1. Exactly how many people ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.27.12)
.... live in each of those apartments, which are designed to house one family? Are Israeli health and safety codes being violated by these Eritrean "economic refugees?" Are we sure that it was indeed Molotov cocktails, or was the fire started by a careless individual in one of those apartments? Did the fire endanger the lives of other householders living in the building? Seems to me that if someone who is in Israel illegally in the first place carelessly starts a fire that could claim the lives of many, "Molotov cocktail" is a tailor-made excuse.
2. I don't think they r eligible 4 asylum; we shouldn't...

be hurting them in any way. I firmly believe that all of these people are economic migrant workers who are attempting to use Israel as a gateway to economic stability and/or a gateway to the rest of the world. I do not believe they are the responsibility of the State of Israel If they are true asylum seekers why is Israel the only country in the region they are attempting to and succeeding in entering? All of that said and I do believe in violence and I think it is 100% wrong to injure these people in any way. If the molotov cocktails were thrown by Israelis then those Israelis should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law! If the molotov cocktails were thrown by other Africans then those other Africans should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!
3. Don't like the implication that it was Israelis....
Pazit ,   Israel   (04.27.12)
it is entirely possible that it was other Africans. This needs to be investigated and taken care of.
4. #2 they come to Israel because no one
arlene ,   Israel   (04.27.12)
else will have them. Many entered Israel via Egypt as they didnt want them. Basically threw them out across the boarder. Israel as always "the bad guy"..took them in and many are employed. Its a bitch of a world and impossible to help all those that fear death in their own land. This is where humanatarians should be, also activist and that cow Ashton. But no these stirrers only go where they feel they wont end up in a dark cell or held hostage. I hope they will soonhave a solution for these peoples and harming them isnt our way.
5. Witness the power of da hood!
Cameron ,   USA   (04.27.12)
Israelis, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Just a mild taste so far.
