1. Awful
James ,   Canada   (06.04.12)
Sad. Israel is quickly becoming the fascist Jewish state. Barely 60 years later...who would have thought?
2. Dispicable act of cowardness
Debbie ,   Kirayt Ono   (06.04.12)
No doubt the angry mob spurned on by the likes of the MK Eli Yishai and MK Michael Ben Ari, will only be happy when they finally get the blood they crave for as if setting fire to a kindergarden in South Tel Aviv wasnt enough to satisfy their lust. Yes we all know there is a problem with African immigrants but this is not the Jewish way, lets not forget we were once starngers in a foreign land and sought shelter.
3. Miri Regev incite and the racist go to work
Yossi   (06.04.12)
4. Is Black a new nuclear Iran threat to Israel?
Mwanza ,   Petauke, Zambia   (06.04.12)
Are Israelis really sure they want all Jews to return to Tel Aviv and Africa to gang up with the enemies of Israel? Why can't the Israeli government do us a favour and deal with Al Bashir, Mugabe, and all the despotic African leaders, so that Africans do not have to run away from their own countries. Where is the AU in all this? I think Israel needs the support of black Africa, unless they tell us we should also torch the Israelis living elsewhere. Someone should teach those haredis a lesson about history, and the role of the black man in the Torah. These 'sins' will cost Israel one day.
5. Utterly disgusting :^(
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.04.12)
The people that did that are not my people even if technically they were. That was attempted murder against innocent people. If I was running the show they guilty would never see the light of day again.
6. growing list of attacks
David ,   San Francisco   (06.04.12)
Sudanese were attacked after racist protests, a Sudanese hotel worker was almost lynched to death, a Sudanese man was killed in Tel Aviv and now these Africans had their residence set ablaze! All of this over the course of one week! Between all these attacks on Africans and SUPPORT for violence against Palestinian and Palestinian property, as can be read on Ynet daily, it is becoming clear that Israeli's are increasingly turning into a radical people!
7. rascists
Mike ,   Uk   (06.04.12)
The irony, they are beating up Jews in France and the Jews are beating up blacks in Israel. When you have teams like Betar chanting death to Arabs, and Minster inciting against non-jews what else can you expect.
8. Not good. Hopefully, the gov't can deal with this phenomenon
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (06.04.12)
9. That was in front of the law an attempt to make murder
Simo ,   Helsinki, Finland   (06.04.12)
But sadly it will not be inspected as a such, because the people living in apartment were black non-Jews and the guilty pyromanias Jews. If the same had done against Jews in, for example France, the Jews would roar and demand blood. Now they are silent. Strange moral.
10. #9 - Simo, preach your moral to Russians
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (06.04.12)
and don't forget to ask for the return of the Finnish lands stolen from you.
11. DEPORTATION IS PREFERABLE TO ARSON
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (06.04.12)
Israel canot absorb limitless illegal Africans. May I suggest the proper paperwork for illegals or, that they go home. They are the ones who must fight for their human rights in their nation, not take over Israel's by being illegals to begin with.
12. Each and everyone of us
Joe ,   Jerusalem   (06.04.12)
Each and everyone of usmust think deeply and only then act. It is not enough to see and be revolted and then move on to another spectator delight and then another.....
13. Dont get me wrong, I DO feel sorry for
Arlene ,   Israel   (06.04.12)
these people, the genuine ones that have fled in fear of their lives from their country, and yes, many of us were in the same situation and most of the time lived very uneasily in foriegn lands. Some still do as we have seen in France etc. I also think its a terrible thing to fire their homes and beat them...it is not the jewish way. BUT now I ask would you want them "squatting " in your local park where your children go to play? Do you walk at night past the homeless migrants? DO BE HONEST!! Always with genuine Asylum seekers you get the the hitch-hikers. Do hope the government will come up with a solution before its too late.
14. Africans in Israel
emmy   (06.04.12)
These africans are just seeking a half decent life which they don't have in their own countries. Believe you me, I know! after living 22 years in Africa as much as I loved it, I always felt threatened by the Blacks. Many times I was jeered at and told to get out. What seemed to keep their mouths shut was when I gave them the waving up and down V-sign. I'm nobody's fool and they knew it. I think that Israel has quite enough on its plate with the arabs trying to take over their country. They don't need the blacks to join the fray! I nearly had a heart-attack when I read about the Africans flooding into Israel. No no! enough is enough. send them home.
15. Expect retaliation......
Robert ,   Australia   (06.04.12)
...... against Jews and condemnation of these gangs..
16. #11 Illegals?
Robert ,   Australia   (06.04.12)
Aren't there any legal immigrants in Israel?
