What a scandalous decision. Let the daughter stay permanently.

A blunt violation of supreme mitzvah, that caused Avraam to make the Covenant - HOSPITALITY! - we see in front of our eyes, and what do we do? But I am sure we have absolutely no problem to grant citisenship to chiefs of Russian mafia (like Semyon Mogilevich, who started his career by fraud of Jewish old people doing allyah) - just on the basis of "blood".

How come they allow all the illegal "kaffirs" who come across the border to stay!l

Not enough! Send both Ehuds to Bini Fini. What a tragic circus. G-d help Am Israel, because this disgraceful 'government' has lost its way in the sure path to doom. Medinat Israel and its JEWISH people deserve way better.

The Interior Ministry should be emptied and re-staffed. They're beyond ridiculous, mean-spirited, petty bureaucrats. They bring shame on Israel.

This story is crazy beyond imagination. That anyone would think of deporting this mans daughter from the state that arose from such tragedy. I have only written one other thing online in my life. UnBeLeVieBLE

from all readers of this article who believe this woman should be allowed to stay here. I suggest that emails be sent to the Ministry of Interior (Misrad HaPnim) at www.moin.gov.il protesting this unconscionable treatment. It might also help to contact the office of President Peres.

For those wishing to contact President Peres with regard to this matter, the following information is provided: Contact information for the office of President Peres Address: 3 Hanassi Street, Jerusalem, 92188 Israel Telephone: +972-2-6707211 Answering service weekdays 8:00-19:00 Fax: +972-2-5611033 E-Mail: president@president.gov.il Director General of the President's Office Tel: 02-6770319, 02-6770321 Fax: 02-5611033

not letting him go back home? http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3559906,00.html

Keren - great job. We need people like you in this country that make a difference and stand up for what they believe. Bitching on Ynet is not going to help anyone only action. we should also stage a mass protest outside the knesset to call for elections and get Olmert and his flock of idiots out of power for once and for all and as an undivided nation.

You do a disservice to your cause when you show racism. One can argue with the logic of who is or isn't allowed to remain, but if it seems that your concern is the color of the the skin rather than other factors, I start to wonder about you. She should stay because of her family history and her being as asset to the country. Her not being black isn't a factor and shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Day after day, we read of bad decisions coming from the Israeli government. We hurt our friends and embrace our enemies. We give guns and money to terrorists and expel good, decent people. We cover our eyes as Arab collaborators are picked up by Fatah and hauled away. Why would anyone want to support this government with money, time or good will? Throw the (Kadima) bums out!

The Ministry of the Interior must go out of its way to find the incompetent personnel which works there. To even think of deporting this woman, after what her father did for Jews, is the height of idiocy. The government must be dissolved if only to get rid of these heartless clerks.

Sending her back to Ukraine is absolutely inbelievable. I almost have to wonder if something is missing from the story. In any event, consider signing the petition under esponse # 17 and hopefully all will be well.
