1. DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (05.26.12)
Stop bullying the very beautiful Miri Regev who is merely stating the truth .Israel can not possibly absorb tens of thousands of africans ,we do not want them here.
2. Regev is a fine lady and she speaks the
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.26.12)
truth !
3. #1, Regev is right 72 hours very reasonable
Pasquinel ,   London, Canada   (05.26.12)
You Jews have a G_D given right to the land He gave you and to let in whom you wish. How come protesters can demonstrate in front of Regev's private residence?, this should not be allowed, not just in her case but all politicians. The safety of your citizens should come first. Pray Bibi does the right thing.
4. MK Regev was taken too literally
Reuven   (05.27.12)
But she's right that the problem of the illegal infiltrators is growing fast. If we want our country we have to stop and reverse it. Deportation within 72 hours is a great idea.
5. They are migrants, not immigrants...
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.27.12)
... since they have not immigrated and do not hold Israeli citizenship.
6. MK Regev is cheap
Avi ,   Israel   (05.27.12)
She hands out water???? Does she not have something a little bit more expensive like wine? She gives a bad name to us Jews...
7. Handing out water? Tap water?
(05.27.12)
8. SHE'S RIGHT!
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
She, as a representative of the people who elected her to speak on their behalf. I know of no other politician who gives out water and flowers, good for her! 72 hours is all we have to give in America. We can no longer afford their free medical care, housing, food, education, while our own people lack the same benefits that their tax dollars pay for. Fair is fair!
9. Put into context, their causing a problem.
(05.27.12)
It's got to be addressed with their homeland.
10. #8
Denise ,   Harlem   (05.27.12)
SHE"S AFRICAN.
11. wrong approach!
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (05.27.12)
The Israeli government ministers shouldn't say anything about the refugees/infiltrators publicly. They should shut up and debate the issue privately and come up with a plan (law) to deal with the problem instead of making statements that would incite either side, however to debate the issue publicly without coming up with a solution is tantamount to not doing anything at all. The minister above that is inciting the people is part of the problem not part of the solution. If she would direct her fury at her fellow MK to address the problem she would be more effective.

Observer ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (05.27.12)
She aint too smart either.
13. Politicians who use hyperbole are impotent to act...
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.27.12)
... and make real change. While some just want to grab headlines, there are others who wish they could pass laws rather than producing sound bites but are held back by more senior elements in the state structure.
14. She is an angel
Admirer ,   Israel   (05.27.12)
She came to offer water and flowers to her adversaries. She is our Marie Therese
15. They came from egypt to Israel, send them to egypt and
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.27.12)
let that be the end.
16. Miri Regev for PM!
Jake   (05.27.12)
17. What a Jewish cheappo...Tap water?
Mark Wilson ,   U.S.A.   (05.27.12)
18. to many politicians are politically correct
zionist forever   (05.28.12)
It might have been controversial what she said but all she did was say what alot Israeli's feel and she should be commended for her straight talking. So far successive governments have done zip about this problem and when they start talking about doing something like deporting all they need to do is bring out the big guns .. the kids. Give them banners saying I LOVE ISRAEL AND I WANT TO SERVE IN THE IDF and suddenly everybody gets a burst of compassion and starts saying we cant deport families whose kids love Israel so much. No whitewash of deporting a couple of hundred or even 1000 and boasting about how the government is getting things done we need to start deporting tens of thousands ASAP because the problem will just get worse and the more who come the harder is becomes to get rid of any of them. Bibi should challenge Abbas and the arab states to take in their share. Be interesting to see how compassionate the arabs can be when challenged.

zionist forever   (05.28.12)
When politicians say nothing publicly then the public feel abandoned and that politicians are more interested in issues like drafting the haredi and ignoring the real issues which are affecting ordinary people. That not only costs politicians votes on election day but also its likely to lead to vigilante action because the attitude becomes if the government isn't interested in our problems then we will do something ourselves.. What Regev said was not politically correct and no US politician who wants to keep his job would ever use words like that but she isn't the first straight talking politician Israel has seen. Liberman, Yishai, Golda, Sharon was no diplomat and there have been others. This is Israel not the US or Europe and although the majority of Israeli politicians do hide behind political correctness but there are a few who are willing to speak their mind and we need more straight talkers.
20. Regev is a trashey rascist
Haim ,   TA   (05.28.12)
Just imaging if such comments were made about jews abroad ? She is nothing but a trashey rascist b***h
21. #20 Wow! What hatred! What venom
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.28.12)
spewing from a man who would call himself a humanist and lover of all people. I laugh at you, you farce!
22. # 10 Denise no she's Jewish!
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.28.12)
get a clue.
23.  # 20 Haim? 6 million dead Jews.
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.28.12)
Just imagine that 6 million dead Jews would love to live inIsrael.
24. #21, #23 ignore him
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.28.12)
Please ignore Haim. He supported Yaron London's call for "reducing the number of Haredim" because they are a real threat. You know, the kind of Haredim that Muhamad Merah reduced.
25. Thanks
Denise ,   Harlem   (05.28.12)
Oh an African Jew from Morocco. Thanks
26. #24 - So sad...
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.28.12)
I cry not for the Jewish victim of Arab terror. That victim is a martyr! I cry for the Jewish victims of senseless self-hatred!
