He just forget where he where
2. Refugee Relief
Zivron   (06.10.12)
A Fund ought be established to check the success of and safety of return to homelands like the Uganda research Committee of 1903.Certainly the conditions can never be as bad as for the serfs in Europe and if they are Israel and world agencies ought remit aid. To ensure their safety .Thats- a minimum provision.
3. Eli Yishai: Just make certain the very last
Israeli 2   (06.10.12)
of them are out of Israel!! Those who are economically self sufficient, have stores and were here over ten years should be able to have due consideration and dealt with last. For ALL of the remaining 99%, no jails! JUST EXIT ANYWHERE from Israel to ANYWHERE else.
4. TREAT THEM WELL .....SEND THEM BACK
AMERICAN HINDU ,   USA   (06.11.12)
The mistake was in letting them in in the first place. When they saw that they could stay illegally, the trickle became a flood. Now the government has to deal with the unpleasant task of sending them back. Israel has no choice, and has to send them back, but should treat them with respect and compassion while doing so.
5. best solution deport Eli Yishai

6. lessons learned
zelig ,   memphis   (06.11.12)
when the illegal immigrants are returned to their homes they will remember what it was like to earn a living in a liberal democracy.To be sure,they will spew venom towards Israel for sending them home but they will also spew venom towards their arfrican leaders who only have money for ak-47's and for nothing of benefit to them or their familieis.
7. Entry points must be guarded until the
Reuven   (06.11.12)
fence is completed. If all are detained in holding facilities, most will be happy to return to where they came from. If necessary, find an uninhabitated island and transfer many of them there. Let them start a new country (which will undoubtedly be Muslim).
8. #4 Completely agree

9. #5 How about
Alex   (06.11.12)
deporting you instead? Because in this question Yishai is right.
10. people should fix their own countries instead of taking the
problems to others   (06.11.12)
or maybe they should go to Europe. maybe then European stop inviting all thoes millions of people from Arab and Moslem lands who not only have big countires, they also have oil and many natural resources that can make them rich. Millions of people from big Arab and Moslem States who do have big countries are immigrating to European countries instead of fixing their cultural problems which has made their homelands not as desirable to live as Europe. All thoes millions of Arabs and Moslems have not lost their lands. they have even stolen non-Moslems lands by forcing them to leave those lands so that they can have these huge "Arab states' or "moslem states" only to Moslems, and they still wish to live in Europe and Canada and occupy thoes lands too.
11. He's got a point with the U.N.
Ezra ,   sandiego   (06.11.12)
The UN is the first group to criticize the state of Israel, but the last to help with the onslaught of non-Jewish immigrants. The UN is no friend to Israel. Why? Many of the members come from Islamic dictatorships. Duh!

14. Only Eli Yishai it's defending Israel...
Phoenix ,   Israel   (06.11.12)
Only Eli Yishai it's doing something to stop and finish this disgusting invation of African Savages. This is the Land of the Jews, Africans are far away from their lands. Besides Africa has many countries and it is a huge continent why all africa want to invade Israel? They are disgusting and abusive, demanding rights in a nation they are illegaly. Disgusting savages. Besides they are most of the Muslims, Go to Saudi or to another Muslim Country why here? Only Elis Yishai will defend Israel from these pest! Netanyahu has shown how useless he is, Shame on him. The daughters of Israel are being raped every day by this horde of africans and he couldn't care less.

Try my statistics, 50,000 or 60,000 being rounded up deported, leaves zero remaining
18. Israel
Gebre ,   San Jose   (06.13.12)
Israel is a UN founded State. It should without any reservation, accept a U.N.H.C.R.'s recommendation for the situation. Israel's right to exist, comes with more responsibilities than any other country. That is not too much to ask. Even the US considers itself as a nation of immigrants. The UN may have to raise funds to alleviate the financial strain on Israel. As for the Eritrean exodus, the root of the problem is the Eritrean Dictatorship itself. If it's the problem, how could it be part of the solution? It is like the criminal is the investigator; good luck.

20. #18 Nonsense
Jake   (06.15.12)
Shameful and erroneous post. Go back and learn History 101. The repeated claim that "Israel is a UN founded state" is one of the most fantastic and oft repeated LIES of the last 64 years. The UN Partition PLAN (you can go read it yourself, UNGA RES. 181) was a non-binding RECOMMENDATION which was approved by the General Assembly, tentatively accepted by the Jews, but rejected outright by the Arabs, declared unworkable by the British, and NEVER adopted by the Security Council for implementation. Security Council passed a resolution (Res. 44) requesting that the UN Secretary General "convoke a special session of the General Assembly to consider further the question of the future government of Palestine" (i.e. replacing the failed Partition Plan). The General Assembly disbanded the Palestine Commission of all its responsibilities under the Partition Plan resolution, and appointed a UN Mediator to come with entirely new proposals, which ultimately were rejected by both sides and came to nought. The UN Security Council has also passed a resolution (46) guaranteeing that requests made by the UN of both sides (Arab and Jewish) were "without prejudice to their rights, claims, or positions". Long story short, the legal entitlements of Israel as the Jewish National Home were enshrined by the League of Nations into binding international law in 1920 and 1922, a quarter century before the creation of UN. The notion that " Israel's right to exist, comes with more responsibilities than any other country" is the most ridiculous nonsensical notion I have ever heard. The last organization on earth that Israel should be beholden to is the UN, with its automatic majority of voting blocs that are innately hostile to Israel and condemn Israel, if for no other reason than to give the illusion that at least on one issue in the world there should be "international unity".

22. shocking and in humane speech
eritreanrefugee ,   israel,eilate   (06.21.12)
Ohhhhh dear minister I think you have forgot the work of God! It is not you that could do any thing. It is he, The Almighty and he knew who you are. Besides to this you have forgoten that God has brought us to check the Jewish community whether you remeber your past events. Nobody is eager to wash your dishes and toilet for unsuficient money. Nobody is satisfied to be lead and disturbed by the unqualified managers who knew none on the leadership matter, humanity,ethics, morals and etc. At last but not least we africans are being the most advntegous of all to the campanies for being most commited and trusted on work, and to the state for we are being taxed double of the citense It is our problem that made us to do these all. On your comment to Eritrean ambassador he is not our egent. We left our beloved and costy country because of the firty minded leaders we had there whose the ambassader is one of them. Had the present sustem overthrown, you would not find even a single pure Eritrean for weeks in your jewish state. May the Almightysolve our problem and teach your zionist dream!!!!!!
23. Yishai: Eritrea as dangerous as Sderot
shi ,   melbourne australia   (06.24.12)
my comment to Yishai, as you said the Eritrean people do work to live and as you know they are paid less to do any job to live because they are proud people and very committed too. if you read your history, you will find that when your ancestors fled to Eritrea and Ethiopia they lived there and no one bothered them till you people you misled them and stole them from our country. it is obvious you are feeling strong and forget what life is hiding for you. You are a member of world community and you if you believe Israel is your country and as any country under the UN law you have certain obligation to treat people fair and at least talk about them in a better way than the language you are using after all you are only and only human being like those people you are humiliating and you do not know what the future holds?