17. to #4 from Zambia!!! no mention of haredi!
peggy ,   UK   (06.04.12)
I am sure Israel can do without the support of the African nations that are mostly dictatorships, corrupt and at poverty level, apart from those close to plate. Look what happened after they helped Uganda!!! Why doesnt Zambia deal with Syrias problem, and would you like some migrants from Erithea and Sudan? Should Israel ask Egypt to send them to you instead of Israel....and dont think about the UK, we have enough.!
18. THIS IS RACISM IN ACTION... AND ISRAEL MUST STOP IT!
stude ham   (06.04.12)
19. #16 - ask aborigens about your status in Australia...
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (06.04.12)
You might be up for a big surprise!
20. #9
Sane ,   Manchester England   (06.04.12)
Actually, you will see the vast majority of people, even those who want illegal immigrants deported, will be horrified at an attack like this, as the comments prove. The fact that some people would commit arson, which may very well have led to murder is a source of great shame to us, while in the case of france which you bring up, people like you spend pages trying to 'understand' the murderers.
21. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.04.12)
Well, thanks for the Biblical reference. My question to you would be merely how many of those strangers in a strange land did we assault, rape, or steal from? Debbie, you need to take the scales from your eyes. The Jews who were strangers in a strange land -- two millennia worth, actually -- were never anti-social drunks and diseased degenerates. They never raped anyone's daughters or sisters. They were contributing and law-abiding members of the society in which they sought refuge. Can you say the same for the African "strangers?" No. You cannot. Jews always attempted to live according to the standards of the host society. These African interlopers do NOT. They are trying to impose their despicable ways upon us. The question is, should we let that happen? The bigger question is, with so many refugee and medical assistance programs fostered by the United Nations, why are they our problem at all? They don't belong here; they are not in the least bit interested in becoming good Israelis, and they are not our problem. That's what the United Nations is for, isn't it? If not, then why such a huge budget set aside for "refugees?" There is no place for these disaffected, diseased and criminal East Africans in our midst. Hand them over to the United Nations. It's THEIR job; not ours. (By the way, the word is "cowardice." It does not, however, apply in the instant case.)
22. How did they manage to rent a flat
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.04.12)
if they didn't have any Tudot to present to the landlord ? They are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ,not migrants
23. #18 Stude Ham - Easy to solve problem
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.04.12)
They are here without necessary permits, send them home We must control our own borders keeping infiltrators out How many have you invited for dinner tonight, last week, last month ? Start with #1 and work your way up
24. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.04.12)
Did I miss the part where Canada threw open its borders to East African drunken and diseased "refugees?" Who would have thought that Canada would miss such a wonderful opportunity to populate its seriously underpopulated country? C'mon, man. Give these East Africans a home. Your country is certainly big enough. Why are you holding back so delicately? So quick to criticize ... show us how it's supposed to be done, why don't you? Let's have a little more action, and a little less babble, from Canada. Ahh. The silence is deafening. Not your problem, eh? Well, not Israel's, either. You're just a run-of-the-mill mealy-mouthed idiot, aren't you? So quick to blame. So slow to praise. Canada has PLENTY of room. Why have you done nothing?
25. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.04.12)
Well, we can always put the illegal African so-called "refugees" on the first plane to Britain. It was the British who created most of the problems in Africa. Why not step up and undo the mess that you made? Gee -- just a fraction of what it is costing the U.K. to put on that ridiculous show to "honor" Elizabeth Battenberg would do wonders for these diseased and depraved Africans. So -- step up and be counted.
26. Please tell me.........
patrick a .hammel ,   zermatt,switzerland   (06.04.12)
that Jews did not do this,but if they did,find them and hang them! please tell me......that Arabs did not do this,but if they did,find them and hang them! please tell me.....paraphrasing Assad:not even monsters could have done this,but if they have,find them and hang them! Whatever and whoever,on top of Mount Cervin, one can see the disintegration of the moral values of the Jewish state followed by the slow disintegration of the state itself like a deck of cards.... Save Israel by acting like "MENSCH" each and everyone !!! Now !!!
27. #25 What a bitter and twisted....
Robert ,   Australia   (06.04.12)
.....old woman you are. Some peoples have evolved over the centuries and atoned for their earlier misdeeds, I don't know about yours.
28. #19 Being an aboriginal....
Robert ,   Australia   (06.04.12)
.....I am quite aware of my status in Australia. What about yours in America? Maybe you should ask your indigenous population.
29. Stop horrible behaviour right now !
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.04.12)
We can ban foreign infiltrators ,but not this way .Please... ZERO tolerance for nazi behaviour !
30. Migrant's home torched
Alan ,   Tel Aviv   (06.04.12)
To Sarah B. In England, we would call you a "Twat". Talk about the fact that the Govt will send the bodies of mass murderers back to the Palestinians, and negotiate with people who despise you. No,no,no, that is less important than being a racist "Twat"
