2. Good for them - let them run!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (11.09.08)
3. enough already
James ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.09.08)
No, they are illegal aliens, I don't care how well they can run. We are not a refugee sytate, we are a Jewish State and these individuals should and must be deported as soon as possible or else we are encouraging more people to breach our borders. Oc ourse they would rather be in Israel than in Eritrea. So would all of Africa. They could have applied for refugee status in Egypt, but chose to come here. Kick them out.

is deported and made to pay back every agorah of their sal klitah, we have no reason to turn back these few souls who will never try to steamroll over the best parts of our culture.
5. Have RAHMANUT Adon. James from Tel-Aviv
Maxwell Smart ,   BEAUTIFUL ISRAUSA   (11.10.08)
We Jews had to go through what this two great young people had to through. Our G-D, and our history teaches us to be merciful, generous,loving, and compassionate. They are great kids, and they will be a great contribution to Israel. Please wish them well Adon. James. We at home are nery excited for them. We love them, and we pray for them. THAT IS WHAT JUDAISM IS ALL ABOUT THANK G-D. John Pasahi, and Taspaldat Dasta, WE LOVE YOU!.
6. #4 don't disagree but...
James ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.10.08)
over 12,000 illegal immigrants in less than 18 months with 20 to 30 new arrivals every night is not a few souls. The government does nothing and this is a recipe for vioelence in the future (look in the UK, Australia, etc.). I agree, we can take a few (maybe a few 1000) genuine refugees if it is for a temporary basis until they can go home. Unfortunately, the numbers are huge, we wo't be able to send them back, and the vast majority are not real refugees - for example, there is no reason in the world why South Sudanese cannot go back - the UN is repatriating them from Egypt, but they can't leave Israel because they came here. They know this when they come, we can't deport them.
7. James,6#, you are 100% correct
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (11.10.08)

Everyone wants to live in Israel except the Jews. Sad.
10. No. 3 - James
Lou ,   Israel   (11.10.08)
I fully agree with you.
11. #9 That's Israel's fault, not the foreign Jews'.
Yael ,   Haifa   (11.10.08)
But yes, sad.
12. James , remember the St Louis
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.10.08)
this ship that was rejected . Remember 1492 , when Spanish Jews were accepted in Holland and Turkey .
13. Nop, not everyone
Tom ,   Dubai   (11.10.08)
#9 not everyone wants to live in Israel. I sure don't, and yes I am Eritrean.
14. To #12 St. Louis
Jon ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.10.08)
Indeed, but the Jews had nowhere else to go. The Sudanese are welcome in Egypt (ok, its not great for them in Cairo, but their lives are not in danger there) or can go back to South Sudan which the UN fully recognizes. Your arguement suggests that we should let in anyone (whether their lives are in danger or not). 12,000 with an extra 500 every month is enough. We have done our bit. The international community can take over now. We can't commit national suicide by letting anyone who is poor and down-trodden into the country (especially when they arrive illegally).
15. agree with #6
(11.10.08)
16. To #9

YSL ,   Jerusalem Israel   (11.11.08)
I rather have them than these leftist Piss Now idiots.At least these 2 will be loyal citizens and contribute to the state of Israel.They want to serve in the IDF.which a lot of Israelis don't want to do.I wish them the best of luck in Israel. And to the knockers, up yours.
18. #17 YSL - God luv ya'
