Thus story is incomplete. Why are migrant families not interviewed, or parents from both sides of the issue? Why are children being held home? The reader must first assume racism or jingoistic attitudes towards non citizens. Is this the case? Why did it lead to a court case? What do the children of migrants do in other cities?

Roger in Zurich: How about you invite muslims from Sudan into your school. Why stop there... invite all Africans in to your pathetic city. It ain't racism - its nationalism. Every country has a right to decide WHO comes over its borders, WHO it pays to educate.

Israel you definitely won't reach a ripe old age with sentiment, hatred and feelings such as this. We know, the world knows and HaShem knows. This is beyond the initial stages of a sickness, this is and has become a chronic disease, a cancerous disease.

Poland did not lose its Polish identity; but the Jews lost their lives. Bad example. And before you spout “multicultural” again, reflect on how many “multicultural” anti-semites there are in the world. Some ‘multiculturalism’, hey? And those people are back in the stone age, not the XXI century. You would see them if you would open your eyes just a bit more.

....slightly useful, if the reporter talked to a few of these parents. 300 sets of Israeli parents agreeing on something?!? There must be a "Story behind the story"

I'm in deep pain for this type of behavior. It reminds me of the N word.

Deport all illegals from African that are the most problematic invaders and deport all illegals from Asia and Ex soviet Union as well. Israel for the People of Israel. The whole continent of Africa it's for Africans. They have nothing here.

but dont want their kids to attend school with their own kids! I am disgusted Throw the Eilat Hoteliers andRestauranteursin Jail and throw away the key

There is no mention in this article of what those parents have to say, so we know nothing of it. Israel has a long history of aiding Muslims in need but dare to refuse them once and the whole world cries racism. #16, their neighbor is Egypt. Ynet, publish what those parents have to say so we can have a real discussion here. It's too easy to make one sided journalism.

the parents are right to protest, these kids have no business going to school in Israel, they aren't Jews, and they are there illegally, Once people start standing up to the tyranny of the radical leftist supreme court, positive things will happen

Radical leftist supreme court? Geee just goes to show how clueless you are. I see all those judges wearing Kippahs are radical leftist are they? Quite frankly my dear its none of your bussiness you are a US Citizen not Israeli

“You shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt..." That didn't sound like a suggestion. Sounded like a commandment to me.

Whatever you think of their parents, these children - while they are here - have the right to be educated. You throw words around - illiterate, uneducated, medically compromised, infectious drunks - as if this applies to every single one of their parents. How do you know?? Have you met them all?? A reasonable policy to deal with those who are truly political refugees has to be created.

you are embarrassment. Shame on you

how many illegal Mexicans has the state of Texas returned to their home in Mexico?? Buzz off.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Israel is older than 4,000 years old. G-d chose Israel, you chose to go contrary to G-d. p.s do you have room for them in YOUR house???? Waiting for your liberal reply....

Put the family in a detention centre where they can be held whilst awaiting deportation when if it safe to return them home. In a detention centre they will be fed, get medical attention and have their own schools. Israeli parents are also happy because their school are not going to be overrun by the children or illegal migrants.

you know, the ones you sell tourists tickets to while your anti semitism has kept you one of the third world nations in Europe? Some Polish brass, Thomas and, I bet you Love Jesus, right???? Just hate Jews....More than shame on you, vengeance.

I doubt you are even Jewish much less Israeli

...it worked in Little Rock! Who needs democracy and freedom of association when you have a totalitarian government which can FORCE you to 'accept' non-whites?

The have returned nearly enough and our crime rate shows it! HOWEVER, we DO NOT treat their children like trash! We pay for their education not only thru high school but also college! They get laptops and other aids that our own children do not get. Now, even if your sorry excuse for an argument were even close to valid, 2 wrongs don't make a right! Treating children that way is WRONG no matter what country it is in! So YOU buzz off & find a better argument!
