1. Don't protest!! Invite one or a whole family of
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.25.12)
infiltrators to come live with you!!! They get to stay, it will clean up South Tel Aviv, keep all the right-wingers quiet and NOT COST THE GOVERNMENT ANYTHING! Why aren't liberal leftists doing this?
2. Could we make exceptions...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.25.12)
for the excellent elements?
3. For the record ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.25.12)
.... this daughter of Jewish Holocaust survivors would rather see the millions spent on criminal Africans going to the care of Holocaust survivors. I guess when all else fails, try and twing the strings of Jewish Holocaust survivors. Shame on the leftist idiots for even trying such a sham. They must be desperate. Please find me one -- just one -- Jewish Holocaust survivor that thinks that the sexual assault by an illegal African of a fifteen year old Jewish girl is somehow related to the Holocaust. Wow! The leftists are really running out of ammunition, but this is a particularly disgraceful low. I invite all those passionate lefties to bring as many illegal African criminals into their home. Teach them how to act like civilized human beings (good luck with that one!). Or -- better yet -- accompany them on their return to their African homes and teach them there. 'Bye. Have a nice flight.
4. the government doesn't plan to deport legitimate refugees
zionist forever   (07.25.12)
People who are here illegally as economic migrants or people from countries where it is now safe to return to are going to be deported. The real refugees from places like Eritrea where its to dangerous to send them home much to the sadness of the residents of Tel Aviv they are not being deported. If the Holocaust survivors are worried about legitimate refugees who are not being deported anyway then they have nothing to worry about. If their concern is over economic migrants well being a Holocaust survivor doesn't give you the moral authority to say don't deport them.

Yossi ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (07.25.12)
You didn't read the part on the Facebook comments, huh? They don't care about crime or welfare, these are just crazy Rightists screaming at clouds about the usual DEMOGRAPHIC THREATS TO THE JEWISHNESS OF MUH ISRAEL. Anyone who isn't a pure-blooded Jew, is bad and needs to leave, no matter how much he migh be able to possible contribute to Israeli society. But of course, that's not racism. It's different. Don't ask me how, I can't explain it, but apparently according to the right it's different.
6. I will be there
jay abouaf ,   Jaffa, Israel   (07.25.12)
Jewish character? jewish character consists of "remembering you were strangers in a foreign land" NOT xenophobia
7. There is only one Jewish state.
Reuven   (07.25.12)
The illegal infiltrators are out to destroy it!
8. I agree with #1
(07.25.12)
All of the people who are against deporting the infiltrators should invite one African family to live with them in their home. On another point: Most of the infiltrators are Eritrean and according to international law, cannot be sent back to their own country. This means that the majority of the 60,000 (at least) will have to stay here, and that does endanger the Jewishness of the State of Israel - our one and only Jewish state in the whole world. They could go to other countries, but no one else wants them either.
9. Jewish state saved your remnants
Tambour ,   eilat   (07.25.12)
do not harm the Jewish state
10. they must protest for all
Jeff ,   Tel Aviv   (07.25.12)
I'm just wondering ..or maybe a logic..most holocaust survivor today were being cared by caregivers mostly Filipinos. ..and during holocaust Philippines opens it's door to atleast 1 thousand Jewish people..why is it that a lot of filipino children were already deported and they (holocaust survivor) did not protest for them? and here comes illegal migrant which the government even spending money for them were being benifited?or being protest with? try to think of it..
11. #6 - are you religious? Is that the exact translation...
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.25.12)
of that quote and the exact meaning of that verse?
12. DEMOGRAPHIC SUICIDE
AMERICAN HINDU ,   USA   (07.25.12)
Israel seems bent on committing DEMOGRAPHIC SUICIDE. Treat these economic migrants well, then send them back. Or else you stand to lose the only country you have.
