1. Rally on Friday
Sukamba ,   israel   (12.22.10)
Basses will take to to Ramat Aviv mall. Everyone be there!
2. What about our women ?
Malach HaMavet ,   Gehenem   (12.22.10)
who are afraid to walk in the streets because they are being molested These aren't "migrants", they're ILLEGAL infiltrators, a danger to the State of Israel and to the people AIDS is rampant in most of Africa, it now has an opportunity to spread to Israel Ship them back, they're uninvited
3. It's no wonder why so many people hate "Israel"
Salma ,   Palestine   (12.22.10)
If you ever wonder if people hate you and aren't sure, Migrants are the quiz for you, be smart and try to change people's impression about you.
4. Easy Solution
IZL   (12.22.10)
Those who are violent of the migrants should deported immediatley after being convicted of PROVEN violence. Those who are not bothering anyone should not be bothered, and respected as welcomed guests/residents in our country. Overall though, the flow of migration needs to be managed in a controlled fashion. No country can have unrestricted flow.
5. Can't Jews be expelled from their religion?
noa ,   israel   (12.22.10)
Like the Amish do when a member has transgressed. These are not Jews at the protest: these are thugs!
6. Salma
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.22.10)
Jewish immigrants who really were escaping genocide came here to their historic homeland, and were slaughtered in the streets, elderly, women , children. It's why we needed Irgun, palmach and Lehi. Arabs don't seem to get it they take kindness and mercy and the Jewish wish to live in peace for weakness, propaganda can fool the whole world but we are here and know the real truth, when pushed far enough, with the Israeli Gov. Doing nothing, than underground organizations like Lehi will reamerge, than Arab terrorists will be in for a real shock. Anyway, you are a fake not posting from here, and not fooling those of us who are. If the Arabs here want peace they can have it, and greatly improved lives. If they continue on the path of blood shed, we will all bleed, but one thing is certain, Israel will never fall.
7. israeli converts are migrants also in palestine
kumba   (12.22.10)
8. #3 I would think the opposite
michael   (12.22.10)
Unlike israelis who wander into Palestinians get lynched. People are actuallt protesting and the illegal immigrants have the right to protest. Unlike these illegals who are being shot and killed by Egyptian Border police for leaving egypt. Unlike the Palestinians who want to force evict thousands of Israelis from there hoes israel has let illegals come in.
9. Israel owes them absolutely nothing.
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (12.22.10)
No one asked them to come here, they infiltrated here illegally, they do not belong in this country, and therefore we owe them nothing. Tiny Israel is not the haven for all of Africa's downtrodden and needy. Besides, saying they are "refugees" is a lie. Their vast majority are simply work migrants. Furthermore, these African migrants 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. In any other Western country, they would have been put in jail or detention, and then booted out without any sentiments, without any aid from humanitarian organizations, without any medical care, without the possibility of leaving the fathers to work here, without the leftist media hugging them, and of course without any money in exchange for them to leave. Only in Israel they get such a red carpet treatment, and still they have the nerve to complain. But in all truth, we cannot blame them. They have merely spotted an opportunity - and identified us as the reckless, feeble, bleeding-heart liberal country that we are - so they are cashing in on it. We have only our own stupidity to blame. I wonder - if I came to work illegally in shopping carts in American malls, and immigration catches me, can I scream "racism", unionize, march in the streets and demand refugee status and a permanent stay in the US plus social benefits?
10. 3#.Migrants cannot just walk into a
Dyslexic..... ,   Israel...   (12.22.10)
country and expect too work and live without documentation,its against the law in any country.Migrants have medical and social problems.We in Israel have too send these people back too there country as humanly as possbile.SALAMA look what the muslims have done too the world with there hate and world terrorism.Look at what the muslim world has done too world travel,and you talk about hate.
11. The racism in secular Left Tel-Aviv is appalling
Secular Tel Aviv ,   HYPOCRISY!   (12.22.10)
These same protesters are the ones who called Yishai a racist for doing exactly what they are doing. The hypocrisy of the Left is SICKENING.
12. Illegals?
frank ,   israel   (12.22.10)
this scared resident of Tel Aviv...is he illegal? if yes, why is he here? Why can't he be safe in his own country. I am tired of listening to this left-wing nonsense. THROW THE ILLEGALS OUT ALONG WITH THEIR CHILDREN!!! This country is at a crossroads and it is either they have to leave or real citizens are going to start to leave. I for one am not interested in living in a illegal immegrate country where their interests, their background their customs are not mine. I came here to be with my people and frankly my people are not Congalese! Enough is enough. What we need is a strong government who is not afraid to say to the US, oh yeah, don't you have that fence between mexico and the US? Aren't you spending billions to keep the illegals out? Well we are keeping them out also, just like you. What we need is to start insisting that illegals who wish to stay need sponsors. Let the left wing guarantee for each person US$2 million dollars to cover their expenses, medical, school etc and we shall see how the left will give up their liberalism when it actually costs them money. Right now they don't care that it costs me, but let it cost them? and the picture will be different. That picture of illegals leaving on that jet plane!!!! NO TO ILLEGALS and NO TO A GOVERNMENT THAT ALLOWS IT
13. to No 3
John ,   tel-aviv   (12.22.10)
Salma baby, where you live - do you have any African migrants/refugees? No? Oh... Why? And why do they all go to Israel and not to your territory ? It's great to be a righteous person in the safety of an armchair, on on-line, do something to help this people if you care so much.
14.  Israelis will soon be scared to walk in TA ,never mind
(12.22.10)
15. #3 Salma the Arabs should be hated much more
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (12.22.10)
How many migrants are welcome into the Kingdom of Jordan? They pour into Israel because Egypt won't allow them to stay. In UAE and Saudi Arabia the lucky ones are allowed to live as slaves, although the royalty prefers Asians and light-skinned slaves. We won't even mention that the massacres of Black Africans by Arab Janjaweed in Sudan is what caused the migrations in the first place.
