1. Wait until they get to Israel
Max ,   Venice, CA USA   (12.08.09)
Then they can live in a slum and be treated like garbage because they aren't Jewish.
2. Flashmora
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.08.09)
The Flashmora christians are willing to become temporary Jews ,till they get into Israel,so, they are willing to play the game and disguise themselves as Jews for economic reasons,once in Israel,they will return to their religion,which is christianity,like the Yemenite Muslims who recently came to Israel as 'Jews" under the law of return,and later,joined a mosque,those charlatans are putting on a talith and tefilin,only when they know that visiters are comming,there are 50 Million like them in Ethiopia who are willing to play the same game in order to improve their life,people are willing to convert to any religion in order to fill their emty bellies, Israel must put an end to this circus,and abolish the law of return,before Israel is flooded with all the misfits of the third world.

You should be ashamed of yourself. It is those "floods of misfits" that built this country - and yours! It is your so-called modern civilized immigrants that are criminals and are changing us into a country with no morals, no ideals and no goals.

NO I WONT. *** see ! you think I am a bad guy to thinking all above ? I dont think so. ISRAEL JUST PLANS ITS FUTURE IN DETALLY
7. subject to same laws for all. If they are Jews
JO   (12.08.09)
or spouse of Jews, or have a Jewish grandparent then they are eligible but most here are not. Bringing a immediate relative here who is not Jewish (say of a non Jewish spouse) is subject to rules and regulations and must have justification. Bringing whole families is not allowed. I do not understand why this community could be allowed such a right if it is not allowed to others. Simply because they are poor is not a good reason. Some rabbis are responsible for this as they have allowed this group to linger, taught them Judaism, given them aid and hope. They should have been allowed to continue on with their lives and each application thereafter reviewed in the same manner as any potential immigrant from any country. Ethopia is a poor country as are many people in Ethopia not just them but that is no reason for anything. It is against all rules and unfair to all.
8. to #1 relax take a deep breath

J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.08.09)
Mr A ! If your very fit Flashmura are permitted to enter Israel what will they do ? compete with their brethren,who came to Israel 20 years ago, for jobs as security guards in supermarkets,or they and their children will be on public assistance for who knows how long,in the sixties,many Morocoon Jews brought their elderly sick and partly blind parents to the local Shul,and left them there for the sochnut to take them to Israel, while they themselves emmigrated to France,many none Jews Berbers, also took advantage of the opportunity to leave morocoo,and better their lives, are you advocating ? that Israel should let in millions of starving people from Sudan, guatemala,Ethiopia,instead,why isn't Israel making an effort to bring to Israel the people of Denmark ? the Danes are decendants of Dan, 1 of the tribes of Israel,Israel should start right away the repatriation of the Danes,before Denmark launches a complaint to the UN for descrimination.
11. so called Falashmura
Shmuel ,   Israel   (12.10.09)
The so called Falashmura are 100% Christians. I am surorised at Shlomo Mula. When he worked in The Ministry of Immigrant Absorption he was completely against bringing these Christians to Israel. Most of the Ethiopian Jews who call themselves Beta Yisrael who were faithful to their Jewish traditions are opposed to bringing them and refuse to marry them.