13. no 3
jj   (07.25.12)
sarah, you talk about exploitation of holocaust survivors to get your point across, but thats basically what youre trying to do, opening up your tastful talkback with "this daughter of Jewish Holocaust survivors". if you see exploitation of the shoah as a shameful thing, then shame on you. just say you hate immigrants and want your land to be clean. you wouldnt be the first or the last xenophobe on earth. i know, i know, theyre all unwashed, filthy criminal, subhumans who should all just be sent back wherever they cam from. outstanding point of view. outstanding. dehumanisation of an entire group of people, labelling them as criminals and carriers of disease really is nothing new for our doomed species. thanks for making sure it perpetuates.
14. to comments 3 and 4:
J. Gedalov ,   Israel   (07.25.12)
It seems Sarah B. and Zionist Forever are socialist in their nature... both deliberately are hidden true facts about holocaust survivors money. who thinks holocaust survivors protested against Ben Gurions goverment decades ago because they didnt have nothing better to do? David B.Gurion used survivors money to buy and sell military equiment, and ironically with the German goverment. Probably my comment have nothing to do with the protest in tel aviv, but call me an opportunist for replying to you two. Shalom
15. Netanyahu had better tread carefully
Sarah B (No not her)   (07.25.12)
The holocaust survivors are the reason that the State of Israel exists. As for the millions spent on refugees been spent instead on the Holocaust survivors. The money paid to the Haredi to read a book rather than serve their country should be redirected to help them. They can study the book at weekends like many normal decent people do whilst holding down a fulltime job. A country is measured by how it treats the weak and vulnerable at the moment my government is being found wanting
16. Victims
michael Pielet ,   israel   (07.25.12)
Just because you were a survivor, victim, does mean you have any sachel, brains. Deport all illegal migrants, immediately or watch the Jewish state be destroyed.
17. Jewish state
roger ,   zurich switzerland   (07.25.12)
It really doesn't matter if Israel is a Jewish state. Just ask Theodore Herzl.
18. African invaders have nothing in commun...
Phoenix ,   Israel   (07.25.12)
African illegals have nothing in cummon with European Jews! The German Jews were not illegals ; were German citizens. African infiltrators are not Israelis; are entering our home illegally like thieves ; usin the services that we pay with our taxes, creating crime, making streets dirty and insecure. All Africans must be deported cause they are here breaking our laws. Also all illegals from Asia and south America must leave our land. Tel-aviv doesn't belong to Israelis anymore but to illegal intruders from third world Africa and other places. Out all of them!
19. #15 - SAY WHAT?
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.25.12)
"The holocaust survivors are the reason that the State of Israel exists". THAT is pure poop. Ben-Gurion, Jabotinsky, and all the original settlers of the land existed long before the Holocaust. As for the UN, its the VICTIMS of the Holocaust that are the reason that the State of Israel exists. NOT THE SURVIVORS! Most of them, like my ex-inlaws ALL opted for America and Canada. Very few survivors came here. Also, read the latest statistics - not what YNET wants you to believe. 55% of Heredim already work full-time jobs. That's not far behind the National Average of 63%! Get your facts straight before you open your mouth!!!! And no, you don't measure up to "her"!
20. Reply to 15: mind where you tread
J.Gedalov ,   Israel   (07.25.12)
Ask to Iran why the Ayatollah bought from Israel military armament decades ago if he considere Israel as an enemy. Conclusion: you have the goverment you deserve. have a nice day
21. To: No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.25.12)
For the record, my parents (z"l) never accepted reparation payments. Believe it or not, not everything is about money. My wonderful father had it about right: what the Germans took away from him could never be repaid. I regret very deeply that for you, it all boils down to cash. Shame on you.
22. Migrants?
Adam ,   Thornhill   (07.25.12)
Lets get real on the subject of these so called migrants. Thousands of these migrants are arriving monthly in Israel. These so called migrants are all Muslims and the majority are young men. Why doesn't Israel just welcome them on arrival with guns and ammunition. Are we really this crazy letting in all these illegal migrants that have no place in Israel.in the first place .Why don't we just hand them the keys to the kingdom? How come they are not seeking refugee status in Egypt or Jordan? Open your eyes people and ask why they are really coming to Israel for in the first place.
