1. Africans must be deported, all of them!
Yossi ,   Israel   (05.28.12)
These guys are protecting their country from this demographic and security threat. African infiltrators only bring problems and a big part of them are criminals. They represent 1% of Israel's population! Israelis, wake up now before it is too late!!!. We must take out these infiltrators from our only jewish state, they are not refugees, they are economic immigrants!!!. My family didn't fought for this country to make it an African state, I want this country Jewish, all these infiltrators already have a country, let us send them back there, to their homeland, they belong there.
2. Horiific
Doug ,   U.S.   (05.28.12)
Oh my goodness. Oh my gosh. Someone threw an egg? Oh my goodness gracious gracious GOODNESS!!!!!
3. Why are they 'migrants' and not 'refugees'?
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.28.12)
Someone kindly explain to me the choice for this terminology..... I sense there's a legal explanation..but what?
4. PS This egg-thrower is a disgrace...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.28.12)
..by all means beat up a thief or a rapist caught in the act..... but this guy was innocent, just riding his bike..... Israeli law is based on British Law and that's 'innocent until proven guilty'!
5. eggs
mike ,   uk   (05.28.12)
Next it will be fists, knives and guns. Israeli society is pretty sick. I don't really blame these criminals. In a society so divided, with religious types spitting at little girls, the left v right, religioius v non-religious, settlers versus the rest, its a crazy country.
6. to # 4 no lesson from a polish

7. No. 5 Mike
NYC Girl   (05.28.12)
What a load of hyperbolic nonsense. I'd suggest you not believe everything you read in The Guardian.
8. #3 Because that implies refugee status.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (05.28.12)
Which most of them don't have - to name two major examples, South Sudanese aren't at clear risk in their country of origin anymore (because they have one where they're not at risk anymore), and Eritreans are only designated a "protected population" by the UN, with refugee status decided no a case-by-case basis. Refugees are people who are at clear danger in their country of origin.
9. Pogroms in Israel
Tom ,   Toronto   (05.28.12)
You've learned nothing.
10. disgusting!
cohen, Israel   (05.28.12)
Such racists should be sent at once to a tour at the concentration caps in Europe!
12. 5 and the UK is supposed to be better?
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (05.28.12)
The murder and rape level in London and the UK is through the roof. There's massive racial tension between Muslims especially in Bradford and Leicester. Big gun problems and gang / post code wars in London. Then you had the riots last year. The UK's going bust owing a trillion pounds, Israel's debt is decreasing and economy blowing up. So don't come here trying to knock Israelis my friend, try lecturing other English people first.
13. No 1 No 6
Paul ,   Israel/UK   (05.28.12)
It is rather disappointing to see racism happening from a nation that had experience with it first hand. Those people that beat up immigrants through eggs etc ... you should know better!! really !!!
14. HATE ADICTION ! and can be CURED.
hot snow ,   tlv   (05.28.12)
15. "Rather" an egg, that a rape, attack or mugging!!
Yoch ,   Y'layim, IL   (05.28.12)
16. without mass deportations it will soon be more than eggs
zionist forever   (05.28.12)
The residents of Tel Aviv want their city back and they are angry nothing is being done and it is why we need politicians like Miri Regev speaking up saying the government must do something. If the government doesn't take action and start deporting people in the tens of thousands it will lead from fustrated individuals throwing eggs to vigilantes especially after we hear about things like rapes. No whitewashing the situation and now and again deporting a couple of hundred or even 1000 because that's not even a band aid as there are so many and that number will only get bigger.
17. No. 7
Lauren ,   Israel   (05.28.12)
NYC girl - do you live in Israel? I guess not. Mike is right - society here has become a society just like in any other so-called modern westernized country, complete with gangs of roving and violent teenagers and just plain violent people who constantly take the law into their own hands. I think that many Jews who have some in of idealistic image of life in Israel base this on what life used to be like in Israel, say 15 years ago or more. This is reality, and trying to deny it is childish. For all those who will say I am just being pessimistic - think about life here really hard before you make that statement. What a disappointment Israel is to me. I still love this country but am now wondering what will become us here.
18. Eggs thrown horror of horrors
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (05.28.12)
We used to throw eggs at each other when we were 8 or 10yrs old.Big deal when Arabs throw rocks i don't see the article in such a prominent place in your Newspaper
19. disgusting
Liz   (05.28.12)
and when will Miri Regev, Danny Danon and Ben Ari be arrested for racial incitement??
20. Sick
Noor ,   Iceland   (05.28.12)
You talk like a Nazi....
21. Africans the new Palestinians
Holy Warrior ,   UK   (05.28.12)
22. Disgusting
Greg ,   Fort Lauderdale, USA   (05.28.12)
How do you expect other people to treat you with dignity when you don't dignify other people? Trash.
23. Were we not once strangers in many countries?
Yonah ,   Haifa Israel   (05.28.12)
How can a Jew hate this much, with what we have lived with for centuries? Are we not above this? Some are illegals, but some are refugees. I am ashamed for were we not once strangers in many countries? Didn't many anti Jewish hate crimes start like this?
24. Africa Wake Up
Waasa Saasa ,   Choma Zambia   (05.28.12)
We Africans must begin to wake up and realise we cannot be running away from resolving our issues in the hope that someone somewhere will shelter us when they have had to sacrifice for the well being of their countries for their childrens and children. Besides most of the same African countries do not even stand with Israel when it comes to what;s going on currently. I am agaist Israelies discriminating them, but I also am against our stupid African leaders who are so obsessed with greed and power at the expense of making Africa a better place for its citizens. Add to that, you go to another country and want to be involved in all sorts of vices rather than converting. Good for them. Meanwhile they leave tyrants such as Al Bashir terrorising fellow Africans like a lion. Was this a curse from God or what? Right now East DRC is on fire. Where are the leaders in Africa? What is their agenda?
25. Disgusting
Daniel Temkin ,   Tel Aviv   (05.28.12)
I hope that these bastards and the sick politicians who incite such behavior get sent to jail.
26. they should leave Israel
chantalle.ezer ,   Frankfurt Germany   (05.28.12)
The so-called migrants or refugees should be sent back to Egypt. International Law provides the legal framework for sending them back over the border. Israel is overpopulated and should not accept those people. Take a close look at EU countries and Germany especially and you will see your dreary future. Chantalle
27. interesting!
David ,   Raanana   (05.28.12)
While I agree that the country has to cope with the influx of illegal immigrants the way these people acted (the guys throwing the eggs) is a disgrace to Jewdaism and to the State... Unbelievible and a disgrace!!! These kids should be punished hard!!!
28. raciste people
berber girl ,   annaba,algeria   (05.28.12)
i'm an white african ,and i'm sick when i see someone humiliate black african , we must treat them as they treat us when they come to our continent .
29. #8 Thanks, Roman...Kibalti...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.28.12)
