31. a special case, for special consideration
Noam ,   Boca Raton, FL   (12.11.06)
Avraham, shame on you for your immediate hateful attitude of this refugees based on the fact that they are non-Jewish. Also, Toledo James, if you saw any domestic news of the Darfur rally last spring, you'd of seen that over 50% of the 20,000+ people there were Jewish and representing Jewish groups, coming in from all over the country. So we do care about other peoples' facing potential genocide or mass slaughter. Israel should take in several hundred of them, allowing the rest to be resettled in the West ( most their Arabic-speaking "brethren" will hardly tolerate them in their 22 countries). Israel has settled Muslim refugees before- from the Balkan conflict in the 1990s. Obviously it shoudn't become a magnet for the refugees to flee but taking in several hundred and integrating them as a distinct ethnic group in Israeli society wouldn't be so bad. And the thousands more after clearing security checks should be allowed to work and be treated humanely and equally under the law until they are arranged to be resettled in the immigrant-welcoming USA and European., Australia, Canada, and Latin America.
32. YES WAY #1
James McMamara ,   Broken Hill AUS.   (12.12.06)
We have enough goyim here,send them packing. Strangely enough this was also told to the Jews who fled the Nazi's. If Israel wants to be accepted as a humane society,it had better start behaving like one.
33. Refugee policy
Anna ,   Canada   (12.12.06)
Refugees of all sorts recognize Israel as a safe haven, and Israel has a policy, like other countries, that evaluates refugee claims. Unfortunately, if you you are a refugee from a declared enemy state, as Sudan is, it is a strike against you. That said, I am certain Israel will find a way to help these victims. There but for the grace of god...

david ,   Hk   (12.12.06)
you are just the kind of people i hate. You are the shame of our people.
35. REFUGEES FROM SUDAN
ANISE   (12.12.06)
Israel should take in the refugees in the short term , to save their lives . Feed and house them , but ensure that they find new homes in the US, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND. in the long term.
36. To Sean and Avraham
Marisa ,   New York, NY   (12.12.06)
Sean, I said "fundamentalists" in my talkback...in no place in there did i refer to all muslims. i said "those muslim monsters with machetes" refering clearly to the fundamentalists murdering the Sudanese... if you are going to criticize what i say, at least read what i write properly. Avraham, I am from Israel, I just go to university in the States.
37. to # 16
Marisa ,   New York, NY   (12.12.06)
Remember that Israel airlifted tens of thousands of BLACK ethiopian jews to israel in the 90's various times during Operation Moses, Joshua AND Solomon. so before you bring out the race card, avail yourself of this information.
38. to james 25
megi ,   london   (12.12.06)
i understand, but we jews have so many problems of our own how can we help other people. you say you love and support israel than why do you give israel and america SUCH HARD TIME and ignore muslims nations wrong doings. it doesnt make sense to me.
39. To No. 37, Marisa
NYC Girl   (12.12.06)
You're absolutely right, and Israel also rescued those Vietnamese boat people, years ago, when none of the surrounding Arab countries offered to help them.
40. #1
(12.12.06)
Your talkbacks are so vile that you sound more like some sort of provocateur than a real Israeli.
41. train them into a militia
fetik ,   california, usa   (12.12.06)
There's a simple solution for the male refugees -- train them into a militia, equip them for guerilla fighting, then airlift them home. In the meantime, feed, clothe, educate the families, while the men are liberating their homeland. When the familes go home they'll build a better country. We can do no less. And there's space in the Negev. The only difficulty is that this will be expensive. The only downside is that it will annoy and frighten arab governments. Wait- is that a downside??
42. To Megi #38
James ,   Toledo Ohio USA   (12.12.06)
I understand what you are saying, And I apologize to you and others who feel I am abrasively one sided. I'm sure the Ynet staff could confirm that this is not the case. I even offend some of the censures ... also PALS, Islamofascists, incompetent law enforcement, and Benny haters. Let me put it this way...there was armed resistance by jews in Europe during WW2. They are some of those who I highly admire and respect. Justice and mercy based on Gods word is the standard in both times of peace and war. The govt of Israel needs to change from a secular govt to one based on the principles of holy scriptures. Refugees in prison is totally contrary to that. Strangers and pilgrims have special protections and provision in the Torah. If those principles were adhered to there would be no news articles such as this particular one on Ynet. Have a fine day Megi and thank you for your reproof.
43. Israel Strangest behaviors
Amr sulman ,   Sudan   (12.14.06)
whatever happend Palastine is occupied land by Israeli people the problem in Darfur is not between Sudanese and its not a genocide its between the TRUE Sudanese and people from west african countries who lives there and they dont have the sense of belongings because its not their homeland I suggest for Israel to keep them because Sudan is only for sudanese
44. To #1 and everyone else
Uri ,   Tel-Aviv Israel   (03.14.08)
Avraham what nice name, because of people like you the world hates us. We can take the money that the Goim send from USA but we should not let the Goim live among us. You are a Bad man for saying that. Maybe only Goim should live in America? The whole world is goim. send all the Jews from the goim countries to Israel? We need to help these people and if more come we need to help them. we are people who love god and all of gods people. The world thinks that we abuse the Residents of Gaza when we do not, the media depicts this propaganda, we need to Stop hating and people will love us. Majority of israelis are good people who believe in human rights and soon things will get better for these people. right now the country is thinking about its own people, Avraham god is watching us behave.
45. To #15 and everyone else
Uri ,   Israel Gods land   (03.14.08)
Israel will release these people and help them thats what we are about, we are a good people, i have been in Gaza and We are not killing we are helping. we are doing what we can to help people even our enimies. I seen that when i was in the army. we try our best, we are only humans. We do not chop up arab solders and take thier bodies and and put them on television to show the world or cut their heads of like hamas, we imprison them and feed them and they live better in our prisons then back home. speaking from experinece and from the words of imprisoned arabs.
