2. Protester hold cardboard
(12.29.13)
saying QUOTE: ONE WORLD, ONE FAMILY, EQUAL RIGHT, and I say Equal right in your own country. Go Home where you came from. If you want to stay in Israel go through the legal system
3. I was under the impression that once...
Malone ,   Hfx   (12.29.13)
...they left their country,crossed the border into Egypt,then that is where they should seek asylum,not crossing another border into Israel...is it not the first country they "illegally" enter that should provide asylum? I think so..
4. No choice but to deny
Cameron ,   USA   (12.29.13)
To do otherwise is to march toward cultural & state collapse.
5. We should give merciful refuge to....
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (12.29.13)
the Afrikaaners who are facing quasi genocide. Lots of high quality persons in that demographic; why should USA & Canada receive all the best stuff?
6. Facts
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.29.13)
Long on emotion; short on facts. Most of these Africans are layabouts, and are not in the least bit interested in working. They're drunks and drug addicts. None have taken advantage of language classes. They steal, and set up rickety stands selling the goods that they have stolen. They mug, rape, panhandle and threaten with alacrity. They threaten and terrify the elderly. They are not refugees (having crossed more than one border) and should be sent to the refugee camps maintained in Africa by the United Nations. Israel is not a dumping ground for lazy, disaffected Africans. Let the United Nations do its job.
7. A physical threat to Jews
Ron ,   os us   (12.29.13)
The illegal African/Moslems could have gone to any number of Islamic and or African states but they went where the economy is better. These are not the Jews of 1939, not close.
8. asylum seekrs
jenifer ,   jerusalem, Israel   (12.29.13)
go elsewhere-not here in Israel! go to your brothers land
9. Stop running, go back and fix up your country.
The Red Fox ,   Brisbane, Australia   (12.30.13)
The Israelis fixed up theirs and look at it now. A pearl of a country. Sheyamutu hakana'im!
10. 8
jonathan ,   adelaide/Israel   (12.30.13)
Exactly right-but remember that there are greedy Israelis who want cheep labour.No body should employ them then they might go elsewhere.They are not refugees so away with them.
11. ofcourse it is
rm ,   NL Amsterdam   (12.30.13)
when it comes to getting them out all the gloves are off in Israel. Not racist you understand...just demographics....( ahem)
12. Post Shoah Disgusting
Zechariah   (12.30.13)
It's enough that Israel insulted the holocaust survivors with Sadism having failed to kill the Nazis Leadership Pre-emptively that they now make trouble for Africans because they are black and of a different culture.Sure there are criminals and sadists among them they deserve incarceration but not all of them . Thorough assessment on a case by case basis is just .
13. The main problem is the cult of islam..
Beary White ,   Norway   (12.30.13)
The Islamic cult and their ideology is raging the northern Africa.. By killing and slaughtering they sent scores of people out in despair from their home country. Even being of "wrong" islamic faith, sunni/shia creates numbers of refugees. And NOBODY in the world can deny that the evil cult of islam is the manifestation of murder, rape and evilness. What kind of evilness have been going on during the blanket of arab spring?? Death, rape, torture and murdering. In this way, islam is forcefully spread into civilized countries, where soon new riots will be started when sharia-laws are brought into societies. Bye the way, a CEO in the biggest mosk in Oslo, CJAS, Imam Neh­mat Ali Shah. and leading member of the board, Gulham Sarwar blames the jews for controlling the Norwegian media... The fact is indeed opposite as the norwegian media is almost 100% controlled by the leftist, but it clearly reveals the brainwash of even imams who teaches the great masses... The last question could be, why aren't islamic refugees welcome in their respective countries of same faith??
14. ASYLUM SEEKERS
Benjamin Goldstein ,   USA   (12.30.13)
While I believe in helping those who truly are fleeing persecution and death, I doubt that this is the case with the African "INFILTRATORS". If they were truly seeking refuge, why pass through another country (Egypt)to infiltrate illegally Israel? Why wasn't another Muslim country acceptable to them? They are Muslims themselves also. It's clear that a "monetary" reason was the true case in this matter, not to seek refuge from persecution as claimed. I think that the countries who find Israel's decision of deporting them, should take up their cause and invite them into their own countries to settle. Perhaps those on the left of the political divide can sponsor them and give them shelter in their homes. Why not? This gesture will show the rest of the world that they actually "do" what they demand Israel "to do". Another words, they can actually put their own money where their mouths and political views are.

18. #3
jo moor   (12.30.13)
Your impression is correct.
19. If only.....
(12.30.13)
If only 50,000 to 60,000 Jews would want to move here!! The way things look now, mostly non-Jews want to make aliyah!!
20. Israel is not their country.
Reuven   (12.30.13)
21. mercy to refugees
chana abraham ,   Givatayim, Israel   (12.30.13)
