1. How about the smuggled Somali illegals
Pasquinel ,   Canada   (11.22.11)
Come on Mr. Harper, give these kids a break if it's their employers fault. Don't ban them from Canada, they are not getting welfare like others that hit our shores. At least they WORK. They are probably met with a turbaned gov't official who shouldn't really be here. We need these minerals in Canada. Don't give up
2. Oh my gracious!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.22.11)
How perfectly dreadful! Young Israelis arrested for selling wonderful skin care products. That's got to be RIGHT up there with selling illegal drugs, fake Rolexes and knock-off Vuitton bags -- all of which are fairly common in Canada. Disgusting. Have the Canadian authorities run out of useful things to do?
3. AND THE WORST PART IS THE ACTUAL WORK ITSELF
stude ham   (11.22.11)
these women are forced to stand in doorside aisles collaring passersby with 'free gift' come ons... hour after hour after dreary hour. the inexorable exploitative nature of this employment should be investigated even further by the israeli government.
4. Are you certain that it's cosmetics?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.22.11)
5. #3 stude ham - Nobody is FORCING
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.22.11)
When I last visited the USA, I saw them hawking the cosmetics They all had smiles on their faces, enjoying the experience and the banter they had with their prospective customers As far as I cold determie, there wasn't a slave driver in sight with a whip in their hand forcing them to do anything
6. But tens of thousands Mexicans can with no problems!
David ,   Hartford USA   (11.22.11)
So some Israelis come over and work in nice clean malls around the country. Meanwhile, thousands upon thousands of migrant workers flood across the borders and no one blinks an eye. Those 'Canadian authorities' sure are protecting their country from those terrible Israelis! Meanwhile Islamist terror-training camps exist right under their noses. I guess the Jews in the malls are the bigger threat!
7. Those are Israeli Arabs
Canuck   (11.22.11)
I've seen them selling cosmetics at booths in the mall.
8. #7 Canuck
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.22.11)
There aren't very many Israeli Arab woemn that served in the IDF, in fact hardly any The young ladies selling the cosmetics have all served
9. Ahhhahah! Good bust them.
Josh   (11.22.11)
Everyone wants to see a soldier who finishes service to be able to enjoy themselves with some travel and that takes pocket money, ... but have you ever seen the pitch. They coach Israelis to become liars. It is nothing short of human trafficking of Jews and according to a wikileaks, money laundering is happening too. Just go work down by the tachna merchazit if you want to be sleezy. At least you wont give Jews a bad name in the world by ripping off peoples mothers and helping drug pins launder money. A good soldier should keep your "good" family name and stay away from scamming people.
10. Anti-semitism (!)
(11.22.11)
11. Create jobs instead of waisting money on settelments
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (11.22.11)
12. #7 That's funny.
Josh   (11.22.11)
Arabs. Bet that gets under their skin hearing you say that, but I assure you they are Israelis or women smuggled from the Ukraine and other places. I stopped and talked with a few from the Ukrain/Russia area and those false documents they are getting is all part of a bigger deal. Trust me, rarely if ever would Israeli kiosks be staffed with Arabs.
13. I blame Canadian Muslims
sk ,   USA   (11.22.11)
I have family who are Canadian citizens and visit Canada a couple of times a year. The Muslim population in Canada is quite obvious and increasing, and I believe they instigated the complaints against these poor hard working Israeli kids.
14. California unemployment is 12% but CA won't deport illegals
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.22.11)
while the cost of tuition goes up 9% a year and more and more slots are reserved for foreign students who can pay the full tuition. And, obumma wants to give the illegals citizenship so he can break the back of Social Security and Medicare and we older folks can all go live in the streets.
15. Its not just women
A ,   Belgium   (11.22.11)
My son, who served in the Border Police and is Jewish, also sold cosmetics in American malls and was also cheated by his Israeli "employers". Cheats are gender blind.

Jonathan ,   MN/US   (11.22.11)
they were selling their products without a permit. goverments have every right to enforce their laws, discrimination dosnt come into it.
17. #2 Sarah B
Mark Wilson ,   U.S.A   (11.22.11)
An illegal alien is just an ILLEGAL ALien, be it Israeli, African or Hispanic... What is your point Sarah? Do you want us to believe that just because they are Jews, they should be judged differently?
18. Sarah B
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (11.22.11)
Sarah B...please read what you post! nothing you say is congruent...if you really are a lawyer and one who stands for justice you would never make those silly comments! it appears as if anything a Jew does is acceptable to you. a few months ago I said this: "an Israeli company sold tanker ships through a broker to an Iranian company. they went through a broker and all the information on who the customer was is public knowledge and there was no way anyone could have denied that!" you Sarah B asked for proof because you don't seem to read anything where a Jew does wrong! feel free to read about the Ofer Brother Group...oh and don't worry, I'm alreadt prepared for your excuses!
19. #11 Rami, no need to create jobs
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.22.11)
All we have to do is fire all Arabs that are from the West Bank that have permission to work in Israel Then Abbas can worry about creating jobs, as if he doesn't have enough problems already with the Arabs in the WB that are unemployed Settlements aren't a waste (note the spelling) they're a fence that helps to prevent infiltration for some of your brothers that might want to do us harm
20. #19..IBEN JABO.....You are BARKING to the wrong TUNE..
ali ,   Villanova - USA   (11.23.11)
Hey IBEN JABO...we are talking about those adventuring nice young Israelis..NOT in Your malls.. I meet many of them in US malls and they are usually very nice young kids making a living...I enjoy their company and party with them.. They are a lot of fun..... As to Arabs working in Israel, Many of your Israeli businesses will never operate without the help of Palestinians Arabs..... You are just a LOUD mouth who is very upset about something he can't do anything about...GET A LIFE.. or JUST GO LIVE IN A BARBED WIRED settlement...

john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (11.23.11)
Same thing is happening here in Cairns and nobody gives a toot.Usually one or two are Israeli but the rest of the kids are backpackers working for a commission .I talk to the Israeli guys and girls all the time.Great way to get up to date info from Israel.
22. Yet
John ,   Hamilton, ON   (11.23.11)
A Canadian student is barred from attending University in Israel and deported. But that's OK.
23. Illegal workers in Israel
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.23.11)
Some 300,000 of workers, mostly from Africa, they support their families from wages in Tel Aviv and other cities. They may be making 500-1000 dollars a month. But, the ads for Israelis to work in the U.S. or Canada (in Hebrew) promise young Israelis $5,000/month and up, plus an apartment, paid international transportation, etc.. There are many such ads in Israel and young people get tempted. I doubt very much ads like these appears in Mexican and other South American newspapers.
24. #20 Ali - First of all, the subject
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.23.11)
are the Malls lin Canada, not the USA or Israel Second of all, those young people sell these products in various countries, since it give them the ability to sight see and travel by the monies they earn Next point, Israel can readily employ non-probllematic (non--Arab)workers from Asia and Europe who are eager to work in Israel. I suggest that you leave the USA and come here to tell me where to live, then I can tell you where to go
