1. Bibi: Now they have truned to Al Jazeera to vilify Israel!
Proud Israeli ,   Israel   (01.26.14)
Anyone who watches the international media available in Israel will have seen the promo on Al Jazeera English in which these "Asylum Seekers" are using their "cause" to further hatred against Israel on a TV channel which never misses an opportunity to bash Israel in spite of the brutality in the Arab World against its own citizens including its home base country, Qatar, which has a dismal human rights record, no gender equality, no gay rights, enforces the Death Penalty for a number of offenses including Apostasy, the formal disaffiliation from or abandonment or renunciation of a religion by a person! Tonight, according to Israel Channel 2 News, the Ministry of Health has announced that so far 160 "Asylum Seekers" are HIV Positive and all we get are promises from Prime Minister Netanyahu "to remove the migrants". If Israel, for some legal reason or other excuse, cannot deport these people they MUST be interned at Holot Detention Center. It should be noted that the the United Kingdom has 13 Detention Centers, house almost 40,000 illegals. The United States has over 200 such centers, jail and prisons in which children too are detained! Australia, a country which has some of the strictest immigration laws in the "civilized world" simply ships the "illegals" to Papua New Guinea and other detention centers in spite of undertaking to end its policy on asylum seekers in 2008! Except for the odd moan and groan by various NGO's, nothing is said about these and numerous other countries' policies towards "illegals" but, as usual, Israel is subjected to "special treatment" by a hostile international press and NGO;s that are in the pocket of Arab/Muslim countries which have no human or civil rights and treat the own people with the brutality of regimes and potentates in the Dark Ages!

The infiltrators are illegal and are a demographic, security and economic burden for thevJewish state. This will only encourage more illegals to come and squat.
3. they come illegally & we give them each $3500 to leave
zionist forever   (01.26.14)
4. #3: $3,500! Look what we pay our politicians!
Reader ,   Israel   (01.26.14)
Eli Yishai, once again, failed the country, and now we are paying for his failure. Last time it cost 42 lives. How long will it take until we start paying for this in lives due to crime? Yes, these people are human beings and MUST be treated as such and SENT HOME! If they are "Refugees" the the UN must handle the mess!
5. Simple! Return them to Sinai!

6. Israel must learn to prevent rather than remedy.
(01.26.14)
This problem could have been avoided since long time . When there were only a dozen illegals, measures should have been taken. At least this be a lesson.
7. "Undesirables" put in concentration camps. Sound familiar?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.26.14)
8. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.26.14)
Yes. It sounds just like what the United States has done to native Americans. Eritreans and Sudanese are free to return to Eritrea and the Sudan. They are not, after all, Israeli. Like all sovereign states, Israel has the absolute right to determine which non-citizens may and may not reside within its borders. What's America's excuse for penning native Americans on reservations? Learn to look before you leap, sluggo.
9. #8, Gaza Strip concentration camp, like Indian reservations
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.26.14)
...is that what you mean?
10. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.26.14)
Well, isn't your question better directed to Hamas? They're in charge in Gaza, after all. So if the Gaza Strip is like a concentration camp (it isn't, however; there are no gas chambers and crematoria) -- Hamas is answerable. Try harder, sluggo. You'd do far better matching wits with me were you to find a way to grow six additional, working, brains. With very high IQs.

In my country, Belgium, all legal and illegal migrant that apply for asylum are put in what you call a concentration camp. They have no right to work. Same in other European countries. I suppose Europe is "controlled" by the Zionists.
