1. Excuse me, he's demanding what? oh really....
Jew ,   JewLandia   (06.14.12)
Israel is here for the Jews. Israel is not here to solve the employment problems of Africa. AFRICA MUST TAKE CARE OF ITS OWN AND NOT EXPECT ISRAEL TO DO THAT FOR THEM!
2. Undignified? It's heavy.....
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (06.14.12)
Show some dignity for your citizen and do what Israel did in 1991 when Falashas were brought in non stop in two days. Send (or charter) as many planes as you can and take them home.
3. Undignified?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.14.12)
Oh! Is Israel expected to commission a fleet of Rolls Royces to return these illegal aliens to their homeland in grand style? Criminals wear handcuffs. Period. Full stop. Illegal aliens are criminals. They are somewhere they have right to be. And the only reason they were handcuffed is because they did not surrender voluntarily, but rather had to be rounded up. That's just how it goes. If the South Sudanese government wants something a little more "dignified," they can charter the fleet of Rolls Royces.
4. Throw them out no excuses..stop being the worlds floormat
Al   (06.14.12)
Should you not throw them out, you WILL lose your country. No excuses whatsoever. THEY MUST GO.
5. How Much
grodd ,   USA   (06.14.12)
Money & weapons is it going to cost to get rid of them? This is why live ammunition has to be used at the border. Get ready to deport to Gaza strip.
6. stop being worlds floormat
mike gilgal ,   eli israel   (06.14.12)
Who is this "your country" While I fully agree that we should get rid of every single non jew I just as strongly feel that the Christians should get rid of everysingle Jew living in the exile. I strongly recomend that you read by Rav Kahane "Listen World Listen Jew" which gives a historicle and non torah reasons for leaving the exile as well as "Torah and Zionism?" written annonomously giving torah reasons why np jew belongs outside the beloved garrden of G-d
7. # 4 - yes, that great rabbi and modern day prophet did
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.14.12)
write a book by that name BUT he also wrote a book entitled UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS FOR COMFORTABLE JEWS. And so here's one for you: WHY AREN'T YOU HERE? You cannot give me any excuse so don't bother. I uprooted my family and my life to follow that rabbi's words. WHY AREN'T YOU?
8. #1 Flawed Logic
Jason ,   Tel Aviv   (06.14.12)
By that logic, no Jew or Israeli will ever be able to request refugee status or immigrate to any other nation in the world. You can't have your cake and eat too.
9. Wow did Israel disrupt their terrorist plans?
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (06.14.12)
Please they just need two more months to make their arrangements !
10. they are illegals and if they are not happy we don' t care
(06.14.12)
11. @8 I have "my cake" its called Israel & I love living here!
Jew ,   JewLandia   (06.14.12)
But thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with me. Wishing you a lovely day!
12. Jason ur logic is flawed...
Yosefa ,   Israel   (06.14.12)
any one from any country any where in the world may request to LEGALLY immigrate to any other country in the world. The issue here is that these people are economic migrant workers who ILLEGALLY INFILTRATED into Israel. Regarding a Jew or an Israeli's right to request refugee status from any other nation in the world. ISRAEL EXISTS FOR JEWS AND ISRAELIS everywhere in the world. This is our home!
13. What a bladdy cheek !!
Aviva ,   Israel.   (06.14.12)
14. Israel is a UN signatory state.
Pro Humanity ,   Israel   (06.14.12)
The majority of these people are refugees! Under these grounds Israel has a right to protect these people. Instead they have only ever granted 0.2% of African refugees who have come here, refugee status. Why sign up and agree to adhere to UN laws if you are not acting in line with them? Almost all cases have been rejected out of hand and the most under ridiculous grounds. This is outrageous. They are sending people back , many of whom may be killed. Some people have had children here who speak Hebrew and only know this way of life. They are going back to an alien world. Giving them a week to pack up, sometimes a decades worth of stuff is crazy. They have lost rights to access their bank accounts and are in real fear everyday of arrest unless they pull their children out of school, leaves the jobs and leave within a week. Some of the comments I've read here appear to be just out right racism. I have always been pro Israel, but when I read these sort of comments it's hard to remain that way.
15. South Sudan Is a new, Republic
Nyanwa ,   Juba, South sudan   (06.14.12)
South sudan is not a terrorist state. we are mentioned in the bible we the people of Kush are Gods people
16. These people were refugees! Not illegals, you foolish people
Pure ignorance ,   Canada   (06.14.12)
South Sudanese are not enemies of Israelis, god forbid Israelis ever end up refugees, we are one of the closet countries that can take people in. This is huge mistake mistreat South Sudanese, don't isolate yourselves from a potentially close ally. South Sudan is one of the few countries that would likely go to war along side Israel if the time ever came. Terrible mistake.
17. Yes # 15 Nyanwa
Kerk ,   Canada   (06.14.12)
But try to understand , Israel is the smallest country in the World and really cant afford to bring in to many people. Israel is trying to help your new found country but you must reciprocate in a manner that israel can survive. Visits are the right thng to do and to stand up against the muslim brotherhood whos main goal is to destroy the World and for the Jewish peoples who are relentlesly chastised for being Jewish. Have a heart, I'm sure they deam you as brothers. Just a thought and best of luck with your future
18. travel and see
nicole ,   chicago,usa   (06.14.12)
a jewish man was deported from canada because used an army story to file for a refugee status ,he was asked to home and answer his country's CLARION CALL,since he doesn't have any exemptions
19. A disgrace to the Torah and Israel
jay abouaf ,   Jaffa, Israel   (06.14.12)
You are absolutely right. The behaviour of Eli Yishai, Miri Regev and Arye Eldad, and many of our citizens, breaks my heart. This cruel and unnecessary hardheartedness towards these refugees is an horrible sin. The consequences for our nation, in many ways, are very dangerous. These people pose NO threat to us and their presence here could be very beneficial if properly dealt with.
20. #16 These people are not refugees today
Netanya ,   Netanya   (06.15.12)
The S. Sudanese were refugees, but now that S. Sudan is a country, they need to go and build it, with Israel's support and help, but living in Israel is not a good idea for them or us. Israel and S. Sudan will always be compatriots and we do love them, but the time has come for them to go home.
21. #20 I'm not against repatriation, I'm against mistreatment
Pure ignorance ,   Canada   (06.15.12)
People don't need to have their houses set on fire, be harassed in the street or while they're being detained, and what ever else has been going on. That is wrong. There is no need for this.
22. # 16
Miriam ,   Miami, USA   (06.18.12)
Invite them to Canada. It's a big country with lot's of room. Send them airplanes and bring them home to Canada.
23. #21
Miriam ,   Miami, USA   (06.18.12)
What houses set on fire. they do not own houses Invite them to Canada, treat them right, give them houses.
