and Germany !!!
32. Bli neder I Will Complain to the IDF
Brana Lobel ,   Israel   (04.22.07)
As an oleh I have seen unanticipated hostility particularly from younger people and from people in service positions. Whatever level of truth is in this article the charges should be complained about to the IDF, investigated, and corrected. There is no room for sadism and group bullying in the land of Israel; these are the actions of Sodom and when historically they were also the actions of a tribe of Israel, they were roundly punished. There is no room and there is no excuse.
33.  'Mihveh Alon' 2
oleh oleh ve-nafal ,   LA   (04.22.07)
Its totally true , went through the same course in the Army – I was joining the Army to be part of something that I felt was going To unite me with other soldiers that came from around the world to contribute to our country, what I found at 'Mihveh Alon' was A bunch of trouble makers. There was about 3 guys from France 2 from the US and 60 from Russia…Not that I am a racist or anything But the Russians are animals plain and simple from their table manners to basic discipline normal humans have . they stick together like everyone are out to get them . Not all just 90 percent of them. It’s a shame that they ruin it for the guys that want to give the army a bit of themselves
34. Russian Anti Semites
marlene ,   Israel   (04.22.07)
Out of all these replies only Number 18 made sense. Russian Anti Semites, Anti Jewish in Israel send them straight back to Russia.
35. # 1 2 3 4
Israel   (04.22.07)
You are all Morons. Complete and total Morons.
36. Typical Russian behaviour
Talula ,   Israel   (04.22.07)
These are NOT Jewish soldiers. These are freeloaders that came to Israel for what they could get. Simply kick them back to Russia. We don't need such vile behaviour from these low lives.
37. israel, are you sleeping ??!
stephane ,   france   (04.22.07)

38. Independence day
israeli   (04.22.07)
What a joke ! We still don't know how to place a rocket on these Russian's asses out of here The only rockects seculars like are Qassams obviously "prison term" for such montrous offence - !!!! i
39. IDF
Linda ,   Texas, USA   (04.22.07)
Although not Jewish, even I know there is something very, very wrong about having Jew-haters in the IDF in the State of Israel. It is a cancer that must be removed. How could a Jewish resident ever be able to trust one of these members of the IDF? Israel, please correct this horrible mistake and make sure your people are properly protected.
40. i'm so upset to read this...

41. THEY CANT POSSIBLY BE JEWS - KICK THEM OUT OF COUNTRY
Andrew ,   Miami,fl   (04.22.07)
42. Not al russians are jews
Dan ,   Haifa   (04.22.07)
A lot of the russians in Israel aren't jewish and are neo-nazis. They came to Israel when the USSR fell because Israel is the west and here every one of them got a Free Car and a Free House (Not kidding, it was the law). I have a russian friend (Jewish) and while I was walking with him a few russians (old women) spoke about us and said "Idiot jews, they should all die", he told me that that's what they said and I was schocked. It has happened to me more than once....
43. The Russian army is terrible!
David ,   Norway   (04.22.07)
They just continue the behaviour of the Russian army, where hundreds of soldiers die each year because of abuse. Soldiers in IDF should either swear allegiance to the Jewish nation with all their heart and sould, or leve ASAP.
44. IDF base with Rusiian anti smeites
Kemp ,   Nahariya Israel   (04.22.07)
Absolutely inexcusable ! The IDF should act. There should be extensive prison sentences and immediate deportation thereafter. Furthermore an inquiry should be held as to how these Russians entered Israel. Never mind if they had a "25 imes removed cousin who might have been quarter Jewish."
45. You stupid racists
Vladimir ,   Haifa   (04.22.07)
Listen you bastards, all my friends were in the army and went to the Lebanon War. Percent of "russians" in combat units is higher than their weight in the population. Do you think these people who fight for the country enjoy hearing that they are not as equal as Jews because some incidents occur? If my friends father is Jew (but not mother) does it make him less citizen?
46. No wonder Russians aren't too well liked
Shoshana   (04.22.07)
There are millions of Russian-speaking Jews who are loyal and happy in Israel and couldn't imagine life anywhere else. Then there are the goys who are there simply because it suck(s)(ed) to be in Russia... They should be dealt with strictly, threatened to be deported, and expelled if they continue with anti-semetic behavior. Maybe Israelis who love the country will take their jobs then.
47. antisemitism in the Army
michael ,   jerusalem   (04.22.07)
THe Soknut is to blame. The agency officials are interested in numbers only and are ready to bring here neo-Nazis just to keep their warm work places. I myself witnessed how the compaign to convince ethnic Russians to immigrate to Israel was carried out because the Sokhnut representative have to present the fruit of his well-paid work in Russia.
