1. The Sudanese prefer Israel over Arab countries.
Daisy ,   USA   (05.30.06)
I want the Israeli haters to explain this. If Israel i so racist then why are Africans risking their lives to go there. It's actually the Arab countries who are the most racist against Black people and everyone else.
2. save heaven
gabriela ben ari   (05.30.06)
I hope Israel helps them out un the most humane possible way. They went through a lot
3. Have the Shin Bet interview them
Jenny   (05.30.06)
and if they pose no threat (as I'm sure they don't) allow them to settle in Israel. It is only 200 people. I think the Yad Vashem director is correct, we cannot stand idly by while others escaped to our country from genocide.
4. we have to accept the Sudanese refugees

5. #1 - The Muslims are slaughtering the Africans there
Scott ,   Haifa   (05.30.06)
They call it a north / south war, but basically it is a Muslim government wholesale slaughtering the down-and-outers mercilessly, which of many are Christians. From Fox news reports, the government bombs their camps, then soldiers kill and rape them in their scattered onclaves. They know what happens when Muslim Arabs take over, that's why they choose Israel. I think we should open our hearts to them, they have no place else to go. They are coming to us for mercy, God forbid we turn them away. At least those who risk their lives to come here...they know why they are coming...they are looking for mercy. They are not our enemy.

NP ,   Israel   (05.30.06)
I agree with every word! Well done!
7. #5 & #6 you forgot one major thing...
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (05.30.06)
The "northern" govt army is Arab complete with its official army and "unoficial" arab militias. The "southern" rebels on the opposing side are Black Africans and they are the ones who are being ethnically cleansed and murdered in their millions by the Arab government of Sudan. By the way, the Black Africans are not all Christians either, many are Moslem but that means nothing to the racist Arabs. Its straight forward murder of Blacks by Arabs because they are black and no other reason. Disgusting.
8. STOP SUDAN'S JIHAD SLAVERY and GENOCIDE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.30.06)
Bible, Leviticus 24:17 "If a man takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death" Black Africans are the indigenous people of Sudan and are the majority population. The black Southern Sudanese Christians explain what "peace" means: If you agree to become a Muslim, you will have peace. If you reject Islam, you are at war. From 1955-1973, 1.5 million Christians were slaughtered by the Arab Muslim government in Khartoum. From 1983-2005, two million more Christians died from Khartoum's jihad. Murdering infidels is not considered a crime. Non-Muslim infidels are regarded as not entitled to human rights. Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been raped. Hundreds of thousands of Christian children and women taken for slaves. In the refugee camps, the Islamo-Fascist religious supremacist Khartoum government requires refugees to become Muslims in order to receive food and water. The genocide has resulted in the largest population of refugees on earth since the Second World War. The jihad in Sudan against Darfur's black African Muslims by Khartoum's racist Arab Muslim regime began in 2003. 400,000 black Muslims are dead. STOP Genocide - STOP Slavery - FREE the Slaves http://www.iabolish.org/ Bible, Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death"
9. refugees
someone ,   TA   (05.30.06)
Working myself with refugees, it is essential to determine if these are political refugees or if they are economical refugees. If they came from Sudan through Egypt to Israel then they are usually economical refugees and I believe they should be sent back to Egypt.
10. Sudanese Refugees should be helped
Brod ,   USA   (05.30.06)
Israel should determine if the Sudanese refugees are Christian Africans fleeing the persecutions and the genocides inflicted on them by the Arab Islamist-Jihadist Janjaweed Al Queda terrorists. If they are, they should be helped, trained in bearing arms in defending their homeland in Darfur--Southern Sudan. They should then be transported back to a secure place in Darfur to repulse the terrorists and regain their homeland. If the West cannot send forces to help the millions of Christian Africans in Darfur/Southern Sudan who have suffered the Holocaust in their homeland , they can help the survivors by training and arming them to fight for their security, existence and independence. The West has done this for the Kurds, Kosovars and the Bosnians. Surely, the West can help the persecuted African Christians in Darfur defend their homeland. Failure to do so will only embolden Al Queda terrorists to spread their tentacles and conquer Africa into their sphere of influence.
11. I honestly think Israel has a LOT of problems
keren ,   sao paulo   (05.31.06)
already. I guess Israel should do its best in finding a good solution for them, but not keeping them in Israel more than the needed time untill the solution is found. I think-specially if they are politics refugees-they will became a big problem to Israel.
12. Rivera's indigenous people
Rustum ,   London, UK   (05.31.06)
You said: "Black Africans are the indigenous people of Sudan and are the majority population. " I think you meant to add: "Arab Palestinians are the indigenous people of Palestine and are the majority population. "
13. 12
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (05.31.06)
Its easy to see who lived in Israel first. Just go to Jerusalem and look at the Western Wall of the 2nd temple. Its built below the Al Aksa mosque. Also, if we the Jews are not indigenous to Israel then how do you explain the Hebrew scrolls? Discovered hidne in caves and traced back thousands of years ago written in the same language of the Jewish People; Hebrew. You cant argue with this my English friend and neither do you have the right to try... your whole country is built on money from the slavery of our black brothers and sisters from Africa.
14. #12, and #13...ewwwwwww
Scott ,   Haifa   (06.01.06)
Right on Gil... Rustum....ewwwww.... Silenced! Your thought life is grounded in fantasy. There's something called the bible you know...a history of the Jewish people...being in Israel for about 6000 years, being scattered, and then God's promises of returning them and restoring them to the land. If you want to argue about it, go argue with the God of Israel.
15. 14
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (06.01.06)
Scott right on my brother and Chag Sameach! English people should face up to their blood soaked guilty history. Native American Indians, Australian Aborignes, the green light given to Hitler to gas 6 million, Chinese, Indians, Africans, Jamaicans in London... where and when does the injustic and racial persecution stop? Israelites stand proud and united you can't step on us anymore English hypocrite.
16. Sudanese refugees to israel
Alma ,   California, USA   (06.08.06)
Why do you shrink from telling the world that the genocide in Sudan is perpetrated by Arabs against black Africans? Blacks are targetted whether they are moslem or not, and no major news outlet is honest enough to say so.
17. If Isael help the sudanese refugees
Taidor ,   juba, south Sudan   (05.26.08)
I am asylum seeker in israel and I do really want israel to protect me and show away so we be friends for ever.
18. our brothers in humanity
IBN O ALI ,   DENVER   (10.31.09)
Yes, please, help these refugees and all other refugees including the Arab Palastine refugees who also prefer this land to arabs'. This is a humanitarian work, so do not discriminate betwen humans on basis of ethnicity, religion or gender.
