1. this is why we need to keep these people in detention centre
zionist forever   (12.19.10)
It means they are safer and they do not intigrate into society and never heard of agian. In a detention centre we have them locked up to either deport or grant assylum to.
2. :: It happened in Europe...
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (12.20.10)
...and it is happening in Israel Reminds me of the 1992 arson attack in Rostock. In Rostock the local authorities were unable or unwilling to stem the rise in rightwing racism. Sadly Israel is little different, I cannot recall one news report in the last three years where Israeli police have cracked down on far rightwing Israeli extremists.
3. #1 Rascist forever
Haim ,   tel aviv   (12.20.10)
are you for real ? For someone who calls himself a zionist i suggest you take a long look in the mirror.
4. I support them.
tejas ,   India   (12.20.10)
Attacking them is not going to solve the solution. Govt. should deport them.
5. #2 - because it usually never makes news
William ,   Israel   (12.20.10)
Such actions against the extremists in Israel are not released for publication, usually to hide identities of those infiltrating such groups. And such groups would never publicize a thing themselves, so outside of the extremist groups and security apparatus, little is known. You don't see police crackdowns o organized crime either, but its happening. Unlike Germany, we're a tiny country and everything is known, so such attacks are rare (thank G-d).
6. No matter your position on immigrants...
William ,   Israel   (12.20.10)
this is totally uncalled for and as an Israeli I condemn it 110%!! Throw the book at those who committed this crime.
7. Just give them a few years in the country
Jake ,   USA   (12.20.10)
and they'll get organized and riot and make Jews' lives miserable. Ask any Egyptian about the Sudanese population in Cairo. They'll tell you about the gangs and the crimes they commit. Get the UNHCR to relocate them.
8. THEY ARE NOT REFUGEES . Call them African work migrants

Amy ,   UK/ Tel Aviv   (12.20.10)
Zionist forever; your response to this article is the superlative of ridiculous; how is their integrating into society an issue or a danger? If they're detained and later released because they've been granted asylum does it make any difference? If they're from Sudan the probability is that they DO have a legitimate claim. Infiltrator? Call your grandmother.
10. To Zionist
Rachel ,   US   (12.20.10)
There is no excuse for this. And if this is your attitude, I don't want to hear one word the next time a Jew is attacked in Europe or where ever in the world antisemitism hits next.
11. # No. 9 - Amy UK
rom ,   israel   (12.20.10)
Ah, but they have no intention of integrating. They live in their own enclaves and most of them embark on a life of crime and violence and are, and never will be, an asset to our country. Have you not read what they are doing in south Tel Aviv? They should all be deported. The sooner the better. And yes, I do agree with #6 William's condemnation of those who committed this crime. That's not the way to deal with them at all.
12. You are ruining this country.
tejas ,   India   (12.20.10)
You and your organization bring them to Israel, organize rallies and call Israeli people racist. What about the people who are killing them in their homeland? Why are you not raising your voice against them? . Do you really care for these refugees? Then go to thier countries and fight with people who are killing them. But you are not going to do that. Because you are cowards and so much afraid that you don't have guts to do it. You just blackmail the guillible Israeli people to fulfill your greed of socialism. . tejastoday@yahoo.com

14. Responding to Amy, #9
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (12.20.10)
"how is their integrating into society an issue or a danger?" But they are not integrating, any more than the African migrants in Amsterdam, Paris or Malmo are integrating in their socieities. Like in those places, the African migrants here create slums of poverty and crime. This is supported by plain facts. "If they're detained and later released because they've been granted asylum..." This point is purely theoretical - nobody here granted them asylum. "If they're from Sudan the probability is that they DO have a legitimate claim" Wrong. The vast majority of these migrants do not meet the conditions for being refugees - they are simply work migrants. And you know what? Even if they (hypothetically) were refugees, then it is not the responsibility of tiny Israel to absorb all of Africa's oppressed and downtrodden. That's why we need to speed up the building of the fence in the Egyptian border. "Infiltrator? Call your grandmother" Yes, INFILTRATORS. That's what they are, plain and simple. And your kindergarten-level statement here only highlights the ridiculousness of your position, and your total lack of any substantive argument. But then again, what else is to be expected from an ARDC activist. On a final note, I want to say that although I don't want illegal African infiltrators in my town, I do not condone this crime of hate, and wish that those responsible would be brought to justice. This is not the way to resolve this situation. This is what we have the Oz unit for.
15. Other neighbors helped
Chaya ,   Tel Aviv   (12.20.10)
At least neighbors helped them put out the fire. Hope they find who was responsible for this and put him in jail!! Having said that, a solution has to be found for these people. It is true - we cannot take in everyone from Africa - whether migrant worker or asylum seeking.
16. a tossed burning tire... what's next, necklacing?
seadog1946 ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (12.20.10)
17. Where they get about $15,000 to pay Beduins, Egyptians, poli
Moshe ,   Netanya   (12.20.10)
They are not even looking for work. With this money they can live several years in African countries.
18. Sudanese don't belong here.Period.
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel   (12.20.10)
They should be deported through legal channels, setting fire to apts is not going to get rid of them, it will only increase leftist agitation for them and AGAINST Jewish nationalists. Therefore, the authorities must be pressured to do the right thing and get them out.Now.
19. #17 SO TRUE!
Omri ,   Israel   (12.20.10)
