...DACON9   (06.11.12)
WELL, you werent supposed to come like this either.
2. Early Passover - Cleaning out Chametz
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.11.12)
3. Migrants like animals
Floriane ,   Israel   (06.11.12)
How do these migrants treat Israel? They come here, rape,steal, get drunk, commit crimes who are the animals? We are only reacting to this aweful situation! I cannot sleep everynight because of their noise! We have heard so many excuses, it is just disgusting. 2 weeks ago those migrants put a tent outside of Bibi residence with their sign "stop racism" they give themselves rights in our beautiful while they would be killed if they did the same in their country
4. Israel Is not committed to those who break
Vardina   (06.11.12)
the law and come here illegally to become a pain in our necks.
5. They've known
grodd ,   USA   (06.11.12)
for months that they would be deported. They'll go back & try to sneak back in at a later date.
6. International conventions require Egypt,the first entry land
ab   (06.11.12)
accept Eritreans and Sudanese,not Israel. Once more Israeli Lefties have rendered the State defenceless against this organized wave aimed at erasing Jewish majority
7. The shame of it
leon ,   Britain   (06.11.12)
How many Jews are there around the world who sought a better more peaceful life than the one they were running away from?
8. Perpetual need
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.11.12)
People who do not wish to stay and work for a viable, democratic government have no right to enjoy one. Stable democracies are not built overnight, but they must be built by those who hope to reap the benefits. Those benefits are not to be found in the State of Israel. What we have, then, with respect to the South Sudanese who illegally entered Israel, is a group of people who want all the privileges of a democratic government, while not actually being willing to work for it, and make the requisite sacrifices, themselves. They want others to do the heavy lifting.
9. 70 out of 60,000
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.11.12)
A very very small number. None are refugees and all are here illegally.
10. This is necessary
American J ,   Lake Worth, FL, USA   (06.11.12)
Israel has the guts to not let its country be ovetaken by foreign criminal infiltrators who do not share its values or culture. Wish American had guts to stand up to illegal infiltrators on our country's soil.
11. ashamed Leon of GB,your BBC makes trumphant documentaries on
ab   (06.11.12)
British Immigration Police making raids in and around London and arrestíng illegals,Bangladeshi or Africans to be deported immediately. Address it first,posturer.
12. #7 There is a slight difference.
Ram ,   London   (06.11.12)
Immigrants normally have to apply for citizenship before they show up. Besides, there is a huge difference between genuine refugees whose lives would otherwise be in danger and those simply looking for a better standard of life, never mind trying to grab that and at the same time commit crimes such as theft and even rape.
13. Israel must go a step further
Black Africa   (06.11.12)
and help Black Africa, and South Sudan take out Al Bashir for causing massive refugees of our people. The AU is useless. Please ensure that this news item is played on all African television stations in Africa.
14. Leon # 7
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (06.11.12)
Everywhere the Jews have gone they have worked hard and enriched the society around them. Unlike some other groups they have not been a burden to taxpayers and insisted that other countries conform to their ways or languages. The shame of it is that in spite of the many countries in Africa not one of them is willing or able to help their own people.
15. What is the press's agenda?
Yaacov W ,   Herzylia, Israel   (06.11.12)
Until a few days ago, all YNET and most mainstream news organisations throughout Israel, were publishing fiercely negative pieces about the illegals. Now this headline 'Treated Like Animals', reveals stupidity and a press with no confidence and set agenda. YNET is a press searching for the common opinion and in a disgusting way - by changing their view point. Aside from this, these illegals are not treated like animals. Being given time to prepare for their departure (and compensated) is virtually non-existent in Western democracies. Israel is handling the situation very well.
16. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.11.12)
Yes, but they managed to become contributing and productive citizens. They were not afflicted with all manner of contagious diseases. They were not alcoholics or drug addicts. They did not steal, panhandle, or threaten the local citizens in any way, shape or form. They did not rape or molest young girls. How dare you contrast the persecution of the Jewish people with the Africans that have invaded Israel, looking for nothing but a free ride?
