61. this whats happening in south africa
anton ,   israel   (05.19.12)
there are more illegal immegrants than white poeple who now live in south africa,roughly 6-8 million of them which have crossed over,if that chasve shalom happens here,we know who will have the majority vote,we will have another obama oy va voy
62. You're not alone!
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (05.20.12)
In the USA there are reportedly about fourteen million illegal Hispanics who have crossed the border. Here is Europe we have more than we can handle. Some from Muslim lands have claimed asylum on the basis that they are persecuted as gays. Many asylum seekers rejected by the British courts disappear into the woodwork and avoid deportation, at least half a million according to estimates.
63. To #35
Bertram ,   London, UK   (05.20.12)
According to your 'logic' the US cannot be home to those of European descent (including yourself, no doubt). But then, the 'first peoples' or native Americans are descended from those who originall crossed the Baring Straits thousands of years ago. In fact, the most convincing theories suggest we are all originally from Africa, so why not give this indigenous stuffa rest (especially as Abraham came from Ur, according to Genesis!).
64. What about the illegal white criminals?
5th generation ,   Israel   (05.20.12)
Just because violent, drunken ex-Soviets rode the Law of Return wave lying about being Jewish dose not make them any better than the subject of this article. If you want to deport, then start with the real problem.
65. And now, the other side of the argument
5th generation ,   Israel   (05.20.12)
Many of these African refugees take care of our sick and old JEWS, including holocaust survivors who are alone in Israel or otherwise discarded. Hard work, for minimum wage - and they're good at it. This is sacred work that so many Israeli Jews refuse to do.
66. Why hasn't the UN built refugee camps?
Tova M. ,   Rehovot, Israel   (05.20.12)
If they are refugees of war, then when is the UN going to step in and build camps? Once it's safe, the refugees can return home. If they would like to apply for asylum, then they should be allowed to make their case. And if they are coming here to seek a better economic future, please let them apply like other foreign workers do. But allowing tens of thousands to come without proper documentation and a way to legally make a future here is the recipe for disaster.
67. That's because our interior minister does only half a job
Tova M. ,   Rehovot, Israel   (05.20.12)
He's mainly concerned about getting / keeping stipends for his Shasniks and maintaining a stranglehold on the religious affairs of Israel. To hell with everyone and everything else. He should be fired for incompetence.
68. #64 and many of these people were great soldiers in the army
Motti   (05.20.12)
Fighting front line, defending Israel. I've been to Moscow and St. Peterburg many times, you'd have to be desperate to come to Israel these days to leave these great cities to come and start fresh in Israel.
69. It makes me homesick to walk around TA,so I dont go there
Alan ,   SA   (05.20.12)
70. A Liberal is someone who hasnt been mugged and stabbed yet
Alan ,   SA   (05.20.12)
71. african refugees
dannykid ,   Sydney   (05.20.12)
can anyone tell me which leftist groups support the reffugees? Ynet maybe?
72. jewish criminals
Michael Forge ,   Israel   (05.20.12)
There are indeed many criminals who have committed crimes against both Jews and Christians across the world and then return to Israel or hide away. The Ministry of justice should keep track of those people. So we can confront them . They can run but can't hide out in Israel.
73. Eritrea
Michael forge ,   Israel   (05.20.12)
The situation is drastic everywhere. So are we paving the way for the United States of Africa. Or should we colonise Eritrea? It's a question of resources. What are they offering?
74. 5th generation
Vanya Makhno ,   Ariel Israel   (05.21.12)
hey guy allot of the children of those Russian's Serve in the army and pay taxes. The way i see it there is no problem with that.
75. to Jarda 2
Markos ,   Czech Republic   (05.21.12)
I am a Czech just like you, but I find your post here detached from reality as you got your history mixed up. Though most Jews were forcefully expelled from their homeland of the land of Israel back in 137 AD, there has been a continuous Jewish presence in the land for 4000 years. It is the arabs who are the visitors to the land of Israel. The Czech Republic continues to be one of the friendliest countries to Israel in Europe and I hope it stay that way and people who hold your views stay away from foreign relations, especially regarding Israel.
76. Not only should we deport them
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (05.21.12)
But also deport the NGOs and the Supreme Court that violate our laws to keep these criminals in our country.
77. To: No. 49
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.21.12)
The Czech people are considered Western Slavs and the Czech tongue is a Slavic language. You are the ignorant one.
78. To: No. 63
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.21.12)
I'm not the one who raised the issue, now, am I? The only identifiable group on earth today who are indigenous to Israel are the Jews. So stuff it.
79. African immigration
Floriane Simone ,   Israel   (05.21.12)
Enough of protecting the world! The world hates us, time to care of ourselves. Enough of these immigrants who thrash our holy land, commit crimes. When is the Goverment going to act! It is already too late to act, protests should be starting to sympathize with the victims and force the Goverment to address this Plague!Time for massive alyah to replenish the country.May people be aware of the emergency to all be united in Eretz before the world takes it over
80. Have we forgotten what it is to be an alien???
Jason ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.23.12)
Exodus 22:21 "You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt."
