They obtained refugee status in Egypt. Now they are moving into Israel as economic refugees. Fifty a day. Once admited they will have to bring their children and spouses. In the meantime, Gush Katif refugees are still languishing - no weekly reports about expelled "settlers" here - and Sderot residents continue to be under fire while almost nobody cares. But Israeli Jews are nervous because of what the world might think if they dare to enforce immigration and refugee laws against these people.

It is said that we must keep repeating the lesson until it has been learned. Apparently, in spite of going through the Haggada every Pesach, this one has not yet been learned.

You are some of what once made this country great, and the best medicine for what ails us now. All the best to you.

What about the Jewish refugees of Aza? This is UN work not our problem. They should be fed, cleaned up, given a complete medical checkup and sent on their way to another country that can absorb them. This is a Jewish country and we enough xtian and muslims here. We will take all the Jewish Ethopians, Russians or where ever they come from as long as they are Jewish. .

It is women like this woman who make the Jewish people great. The hospitality of Avraham and Sarah have not left us and must always remain a trait of the Jewish people.

Elisheva Milikowsky is an incrediblely decent human being, and everyone needs to learn from her.

She can't do this alone. Also, people - contribute what you can for these people: food, books, clothes, toys, etc. We need Elisheva's phone number!

From the gitgo it has always accepted students (israeli) who they felt needed a second change (no bagrut, but good academic averages), older students etc. It's medical school has an international rep for community and family medicine. I'm not surprised one bit.

It's now 2 years since, they are no longer refugees and are responsible for their own fate. I've found a job and apartment in Israel, why can't they?

Has Maccabi had a look at these guys? They all look at least 6.5 feet tall!

callousness for the plight of Jews who are poor, or who have lost their homes in the expulsions, or who are suffering from rocket attacks from Hamas. I'm not questioning this lady's motives, but the way Jews in Israel and abroad call for the acceptance of these immigrants (they are not refugees because they got refuge in Egypt already) seems geared to work on their image rather than out of true compassion. Show the world you care for your own and you will be respected. Nothing that you do for strangers will count in their opinion. Believe me. They don't care. But you will have added one more problem to your country to deal with.

publish an email or postal address for this young woman. She needs help.

Elisheva's Exam? She just earned her Doctorate on the streets of Beer Sheva. What theoretical knowledge from a textbook could possibly compare to her compassion and practical application of social welfare on the Streets of Beer Sheva. She practices the principle of Tzedaka of Judaism at it highest level. We must remember the Hasidei Umot Ha'Olam that helped us when we were the targeted and oppressed. At the same time we don't have the capacity to save the entire world and must find suitable and humane solutions for people fleeing the slaughter in Darfur. A blessing upon Elisheva and may G-d give her strength.

As Jews, many of us know of the outrageous tragedy that occurred when a boat full of Jewish refugees from Germany was turned away from several points on the Eastern United States seaboard and Cuba: They were forced to go back to Nazi-occupied Europe where many of them perished in Hitler's gas chambers. How can anyone claim that these refugees should be turned away simply because they are not Jewish? Do they deserve to go back to Sudan where they most likely they or their families will be murdered, raped, or sent into decrepit refugee camps? I agree that Israel cannot handle the situation on its own, but I can hardly think of any better way of living up to the commandment of being a "light unto the nations" than doing whatever we can to offer help to Sudanese refugees coming across the Israeli border.

The Sudanese have already obtained refuge in Egypt. Their infiltration into Israel is done for economic reasons. I understand the emotional associations with the Jews of Europe, but keep in mind that these people already have asylum in Egypt. These days the United Nations has been tasked with looking after refugees. This is NOT Israel's responsibility. Please do not use emotional manipulation to make a country that is facing war and many internal problems also take care of the world's jobless and refugees. It's not fair.

To #!5 - Agree with you 100%. To #16 - Not to compare the Sudanese with the Jews? Human life is human life!

What worries me is,in no time the jihad or other terrorist groups will get hold of them,brainwash them against their host (Israel) and make them SHAHID. I have no problem helping anyone in need of help whatever their religion but when it comes to compromising the security of the country and its people, I'm sorry; charity begins at home. We still have so many people from Sederot and the north that are in desperate need, so why abandon them? The Sudanese already have refuge in Egypt and they are their brothers and there are so many wealthy Muslim countries that it should be their responsibility and not this tiny little country that at this time is fighting for its survival.The global boycott of Israel and its academies means that the Israeli economy suffers with not enough money to take care of casualties of war etc etc etc. SORRY as they say aniye eircha kodem. Shabbat Shalom.

Human life is not all alike. When some people, because of their philosophy, are filled with hatred for your family, you don't invite them to stay in your home. It's that simple. And Sudanese are some of the most anti-Jewish people in the world. Your statement is good in principle. When you live in a country fighting for its very right to exist, when you live with the fear of terror every moment, then reality sets in. These people just happen to be economic refugees. We all feel sorry for the poor of the Earth but that's no reason to put Israel at more risk. What's the point of the UN if now Israel has been designated receiving point for all the economic refugees of the world? And just look at what these people have done to Europe. Alex, if you feel so strongly, sponsor a family of refugees. Take them to the States, look after them. Maybe they'll thank you. Or better, why don't you open the borders in the US to anyone who needs a job.

how can we contact elisheva?
