
Daniel ,   Boston   (05.26.12)
While I can't support most of the views of the protestors, to make such a comparison is unacceptable. Russia, of all places, has no right to condemn others for racism. I remember very well how neo-Nazis marched during a protest in Moscow just a few years back, and I'm sure they marched last year too. Oh, and let's not forget how good Russia is to their African immigrants. Every year there is an incident where African students get murdered for the color of their skin (not some refugees who refuse to work and resort to stealking, but students who are looking for a career). There is plenty of racism in Israel (I should add that it comes a lot from the Russian sector, and I actually happen to belong to that sector myself; it's just that they were taught this slime in Russia and it's hard to unlearn). But Israel is a crossroad, and has always been one. Even Jews themselves were composed of 12 tribes, not a single one. We have to accept that and to deal with refugees humanely. That is not to say that we should let them stay, Israel has every right to deport most of them, especially the criminals among them.
13. To be or not to be, that's the problem
BENJABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (05.26.12)
Those that are here without papers, shouldn't be here in the first place Shops must not hire the, landlords shouldn't rent, it's Illegal all the way around Give them a lunch in a plastic sack,, transportation to the Egyptian border, they can return the same way they entered
14. #11
Silky ,   Silkeborg, Denmark   (05.26.12)
Funny, Israel is represented by over half of the talkbacks. Anyway, Israel is a modern country, with modern problems. England, the worst colonists in world history haven't much to generate in way of advice, as does America.
15. 7, you are confessing that
Ahmet, Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.26.12)
Israel is an apartheid state. Your ugly country is based on race discrimination. Last 20 years of Israel. You'll fall eventually. Don't come to us this time please. Go to north pole or somewhere where you'll have no neighbors to hate you.
16. No. 11 Magpie
NYC Girl   (05.26.12)
While I have a certain amount of sympathy for these African immigrants, your comment is absolute bullshit. The residents of Golders Green are not in the country illegally and you can be sure that if the African immigrants in Israel were white, and the circumstances were the same, they wouldn't be welcomed with open arms either. Not only that, but maybe you should take your complaints to the government of Egypt where there aren't any race riots...because when the Africans arrive there they're usually shot.
17. Dont you guys love it how were so popular?
Michael ,   West Jerusalem   (05.26.12)
18. Shame on us, israeli
Yossef   (05.26.12)
19. The next "riots" will be against bias journalists!
Sam ,   Tel Aviv   (05.26.12)
20. These are not refugees or migrants.
PCNetdoc ,   Israel   (05.26.12)
These are illegal aliens the same as those that infiltrate the US. Thw are not refugees since they managed to pay the smugglers $1000s of dollars to get them into Israel. These are not people seeking political assylum either. And if you want to consider them refugges, then Egypt is their assylum place since it's the 1st stop on their route to Israel.
21. #20 human beings
Mary   (05.26.12)
Your statement is false, since near to all refugees are Illegal. No country accept freely human beings to come in. However, Belorussian refugees (many Jewish) are today happy to "infiltrate" Lithuania, Africans are happy to "inifltrate" Israel (and Belgium, France and UK), and until 1938 Polish Jews were even happy to "Inifltrate" Nazi Germany. If you won't believe read the biography of the late Abraham Joshua Heschel who was expelled from Nazi Germany with 2000 illegal Polish Jews to Poland during "Kristallnacht". Poland don't let these "Illegals" in, they stayed over weeks in no-man's land, in November 1938. It is an international problem and israel has no right to treat refugees different from other countries.
22. We've been through too much to let them
Reuven   (05.26.12)
destroy Israel! And they will, if this influx isn't reversed soon.
23. resume auto-deportation now!
alex   (05.26.12)
24. #15
(05.26.12)
He confessed no such thing, you're the one who put the label. He said to deport the migrants. Apartheid occurred in SA, where English had colonized the lands and created discriminatory laws based upon race. Are you implying that these Africans originated in Israel, and the Israelis colonized Israel from the Africans? Of course not, so use better words like "racism" "discrimination", instead of Apartheid. The only people who use the word apartheid are polemicists with a political agenda, likely what you are. Come to you? You conveniently forget how much technology and industry Jews brought with them to Turkey from Spain. Here's a better idea, you go to the north pole and we'll give your house to a deserving Kurdish family. P.S. Most of my secular Turkish friends would spit on you given the chance. You disgrace Turkey.
25. To nr 10 - The issues Eugene are two
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.26.12)
1) Demographics in our land - 20% already of Israel´s population is non Jewish (mainly Moslem Arabs) and we can´t accept more non Jews into our country because we are an independent and sovereign state, a tiny country with a tiny population surrounded by enemy states that want us dead. We cannot use Jewish ethics as an argument to persuade Israel to commit national demographic suicide. I know that anti-Semites don´t care - they neiter care about Jews nor about Africans. Anti-Semites will use ANY excuse to destroy Israel - even humane treatment of refugees. 2) The second issue: the law. The African illegal immigrants are here illegally - they are infiltrating our land. So they have no right to work or live here at all. All of them should be expelled? Why? Because this is a JEWISH STATE and Israel must remain Jewish.
26. USA media
stan ,   usa   (05.26.12)
Don't worry the Zionist controlled US media did not say one word about this, they will never reveal who you really are.
27. #26 Stan i guess you can't read
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (05.26.12)
It mentioned the N.Y. time and the CSM
28. 24, you are a disgrace to humanity
Ahmet, Istanbul ,   Turkey   (05.26.12)
You have right to deport people, but you don't have right to lynch them with your disgusting horde. Don't lecture me about Turkey, Turkish people are done with fascist Israelis, you are neither wanted nor accepted in Turkey. Don't desecrate our soil with your filthy feet.
29. #28
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.27.12)
Turkey is a shining exampleof beautiful race relationships with Arnenians and Kurds
30. #15 Ahmet, one question
BENJABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (05.27.12)
How many of these Illegall'syou invited to live in Turkey,,live in your home & eat at your table? Concerning Apartheid, Muslim's are the foremost practioners ot it Look in your mirror first Apartheid, I am glad you brought up the subject, that is so prevalent in the Muslim world, where it is referred to as Dhimmitude, much more restrictive than your alleged Israeli Apartheid, you need some enlightenment as to what is going on in your little world or better yet, here are some instant facts for your perusal Shall we use the Muslim examples of equal rights? Copts persecuted in Egypt, their Churches burned, while they are inside praying ? Christians afraid to go to Church in Iraq ? Turks gassing and incinerating Kurds in Iraq ? Syrians gassing their own people ? Car bombings in Iraq & Afghanistan ? Blowing up Mosques while people of other sects are at prayer ? Using Minarets for sniper vantage points ? Or should we just look at how Dhimmi's are treated, and the rules and regulations that govern them Your choice, pick em !! Do yourself a favor, Google “DHIMMITUDE” before you condemn the actions of others, your own are pretty damn vile
