31. DEPORT THEM ALL
Mike Caton ,   USA   (05.23.12)
Deport them all immediately!!! All cultures are NOT the same--some are inferior to others. The Leftist nutjobs cling to their lethal belief that all culturres are the same in the modern world. This is patently false. Do not allow the airhead Leftists to destroy Jewish Israel--a superior culture.I am not a racist, but a culturist.
32. Jarred, I'm sure you don't live at Jane and Finch

33. Re #25
Andrew Brehm ,   Zurich   (05.23.12)
How could refugees enter another country legally when that other country is filled with people who hate them? What would be their choice? Stay in Sudan and be murdered? Remain in Egypt and be treated like subhuman scum? What's the point of arguing that one should expel refugees because they are illegal aliens. Of course they are illegal aliens. That's what being a refugee is. They are not tourists, they are refugees.
34. Re #17 Aliya
Andrew Brehm ,   Zurich   (05.23.12)
"How sad that most of the Jews of the world prefer to live outside the Land of Israel" Look at 80% of the comments about how African refugees ought to be treated and you see one reason why.
35. Careful there...
NYJ ,   NYC   (05.23.12)
Sentiments like that conatin some fearful symmetry to early-30s Germany.
36. Andrew from Zurich attacking the one in US??
m   (05.23.12)
You mean you want all the africans in Switzerland? Funny you attack the guy in US for not being in Israel, did you look at what you wrote? Aren't you from Zurich?
37. There is nothing wrong with maintaining peoplehood.
Michael ,   Toronto   (05.23.12)
Yes, Germany should not let in too many immigrants lest the country entirely lose its culture and way of life. Immigrants need to be given time to become culturally German. In fact, this is why all countries limit immigration, to preserve identity. The same argument applies to Jewish culture just that it's harder to become Jewish. Israel can only tolerate a certain number of immigrants.
38. Hiding under righteous indignation to whatever Israel does
m   (05.23.12)
All antisemites, from Europe especially, would LOVE Israel to be destroyed, either by arabs or by africans, just destroy it already. Whatever they didn't succed in 1948 years they want it done NOW.
39. This is not hatred or racism, put them out
Ronald ,   U.K.   (05.23.12)
There is no country on this planet that can sustain an influx of an ethnic variant that will never be integrated in a society and treated as equals,,, put these people out even if you have to pay these people to leave,,, put them out.
40. Message to the British and the French
Tom W ,   USA   (05.23.12)
1. Sudan was administered by the British. It's only natural that they ought to accept refugees from their old colonies. Moreover they have the means and the "moral" foundation. 2. The French newest minister of Justice is a black lady, Christiane Taubira from Fr. Guyana: no solidarity with her fellow blacks? 3. Not to mention the Black Hussein O. a supreme leader of Negroes' the world over. Why not the "Multikulti" EU -- champion of "Diversity offering asylum? Greece building a wall to stop the infiltration, the French deported the Romanian Gypsies, but the 6 million Jew under mortal threat supposed to pay for the big powers colonialism... Right? No way!
41. #37. Michael: This is the Canadian Law
Tom W ,   USA   (05.24.12)
You are unaware of the Canadian Law: "The Canadian Multiculturalism Act is a law, which was passed in 1988, aims to preserve and enhance multiculturalism in Canada." "The federal government, under Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, declared in 1971 that Canada would adopt multicultural policy. Canada would recognize and respect its society included diversity in languages, customs, religions, and so on." (Wiki) Canada is not a nation, only an economical conglomerate on a geographical expanse ; a perfect place to accommodate anybody applying for asylum.
42. #28
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (05.24.12)
Spin it all you want, wanting to defend the LEGAL population of your country is not only "OK", it's the obligation of the government. As I said - any who are found to be LEGAL ASYLUM SEEKERS, by all means take them in. You, however, just want to label any old joe from Africa as a "refugee". Your logic on my citizenship is baffling. "Who says I (a Jew) should be in America"? I was a natural born citizen, I didn't INVADE America! If the Africans want to come to Israel, Germany, USA, SWITZERLAND - THEN FINE! But they must do so legally. What is it about you leftists that absolutely INSIST on breaking the law?
43. Reply to number 40
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (05.24.12)
To be fair, Britain and France have taken in a very large number of people from their former empires. In London I doubt that even 50% of the people are broadly 'Anglo-Saxon' Christians. British identity has been eroded and the C of E has identity problems.
44. Each an everyone of them MUST go!
Phoenix ,   Israel   (05.24.12)
This is a very small country home of the Jewish People. Africans have a whole continent! What they want to come all here? There is no place for them here. They share nothing with us and have nothing in commun with us. They are thirdworlders from primitive places that can't and will never be able to behave in a civilizes society, less here among the Jewish People. I suffer Goim outside, do I have to bare this scum from the third world raping our women and daughters? If Netanyahu would have being making his job, non of these parasites would be here now. All of them must be deported, keep the country of the Jews for the Jews!