16. migrants
colin   (12.22.10)
Get rid of these parasites. They are worse than the haridim They say they are scared- NOT SCARED ENOUGH Let them return to thier homelands.
17. Israel must get rid of these Illegals/Phony Asylumniks
Alan ,   SA   (12.22.10)
18. Send bleeding hearts to Africa.
tejas ,   India   (12.22.10)
Don't hope anything from Government. First of get the rid of the organizations such as African Refugee Development Center. And send them all to Africa.
19. #3 SALMA - Arabs have much more land
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.22.10)
than Israel has Extend some courtesy invite them in, It's rather easy to tell someone else to be the host, when you refuse to do so yourselves
20. #5 Those are Jews that are afraid
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.22.10)
to have their family walk in the streets, in fear of their being molested or attacked Be a sport, invite a few of the infiltrators into your home, introduce them to the family, YOU must set the example
21. Safe???
Sam ,   NYC   (12.22.10)
"It's no longer safe to walk around Tel Aviv," Better not safe for you today than not safe for the Israelis tomorrow. Israel, don't let these people turn Tel Aviv into Detroit.
22. THIS PURELY RACIST DEMO ALSO PUT FEAR IN ISRAEL SUPORTERS
stude ham   (12.22.10)
the language and tenor of the demonstrators was pure racism in all of its ugliness. israel's government must step in as quickly as as possible to squelch these racists and the incipient racism now being increasingly evident. otherwise israel will sink into the apartheid state of which it is being accused world wide.
23. illegal migrants
chaim witz ,   rio, brazil   (12.22.10)
Understand something: if you step illegaly inside ANY country in the world, you will have no rights whatsoever, except being sent back to the land you came from. These illegal immigrants surely represent a social problem, BUT TO THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY BELONG, not to the State of Israel.
24. #9
noa ,   israel   (12.22.10)
No. 9, I think you are a goy. You know nothing about Jewish heritage and who we are. People like you are ignorant and hateful. We are not obligated to anyone, but that is not the point. According to the Torah, we were specifically told by God to be kind to be the stranger. You want to be a redneck, do it in another religion's name: not ours.
25. Slama, why are you hesitating
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.22.10)
I posed a group of serious questions and you haven't replied Some easy questions for you to answer The Palestinian people obviously, if they truly existed, should also have left their mark or are mentioned by others. If our Academics, Historians, Politicians and others are so sure that 'Palestine & its people', go back throughout most of recorded history, one would expect them to be able to answer a few very simple and basic questions about the alleged country of Palestine & its People, the Palestinians. For example: When was the country of Palestine founded and by whom? Where did the Palestinian people originate from? What were Palestine's borders? Who were its neighbours? What language did the Palestinians speak? What writing did they use? What manuscripts or records did they leave whether written or engraved? What was their religion? Where are their temples? What monuments attest to their existence? What was the name of their capital? Name its other major cities. What was their currency called? Are there any coins that attest to their economy? What was Palestine's form of government? Name its kings or rulers. What are their achievements? With which other peoples did the Palestinians interact? Where can one find any records where in the name of the country of Palestine or its people are mentioned? What Archaeological sites can one name? Where can one find the recorded history of these people? Whom did they conquer or were conquered by? Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or even now, leaves no room for misunderstanding? Can anyone name at least Five Palestinian leaders before Arafat?
26. #7 Kumba
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.22.10)
You must learn to differentiate between "Legal and Illegal" migrants One type is invited, the other chose to sneak in Get it ?
27. Welcome to our world
Rachel ,   US   (12.22.10)
We here in America have the same problem. Cheap labor is not cheap, you pay for it one way or another.
28. #3
ABE ,   NYC   (12.22.10)
IF THEY HATE ISRAEL WHY ARE THEY COMING HERE AND NOT RAMALLAH YOU MORON?
29. Illegal infiltrators
sarah leah ,   jerusalem, israel   (12.22.10)
BS"D I would hate to see people physically attacked by lynch mob mentality. And I also hope that the government will do something - SEND THEM AWAY. This Sigi - 16 yrs of sponging off of Israel? Sigi should long ago have headed out to a NON-JEWISH country - of which the world is comprised. They shouldn't be beaten and burned, G-d forbid. But they should be expelled - immediately.
30. To: #24 noa
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (12.22.10)
First, let me start by saying I'm 100% Jew, albeit a totally secular one, born and raised here. Second, you imply that I pretend speak on behalf of the Jewish religion - I do not, and never did. I speak on behalf of tax-paying, law-abiding Israeli citizens like me. Third, in my previous post I have written a well-organized essay with ample solid facts and arguments to back it up. Yet you conveniently avoided tackling any of my arguments, and instead attacked me in the only way you could - using an empty slogan - "ignorant and hateful", thus reducing the discussion to name-calling. I can't blame you though, as your evasive strategy is merely a testament for your failure to take me on in a serious debate. Fourth and lastly, regarding "being kind to the stranger". I have already mentioned quite meticulously in my previous post, how we go out of our way to help those illegal African infiltrators, while all other enlightened Western countries treat them like garbage. This special treatment is showered upon these infiltrators, all in the name of our famous kindness to the stranger. And it is with this same kindness, that we should eventually lead them to the airplane heading back to Africa. Kindly and gently, and with a nice stash of cash on the side. Given such extraordinary treatment, I think we can definitely pat ourselves in the shoulder for being humane, rather than listen to your ridiculously over-righteous guilt trip.
