1. Send the bloody lot back
Sid ,   London   (01.05.14)
We are a Jewish state not a dumping ground for the worlds refugees - nobody cares about Jewish refugees - so they should go elsewhere out of our country which the world considers we are not entitled to.
2. on the hebrew site the title says "Infiltrators"
Misleading title   (01.05.14)
they're Infiltrators and not refugess, they're job seekers, 90% of them are men if not more, out of the refugee requests sent to the UN only less than 1% were recognized as refugees. They dont want to stay in "Holot" facility and get food because they want to go out and work, very simple.
3. Israelis should assume their choices
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (01.05.14)
You wanted a capitalistic country with a liberal economy so this is one of the direct results. No one wants to work cheaply and only migrants are willing to do these jobs no one wants to do. It's the same in every capitalistic country.
4. If Israelis would take care of their elderly, babysit their
Rivkah   (01.05.14)
children, clean their own homes and yards, they would not have this danger in their midst, just like the Germans who let the Turks do their scut work have endangered themselves. As Angela Merkel says, Multi-culturalism does not work. Better to have a smaller home and do your own housework and cooking and yard work than to invite danger into the nation with foreigners who will not be assimilated by personal choice.
5. And in Eilat we use them as workers
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.05.14)
everyday for lower salary...
6. These numbers are staggering ! Had no idea
miri ,   israel   (01.05.14)
that so many Africans had crossed our border. Send them off with some compensation - not by the hundreds but by the thousands.
7. The first country they entered must give them
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (01.05.14)
asylum.Thats not Israel i would guess Egypt.In any event they're muslims
8. Free deportation
Aria ,   NYC/TLV   (01.05.14)
What would happen if Israeli authority just put them on planes and deported them just like US does with illegal immigrants. UN will 'condemn' UN already condemns us so what? If US can do it why cant Israel? My husbands company can provide its jet for this purpose for free just to get them out of Israel.
9. Israel is becoming more and more like the UK
(01.05.14)
10. I wonder how many Israeli girls like to date them?
DR Pumpernickel ,   Pumenstein   (01.05.14)
I wonder how many Israeli girls like to date African Illegals??
11.  This is the U.N.with complicity of Europe
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (01.05.14)
along with Israeli Leftists to turn Israel into a multinational non Jewish State
12. Unchained
Shmuel. L. Jackson ,   London UK   (01.05.14)
They can settle along the Gaza border, and see how it feels to be israeli
13. Y Net posters told you so many years ago.You got problems!
Alan ,   SA   (01.05.14)
14. And I always thought the film "ZULU" with its sound, scary
Alan ,   SA   (01.05.14)
15. Time to start deporting them back, now.
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (01.05.14)
Of course life isn't easy in any African country, but it is not up to us to take them in. Just because Eritrea is a dictatorship, so are most developing countries. It's now reason they can't be sent back.
16. Mob rule
Mike Caton ,   vestal, NY USA   (01.05.14)
While mob rule is normal and OK for the Arab/Muslim countries (see "Arab Spring") it should not be tolerated in Israel where these problems are solved only by the parliamentary process.
17. perhaps they can be useful
hy   (01.05.14)
If there are say 100,000 infiltrators, why not offer them a deal. In return for temporary visas with some benefits, they would learn hebrew, convert to judaism and do some mine clearing, fencing and other operations. if not, throw them the hell out of the country.
18. "We are not workers"
Sergio ,   Spain   (01.05.14)
Most of the infiltrators are young men... The typical profile of an immigrant worker. Most of them are not asylum seekers but immigrant workers.
19. Send them home now...
Enuff is Enuff   (01.05.14)
20. Camp of the Saints - 1971- Jean Raspail
Steve ,   Palm Beach, U.S.A.   (01.05.14)
Very prescient novel.
21. # 10 Why?
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.05.14)
Are you having trouble finding a date?
22. Sick of the Kahanists
Daniel   (01.05.14)
The tiny but vocal group of racist extremists that spend their days spamming Ynet with their hatred apparently think nobody not sharing our religion should be allowed in. We've heard that argument before, when the world shut its borders for us. Most Israelis are better than that, but but the frequent talkbackers here apparently aren't.
23. Islam is the problem..
Beary White ,   Norway   (01.05.14)
Their violent and deadly brutality produces millions of islamic-cult-followers. This is the only way the islamic cult can spread, by violence and death to others. Islamic refugees should be sent to countries where they are welcome.; Islamic shiit sent to shiit countries.. Islamic sunnis sent to sunni countries.. Islamic terrorists should be sent to OBL to keep the heat ongoing..
24. Bound wrists gesture, a "Quenelle" for Black "infiltrators"
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.05.14)
25. So what if we are "Jewish" state?
Jewish Patriot ,   Galut   (01.05.14)
Then other nations can kick us too? There is only England, France, etc in the world... we were so proud to tell the world that we accepted refugees during darfur genocide, but now we kick them...let's not be hypocrites, the ones who just want aid, and cannot be integrated should be deported, but not entire families etc... also there are many Ethiopean Jews, and it is impossible to tell a difference between them or an Eritrean. It can be a problem, so dont kick these poor people, show the world, how Israel is good etc
26. Deport every single one
Avner ,   Tel Aviv   (01.05.14)
They are being organized by Soros funded NGOs.
27. lucky for Bibi they are not voters & voters want them gone
zionist forever   (01.05.14)
It doesn't matter how many of them come out protesting they are not Israeli citizens so they do not have a right to vote. If they can't vote the government doesn't have to worry about what they demand, what Bibi does have to be concerned about is the fact the majority of the voting public on both the left and right want then gone. They are not only here illgally but they have the cheek to moan about the fact they are being kept in an open detention centre. Think its some kind of violation of their human rights and we owe them homes & jobs.
28. protest of african intransients in Israel
jenifer ,   jerusalem, Israel   (01.05.14)
This would have been a good opportunity to gather them up at once and send them home-we don't want them nor need them in Israel!
29. Doesn't their sign say enough?
A ,   Belgium   (01.05.14)
"We are not workers." So what do they have to contribute to Israel? Nothing! Get rid of them!