45. #13:For a country that neatly made away with it's Jews
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.24.12)
Poland is not a shining example of universal, brotherly love, is it? ...and you are like what, 40 mil. strong? Still you couldn't stomach us in '68... (then population: 30 mil.)
46. To 22, MounieH
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (05.24.12)
My dear, Israel is loved by us, true Christians and Democrats, because She represents the great values of your people and your religion. Surely, her territory belongs to you at first, but also to minorities, since they uphold the duties derived from citizenship. Of course, Israel must have, always, a Jewish majority. Nevertheless, do not accept intolerance as a policy about immigration. Salutes.
47. Comment on 41
Joseph ,   London UK   (05.24.12)
By its very nature of being both British and French, Canada has always been at least 'bicultural'. I recall that during the 1930's Canada,unlike Britain, refused to accept Jewish refugees fleeing Germany and Austria.
48. #30. ZURICH HUH? GO FIX A WATCH
...DACON9   (05.24.12)
A committee of historians concluded in 2001 that the policy pursued by the Swiss between 1933, when Hitler came to power in Germany, and 1945, when he was finally defeated by the Allied forces, had been "excessively restrictive." The Swiss parliament adopted the rehabilitation law in 2004 as a result, setting up a commission to investigate the injustice done to people in Switzerland who took it upon themselves to help Jews escape Nazi persecution. WANT MORE? BY THE WAY, BILL GATES IS INSTALLING FONT SIZE 98 FOR ME NEXT WEEK . YOU ARE CALLED AN OVEREDUCATED IDIOT .
49. Deportation Now!
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.24.12)
Israel has not only the right but the obligation to deport those who have come to our nation by stealth. This is our one and only Jewish Homeland. We can't play host to everyone who is unhappy in their homeland. Deportation Now!
50. just not here
rm ,   Amsterdam NL   (05.24.12)
oh it's about demography isn't it? That's sounds so much better than labelling them all criminals doesn't it? Makes it so much less xenophobic or racist... Except that it doesn't.....
51. The question of legality
Rivkah F. ,   Jerusalem   (05.24.12)
Since most African and many other immigrants are here illegally, they should prove their need for asylum or be deported. Most are here because of their failed countries of origin, not because of danger to their lives, just for economic reasons. The biggest hypocrites are those who want to destroy illegal outposts but keep illegal immigrants. This country was not founded as a refuge for anyone seeking work. Those who which to change its raison d'etre should change its foundation document The Israel Declaration of Independence & vote on taking in everyone first.
52. Keep America American - Jews out!
Ben ,   NYC   (05.24.12)
Fortunately, America does not follow such deeply stupid thoughts... But in Israel, the asylum seekers should be driven out? Are you aware what a crab are you saying here???
53. Al deport russian alcoholics who came in by fraud
Dan ,   Naharyia   (05.24.12)
These no good Russians came in by fraud and who's parents were killing Jews in the gulags must be put out!!!!
54. There is only one Jewish nation.
Reuven   (05.24.12)
Keep it that way.
55. To #34, Andrew in Zurich
Rachel ,   Israel   (05.24.12)
I don't see Switzerland taking in tens of thousands of Africans, so stop criticizing Israel.
56. Israel has not yet learned how to be multicultural.
Barbara Spectre ,   Sweden   (05.24.12)
Israel has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think africans are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Israel is not going to be the monolithic jewish society that they once were in the last century. Africans are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Israel to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode, and Africans will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Israel will not survive.
57. Melting pot, ADL
Abraham Foxman ,   United States   (05.24.12)
Israel is a melting pot and needs to learn to embrace multiculturalism and tolerance. Diversity is our strenght.
58. Once again, Jews prove that they are the problem
Woody ,   South TLV, Israel   (05.24.12)
I stood in the middle of the right wing protest yesterday. At times I was shoulder to shoulder with Ben Ari. I wanted to hear what was said because I am a resident of the neighborhood. Ben ari is not. Neither are the MKs who showed up. They are outsider racist Jewish supremacists, like the author of this article. I have lived all over this country including deep in the West Bank. Underlying all of the problems we face are these backwards, sometimes sophisticatedly liberal, racists. This attitude is the problem the world had and now will continue to have with Jews. The fantasy that "they hate us" is just that. What the world hates is the supremacist racism that I'd it was carried by another group would roundly and violently be rejected as fascist hate. Good luck plunging into the past with your dream of a pure state, it will, I promise, revisit the horrors on us that you claim to be liberating us from.
59. #56-Complete nonsense !!!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (05.24.12)
Israel is a melting pot of Jews from 50+ countries and from different backgrounds, plus muslims, christians and many others. The africans have an entire continent to live and let them go to other countries. Israel is a Jewish state and should be so. Israel will be Jewish and your multicultural and monolilthic BS garbage is pure BS. Kick all illegals out including the invented fakestininans.
60. This is odd
Rhyden ,   England   (05.24.12)
This is quite odd, considering a lot of people hate Jews because they're some of the top politicians demanding Europe must be more multicultural. There is no white homeland left, so why should the Jews get one?