23. What?! Are you being deceived?
rinah   (07.25.12)
Holocaust survivors marching with migrant workers?! These are all over the world!! Wake up before it's too late.
24. To No.6 Shame on You using Phrases of the bible to extrapol
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (07.25.12)
Yes were were starnger in other lands and the result was not good in Egypt they ensalve us. As for the Diasporas I dont have to tell you the results of persecution during the last 2000. Years, that we were stargers. Today a lot of people in Europe are already sorry there is an Israel. They prefer the Palestinians. Nevertheless when Moshe Rabeinu and Yoshua had to deal with the Amonites and other Nations from Canaan, Hashem told them to destroy them because they were bad seed. These refuges have become a nusanse to South Tel Aviv. Many of them are criminals. We extend the hand and they pay back in a horrible manner. Would you have them in your House live with them ? Don't think so. So shut up an be consequent with your words.
25. To No 15 Not Sara B. Israel was created INSPITE OF THE HOLOC
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (07.25.12)
Learn these words" Inspite of the Holocaust". Palestine had all the infrastructure for the future Jewish State... When we were promised a Jewish land with the Balfour Declaration alredy many had made Aliah and even before the Zionist Congress Jews were already building cities like Petah Tikva and Rishon. Jerusalem way before 1850 had a Jewish Mayority.. After the Dreyfus affair Hertzel understood thet the only place for Jews will be in a Jewish State, Despite the Religious oposition at the time . The Ishuv headed by Ben Gurion ran way before 1948 like the practicall government The Holocaust maybe hurried up a lttle but it was coming anyway. Nevertheless the English gave a hud about it , and sent survivors of the Holocaust to concentration camps in Cyprus with the beneplacid of many countries, Even the States closed an eye on this. They also closed their doors to Jewish emigration during the Holocaust. Remember the St, Lois, Rememeber the Exodus? So remember this well Israel was created Inspite of the Holocaust
26. 5 Yossi.it is a very complicated issue.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.25.12)
Among the infiltrators there are many enemies.
27. The Problem
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (07.25.12)
The refugee issue all around the world is a real problem. People who promote open borders do not really understand the concept of sovereignty. There is a limit to how many people a space can hold at a certain economic juncture. With a home, nation state of kingdom there should be an orderly process whereby people are invited in. The attractions of the State of Israel to would be migrants is great thus the recent influx and growing social tensions. Jerusalem should be the centre of an expansive yet inclusive governance paradigm for all of the World. The African refugee/illegal immigrant problem in Israel is actually an opportunity for Israel to build connections with other nations. Citizens of African Nation States that are developing economically are less inclined to seek sanctuary elsewhere. The long-term view should be adopted.

les ,   canada   (07.25.12)
dear adam. your rethoric sounds wonderful. as long as you are living in your wonderful, immigenary, none existent world! have you bothered to take a good look round your country lately? how it is taken over by your beloved african "refugees/illegal immigrants". so thanks for your advise, BUT NO THANKS!
29. THESE DEPORTATIONS SMACK OF RACISM!
stude ham   (07.25.12)
it is frightening that israel would allow itself to descend into the dark unlit grottos of the racist ideologues.
30. to #21
J.Gedalov ,   Israel   (07.25.12)
This country, Israel, used for a long while money of the survivers to buy military equipment that help this country to defend himself from wars when Sara B. wasnt defending Israel in the net. it seems is not so important for you if ccording to politicians, excuse me! almost but not everything is about money. To say the contrary is like saying that Israel agrees to Un sanctions against Iran, but thats a waist of time. The problem with some people that like to comment about Israeli politics is that when something goes wrong they find quick to who blame for it, everything is because the leftist wings!