48. russian nazis
russian Jew ,   tel aviv   (04.22.07)
The problem is that the Israeli goverment and NGOs have become so negligent in every aspect of daily life, anything goes in Israel. Corruption, embezzelment, poor performance of the army, demoralization.....all bad omens. I agree with the position that any display of bahaviour that is anti-semitic or threatening to the security of the state of Israel should result in immediate consequences. For these boys, if true, a dishonourable discharge and deportation. If their parents don't like it, they can go too. ISRAEL, GET YOUR PIONEER SPIRIT BACK AND STOP BEING A BUNCH OF LEFT WING SISSIES OR RIGHT WING NUTS. Get it together before it is too late.
49. These russians should be DEPORTED imediately!
Keren ,   SP-now in Israel   (04.22.07)
I am amazed that it happened in september and they are still here in Israel!!!! Why is Israel waiting to kick their buts out of here? And it is amazing how Israel lets their Jewish fellows ,who put their lives in great risk for Israel,in such a position of humiliation,stress,etc! It is amazing!!!!How can these loyal soldiers properly do their job in such an enviroment?
50. An Israel should stop with this stupid
Keren ,   SP-now in Israel   (04.22.07)
way of accepting everything that appears as being Jew . Follow the Tanach strictly!There is the answer and the way! Nothing good will become with this current mess,nothing!(including "jewish" reform.!)
51. Send them back to Russia
Dan ,   Australia   (04.22.07)
52. I don't believe single word of this story.
Benjamin ,   TA Israel   (04.22.07)
53. Jewish according to Hitler
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (04.22.07)
The Russian goyim immigrated to Israel because they are "Jewish according to Hitler." When Hitler is you rabbi, isn't it to be expected that you will following his "torah"?
54. Russian soldiers
Larry ,   USA   (04.22.07)
I'm either uninformed or something. How did these Russians, I'm supposing that they are legal citizens of Israel, get citizenship? Did they fall off the "proverbial turnip truck that passed through Israel? We're Jewish, Torah observant, and probably if we tried to make Aliyah, we'd be turned down. Go figure?? Thanks, Larry
55. Dan
charles ,   petach tikva   (04.22.07)
Free house ? free car ? You are wrong . Free House : a state loan of 60,000 ILS at a reduced rate . the car : no import taxes . But you have to pay for , not free .
56. Vladimir and Shoshana
charles ,   petach tikva   (04.22.07)
Vladimir , there are certainly much more wonderful and Israel loving people of Russian origin , than those whom we are talking about . Sad to say , everywhere something goes wrong [ not only in Israel , in the whole world ] they tal;k about it . Of the great contribution of Israelis of the same origin , you won't hear . Shoshana : there are millions ...you wrote . Are there 5 or 10 million Israelis of Russian origin ? Don't exagerate , they are around one million , not millions .
57. that's what we get 4 drafting Russian Christians!
(04.22.07)
58. #57 They are Not Christians! They are Evil Jew-hating Nazis!
(04.22.07)
59. Go after the officers who did nothing!
Tracy W   (04.22.07)
Then go after the Nazis. Offer them either a long jail term, or a pre-paid ticket to Russia, with an additional incentive of three-month living expenses. Then never see them again or their offspring. Those Nazis are the children of Russians who immigrated to Israel for economic reasons. They have been raised without any religious or patriotic link to Israel, but with plenty of the old Cossac prejudice. Those children didn't ask to come to Israel and now they hate being a minority among people they despise. Give them the chance to go back to Mother Russia. Offer them incentives. Get them out of the country. Many of those participating in the pogroms of Jews IN Israel recently, were Russians, who enjoyed beating up Jews like their ancestors did. The non-Jewish presence in Israel is a great danger for the country for all it represents. The sooner Israel removes it from the land, the better. The most immediate action to be taken is to GO AFTER THE OFFICERS who did nothing. They failed to protect their men. Jews are the majority this time and they should get rid of anti-Semitism within their armed forces and then from the whole country. Anti-Semitic activity should be ILLEGAL and subject to jail, and in the worst cases, to deportation. These Russians will marry among themselves, increase in numbers, and continue to be a hostile presence in Israel. Add to that the ever growing Arab population, and the secular Left, and what do you have then? A Jewish minority in Israel?
60. IDF
Sepharad ,   Mundo   (04.22.07)
I dare say that a large majority of Russian's living in Israel are not Jewish. The State needed more European looking people to counter balance the Mizrahim's. Therefore, they accepted a large group of goyim from the Soviet Union.
