no way !   (05.25.12)
2. There's a little Nazi in all of us...

Just goes to show, stupid is as stupid does. People can become animals at a moment's notice.
3. "Lovely people".. yeah right. WAKE UP!!

4. # 1 - Implicitly Then...
Thurman Reed ,   Los Angeles, CA, USA   (05.25.12)
According to your statement, implicitly, Jewish perpetrators of violence against migrants should not be held accountable for their actions, whereas, all illegal migrants originating from the African continent that reside in Israel, are rapist unconditionally. Smh. This has not been Israel's finest hour trust me, its enemies are taking this to the bank in the propaganda wars.
5. Not what Herzl meant
Avramele   (05.25.12)
Being a normal people in our own land does not mean aping the worst attributes of racism and the hatred of the other. As Torah tells us, we too were strangers in foreign lands. Between open borders and pogroms there is a middle ground solution that combines compassion with self interest.
6. oh, israel
daniel ,   helsinki   (05.25.12)
i lived there, and then realized how utterly racist people there are from the most liberal to the most conservative. this doesn't news doesn't surprise me. i'm ashamed for the country that took me in.
7. First come racist words, then racist violence
Sam ,   US   (05.25.12)
The same thing happened in Germany in the 1930s How not surprising to see violence now occurring in Israel. And while racist violence occurs in all Western nations (to an extent) only in Israel have the leaders contributed to it. Perhaps if Israelis didn't spend so much time trying to deflect blame, this wouldn't happen. Instead their content to tell themselves that because such things happen elsewhere, it's okay. And things will certaily get worse (because, again, so many Israelis can't face the truth.)
8. The botom line is, THEY HAVE TO GO HOME!
Efraim ,   in Virginia   (05.25.12)
Israel cannot afford to support their cause. They should go to their muslim brothers. Hanging out all day long in Israel will not solve their problems. This promotes crime and destoys communities. I saw it happen in Europe. Nothing good will come from this. Look at London, look at Paris. Its a mess. -- ISRAEL FIRST!
9. This gang should be welcomed
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (05.25.12)
in Budapest, against the antisemitic bands. Jewish monuments are vandalized daily, yesterday the Wallenberg statue, today the Martyr's monument in the Danube shore. Government makes nothing against it.
10. #6 "they're ALL racists" ? but many condemned the violence
GZLives   (05.25.12)
the following day. The PM condemned it. So your claim that all in Israel are racist is far from accurate. In fact its completely wrong. It would be more accurate to say some are racists just as some in every society are racists - just as you apparently are racist and probably never lived in Israel at all and are just the usual bigot forever looking for a way to demonize the Jewish people.
11. #6
(05.25.12)
Odd that this "racist" country took you in... Perhaps the shame lies with the state having had such a vile citizen. No matter now, both parties must be satisfied, with you being free of racism and Israel being free of the "pope". Can I smell your feces one day? I'm willing to wager that you'd swear to the world your feces smells like perfume. Odd because mine smells exactly like it should, like sh!t. Glad to know you have discovered a way around this. In any event the attacking of migrants is reprehensible. Yet, posters like you detract tremendously by lumping a whole people into a category, oddly enough, the same behavior you decry in Israelis. One day Daniel of Helsinki perhaps you will join civilized man in realizing the world is not so black and white.
12. #7 Sam, that's false
Jake   (05.25.12)
"Only in Israel have the leader's contributed to it". That's a grotesque lie. The Israeli leaders severely criticized the violence as well as the comments made by the MK's at the rally (who, by the way, are not government ministers). But why let the facts get in the way of a good Israel-bashing, eh?
13. Just asking . . .
Danny ,   London UK   (05.25.12)
In the same article you mention 'infiltrators' and 'migrants'. What is the difference between the two? Is one legal and one not?
14. Racism cannot be part of the Jewish character.
Israeli 2   (05.25.12)
Racists do exist everywhere...but this is NOT the case here. In this case, the entire "normal" country is in favor of deporting them not because they are black but because they came into Israel illegaly causing in addition a burden on everyone else.
15. Not Racism
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (05.28.12)
Its not racism at all. Its a reaction to anyone who comes to a country and starts causing trouble as the Sudanese have done. I used to be very pro-Sudanese - related to their struggle in South Sudan, read how they'd themselves been raped and attacked by the Arab militias. Read a book about how they were kidnapped and enslaved in the north in Khartoum. But now, after hearing about weekly rapes dished out by Sudanese and Eritreans in Tel Aviv and robberies every week, I'm getting tired of these "refugees". I'm not the only one either, certain other Ynet readers I know that reside in Tel Aviv are also very angry about this. We CONDONE these beatings and only wish we could come along and join in. This is not the end of it... its just the beginning.