17. It is United Nations who has recognized,not Israel
Keren ,   IL-BR   (06.11.12)
"Eritrea has been recognized by the United Nations and the international community as a country ruled by a tyrannical regime that systematically violates human rights" . So,United Nations is obliged to resolve the problem,not Israel. UN have many refugee camps-they must take them and resolve the problem they are assigned to resolv. And about sending them to countries that Israel does not have relations,that's simple: send the back to Egypt and let Egypt resolve the problem that they are sending into Israel. That's very logical and reasonable.
18. #2 - Shame on you
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (06.11.12)
I would like to see Israelis going to South Sudan and help them, especially in light of this. Number 2's statement disgusts me.
19. # idiot comment Sarah
Keren IL-BR   (06.11.12)
Most of Jews arrived in the US after three centuries of hard work. How ignorant and stupid you are. Yes, dear, Jews arrived in the US in the same conditions as Africans: looking for a decent life. How abjectly racist you are!
20. G-d bless Israel.
Butch ,   U.S.A   (06.11.12)
# 10--- I agree with with you, however i need to add, these people say they come to America for a better life, after 2 months their homes take on the look like the place THEy, left for a better life, they can ruin a beautiful area in two weeks, rats, chickens, dogs and cats running around starving! except for the rats its pitiful.. waaa just plain NASTY!!! i'm sorry for Israel, I visit Israel each year they are great people I love them.
21. Obviously #19 is not mine.
Keren ,   IL-BR   (06.11.12)
Gross attempt.
22. deportations
jennifer ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.11.12)
The State of Israel is under NO obligation to harbor ANY illegal immigrants. If we do, soon this will no longer be a Jewish country, but a goyish one. If the United Nations is SO terribly concerned about these poor refugees, then let them be distributed amongst THEIR nations! The United Nations doesn't come to OUR aid!
23. Do you think that as israeli i can be an illegal in Africa ?
(06.11.12)
no ! then the africans must leave ASAP
24. 21
James ,   Israel   (06.11.12)
At least all the words in talkback 19 are correctly spelt.
25. #7
Sam M ,   UK   (06.11.12)
You miss the point Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people and must retain its Jewish majority and character. It isn't a sanctary for the world's poor and dispossessed. At least Israeli government policy reflects the wishes of the majority in Israel, though there's still a long way to go. A far cry from the situation in europe where mass immigration has been forced down people's throats by a largely unrepresentative liberal elite. Africans will leave with generous cash grants while friendly states like South Sudan will benefit from Israel's excellent foreign aid programme. This is exactly what spineless european governments should have done years ago! Kol hakavod!
26. # 16 And about you, dearest?
Moshe Mountbaun   (06.11.12)
How many swamps you drained in our land? How many wars you fought? How many oranges you picked before we reached this economically viable country? How hypocrite you are. Just move this fat big from the chair and go to the streets to fight for social justice. Do something instead of preaching hate and racism.
27. Cruel
Michael Pielet ,   Israel   (06.11.12)
This is cruel. Let them all stay. Change israel's name to Chelm-Uganda. Who is cruel the israeli government and d-gooders, courts, who let them stay in the first place.
28. Eritreans and somalians Protected
zivron   (06.11.12)
the eritreans and somalians are protected and ought be trained to settle in Kenya as medical infrastructural and agricultural workers on on par wages in isreal as an urgent obligation to poor people there just as israelis went to Africa before the Yom Kippur War after which despite al jewish help they broke off diplomatic relations for oil. A MUCH WORSE PHENOMENA WAS SENDING GERMAN JEWS WHO WON MEDALS IN WW1 TO THIERENSTADT TO STARVE TO DEATH AND DIE IN EPIDEMICS.
29. Look at a map
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (06.11.12)
Area of Israel: 20,700 km2 Area of Africa: 30,244,049 km2 Can Israel absorb all the migrants from Africa?
30. The Usual Hutzpah of the Thirdworlders!
Phoenix ,   Israel   (06.11.12)
They did not want to leave like this? Awwww! We are so sorry!!! You did not want to leave at all. You entered our land braking our laws and decided to stay without permission. You didn't want to leave like this? You didn't want to leave at all! All of the illegal intruders must be deported to where they came from. All the thousands of Eritreans and other Africans and Asians as well. You tought you had south Tel-Aviv for your selves ah? Back to your holes!
