1. Jobs sure as heck won't work
glen ,   israel   (05.20.12)
Soon as the word's out there are jobs to be had, they'll be headed out in boatloads. As usual, the P.M. has dithered for so long that the wake-up call has come too late. What's happened all over Europe is now happening here: thousands of unskilled people with nothing to contribute but crime and dirt.
2. DEPORT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.20.12)
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Eli Yishai
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (05.20.12)
Yishai is again uttering his irresponsible drivel. Well, what can we expect from the pupil of the disgusting hate-filled Yosef with his garbage telling us that the life of a "goy" isn't worth saving if it's Shabbat? Well it seems like they shouldn't be given jobs either now less they contaminate the environment. What exactly does Yishai suggest then? That they starve and steal to exist? If they are here then they won't just hide under the carpet will they? Bibi says the problem exists for 7 years already - well why has it taken so long to do something about it?

6. Perhaps TARGETING the heads of the Bedouin
Adina Kutnicki,Israe   (05.20.12)
clans who help smuggle them is a good start.Why the hell not?? Giving them jobs is akin to lighting a fuse to Israel's destruction as a Jewish State AND rewarding people for their illegal behavior!! The fact that so called law enforcement heads even suggest such malfeasance renders them INCAPABLE of securing the national interest. While the illegals must be removed-by any means necessary-the leaders who seek to give them jobs must be removed too!! See my son's op-ed at the Jerusalem Post on this very subject-Miluim On The Border', June 2011.

What, can't you find some 4-year old Filipino kid to pick on instead today?
8. Remove them NOW!
Reuven   (05.20.12)
Don't wait for the fence to be completed.
9. Mike from Carmiel has jobs for Africans,go to him

10. african illegals
moron ,   galut   (05.20.12)
what kind of government lets this problem start in the first place?they are easy to identify are they not?
11. Let's do what the Americans do...
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.20.12)
to infiltrators from Mexico or any other country. America is the bastion of freedom and liberty. If we do it their way, nobody can complain. Oh by the way, they expel all infiltrators. They do not give them work permits and do not let them stay!!!
12. It's Israeli's obligation to protect those seeking asylum
Tel Aviv   (05.20.12)
The Israeli government should remember that they signed an international convention (the 1951 Refugee Convention), agreeing to protect those who are fleeing their home countries because of persecution and violence.
13. In Eilat they first gave them jobs. Then more came.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (05.20.12)
Asylum and job seekers first started showing up in Eilat some seven years ago. Back then they numbered in the hundreds. Israelis, showing their compassionate side, started arranging jobs and places to stay in the hotel industry. Word got out that they would be safe and even welcome in Israel, and it became for friends and family a Promised Land. It's now a major destination for those fleeing the many failed states in Africa. As bad as it's getting, the numbers are even worse in Sweden, a choice destination for asylum seekers from Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan. Given their almost "open door" immigration (which most Swedes oppose), perhaps they'll take some of Israel's "refugee" population.
14. You Israelis need to get your understanding fixed.
Ken Quinn ,   Ashalim   (05.20.12)
It is a direct attack on your country by the globalists to send these criminals across your borders. They are illegal, cynical, and hoping to make fools out of you just like the Mexicans made fools out of the Americans. So I suggest you Israelis get a backbone and send this fifth column back where it belongs, and fast.
15. no longer strangers in a strange land
mal ,   hasharon   (05.20.12)
familiarity breeds contempt? what is a goy?
16. Remove all illegals from Israel now!
jason white ,   afula, israel   (05.20.12)
Do not wait for the fence to be completed. Use mines and snipers to protect our borders. All smugglers should be shot and left to rot.
17. It's Not Rocket Science
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (05.20.12)
If Israel immediately sends these illegal migrants back to where they come from they will stop coming.
18. #11 What America do you come from?
Yitzchak ,   Bet Shemesh   (05.20.12)
The American I left has something like 80 million illegals in it. The government never has built a fence with Mexico. You can't speak English south of San Antonio. The emergency rooms are overrun with illegals having anchor babies in the US so decent taxpaying and insurance paying Americans cant get emergency help!!!!
19. Whiner, #12
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.20.12)
For the past three years, community leaders and Zionists have been warning of the dangers of the illegal aliens. The three men who could have done something: Netanyahu, Barak and Aharonvitch, were so busy sucking up to foreign-funded Leftists and destroying Jewish homes, that they never found the time to handle this strategic threat. Now, instead of whining, why doesn't Netanyahu take action? He could start by firing Aharonovitch and Barak. And #12, you are wrong. According to the treaty, they are refugees only in the first country they enter, Egypt. Legally speaking, they should be confined in internment camps in Egypt.
20. SECURE BIG ISRAEL, Sinai back, nonviolent transfer, BALANCE.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (05.20.12)
21. PM:For last 5000 years #1 job of gov't was to keep foreign..
S.F. Stoner ,   Carmiel, Israel   (05.20.12)
invaders out. If the government can not do this, then everything else they do is BS. Bibi should stop making speeches and get to work on a real security fence. This is now. Let him distract us with the line about Iran after he finishes this mission. He wants to be king, let him act like one.
22. Tithes
zivron   (05.20.12)
There is Rachmonas the corner of the field the gleanings the one tenth tithe.There is hatred of unjust gain.The Jews can only offer respite south Sudan ought follow chazak chazak ver tistadeck.
23. Do your Job! Deport them All!!!!!!! Now!!!
Phoenix ,   Israel   (05.20.12)
All of them must be arrested and send back to each one countries. Then the influx will stop as it will be useless to them to have to walk milles to be deported ride away! Netanyahu you must do your job and protect our citizens! Not citizen from muslim african countries. Deport them all now!!!
24. to #12
Yosef Y. MSc' ,   u   (05.20.12)
Hey, you kind (bleeding heart) soul, Hope the Sudanese illegals dwell outside your own apartment, really soon...
25. "Give them Jobs?"Like attracting Sharks with blood chum
Alan ,   SA   (05.20.12)
26. #11 Could you be any more ridiculous?
esnuffnstl ,   USA   (05.20.12)
There are millions and millions of illegals in the US. They don't NEED work permaits as there is virtually no federal enforcement against the businesses that hire them. Anyway, I doubt I'll get through to someone like yourself. Someone who targets the US (Israel's only friend in the world) for his snide remarks.
27. illegal immigrants
ida p. ,   netanya, israel   (05.20.12)
The UN has been supporting Pal. refugees, who don't need it, for 64 years. Why not help these poor unfortunates who are hopeless and helpless.

abi waltin ,   london   (05.20.12)
Have you not forgotten jews were refugees fleeing from atrocities how can you turn away these scared and vulnerable people? Where is your humanity!

Why is the only democracy in the middle east against black immigration ?They work very hard trying to make a new life in Israel so that they can provide for their families.
