1. The Land of Israel is the home of all Jews.
Robert Bernier   (08.17.08)
Israel is obligated, using our traditional skill with words, to retake the battlefield of ideology and of the mind - and win. The Jewish People have always been made up of different kinds of Jews. We have to make every effort to explain to all Jews that the Land of Israel is their home. Some of them may want to become religiously observant, and some may not - but if this Land cannot be the home of all Jews, then our State will not be able to last. A united Jewish people will not fear anti-Semitism as explained at : http://xrl.us/bju8t
2. The Israeli Ethiopians I met mostly at Sheba Medical Center
Rivkah   (08.17.08)
near Tel Aviv were mostly beautiful and lovely people except for a few rebellious children in tow. They were so different from American Blacks who hate White people and are responsible for most of the crimes in America since half the people in prisons are Blacks. Maybe the Jewish religion is the difference.

4. # 1 This Doesn't Have Anything to Do with Skin
Bill ,   US   (08.17.08)
This has to do with the fact that the Falasha Mura are not Jewish. Ethiopian Jews don't want them in Israel because they are sponsored by Christian missionary groups to go after them. Or if they don't have any religious leanings, they align themselves witth the extreme Left to bash Israel. Politicians who favor their entry do so because they expect it to translate into a community that's in their party's pocket.
5. #3 - Listen
Sami   (08.17.08)
I live in Israel. I am half Sephardi, half Ashkenazi. I have literally NEVER once in my 22 years here encountered any sort of of discrimination or prejudice. My whole family that lives here has married Jews from various backgrounds...Iraqi, Yemeni, Moroccan, Russian, Polish, etc. so pretty much most of the next generation in Israel will indeed have "true biblical Jewish blood" whatever that racist, self-hating Jew Bernstein meant. Further, genetic testing has confirmed Ashkenazi ethnic kinship to Jews around the world, and even if they weren't, Judaism considers converts, intermarried people, adopted people, etc. just as Jewish. Bernstein must really get pleasure out of antagonizing his fellow Jews (if you can call him one). "Communistic Kibbutzim". LOL...I guess if you consider sharing with your community communism...
6. FALAH MURA ARE NOT JEWISH. AFRICA FOR AFRICANS !

7. Enough with the allyah of goyim!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.17.08)
They left the Jewish religion and that should be enough to keep them from allyah. We do not need to take in more poor,uneducated and sick new immigrants,irregardless of their color!
