I pray that all those serving the Lord find Sanctuary. Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. 1 John 3:10

Eritrean ,   Eritrea   (06.18.12)
I couldn't believe the picture of Yishai with s.sudanese refugees, to take a picture with this facist man questions some ones normality! a man who openly violeted thier human dignity doesn't deserve a happy picture with his captives, on my eyes he is like Hitler for the lives of refugees!!!

The three characteristics of a jewish leftiest: (1) they wish to apologyse to non-jews the fact he/she is a jew by doing anything that erodes the existance of Israel, (2) they feel petrified of fear if anyone claims he/she is not being leftiest enough, and (3) they hate facts as, for example, allowing these illegals to stay in Israel threatens its existance.
6. That's Great News!
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (06.18.12)
Only 59,873 illegal infiltrators left to go.
7. "No other country will agree to accept us."
Yisraeli   (06.18.12)
Oh dont you worry about that, many will accept you especially South Sudan that is just building up and for money they will welcome you with a band. Only question of how much will it cost Israel.

11. To #2 Eritrean
Phoenix ,   Israel   (06.18.12)
You have no rights here! You are illegals not refugees. We will take action against any foreigner infiltraiting our country. You do not belong here and the fact that you are calling our minister Nazis while you are living in our country without permission only proves how abusive and ignorant you African Illegals are. You do not belong here and you have no rights here! Go to protest in your own country. This is not your country so shut up!
12. #2-Israel is not a place for Africans.Africa is for Africans

You took the words right out of my mouth.
14. No. 11 Phoenix

How long has your family been living in Israel for? Two generations? Three? When your grandparents came here from Europe seeking asylum from those who wished to kill them, what made them any different? The color of their skin? The fact that they belonged to a particular race or religion? I'm ashamed at how hypocritical my own people are. How have us Jews forgotten our history so quickly? Have the lessons of the past not taught us anything?

Phoenix ,   Israel   (06.18.12)
Shlomi, you have noble sentiments; Sadly we are talking about Laws. What is so hard for you to understand? Illegals breaking our law and entering our country without permission to commit crimes and take jobs from our citizens. This is a Problem of so many levels that you seem not to get through your head. We are talking about Population problems, Crimes and enconomy. We cannot with our taxes bare a whole community of Illegals. We have no where to put them. This is the State of Israel!!! Africans have a whole continent for G-d Sake. Why cannot you get the amount of problems that will mean to our population to let hundreds of thousands of africans in??? Do we have place or money? NO! And Besides we do not have an obligation to take these people which are just looking for a better economy not really refugees. Open your Eyes! Think with your brain not with your over sentimental heart!
17. In no other country will Aliens be treated with such respect
. ,   .   (06.18.12)
They have nice clothes, well groomed, clearly happy no other country will treat illegal aliens with this much respect
18. lets get the haredi to help as a form of national service
zionist forever   (06.18.12)
Sadly we cannot deport the Eritreans because it convenes international conventions Israel has signed on sending refugees back to a country where their lives will be in danger but we can arrest them all and put them in detention centres until the day comes when they can be sent home or deported to a third but safe country. Lets draft some of the haredi to help the police on this specific task because right now the police would prefer we just let them stay because they have better things to do that go after illegals. Lets set up a special police station exclusively for dealing with illegals and the legal work at the station is taken care of by regular police who have access to records but the haredi can be drafted and trained up to stop suspected illegals on the street rounding up anybody who cannot prove they have a right to be there. Police do the legal work & haredi do the footwork. There are also thousands of illegal non African economic migrants who need to be deported and can be without any legal issues because they are not refugees. Get the police some help in doing the dirty work and we can really make progress with both Africans & non Africans.

You just repeated almost word for word the advice Roosevelt's advisers gave him when the issue of whether to accept Jewish refugees fleeing Europe was brought up in the White House. Once again - we must learn from the lessons of our past, instead of throwing a blind eye to them. As Jews, we of all people are obligated to assist those being prosecuted in their times of need. The couple who sheltered my grandparents during the Shoah were thinking with thei hearts, not their brains. I wouldn't be here writing this were it not for them. They sacrificed their comfortable and cozy lifestyle to save others who needed their help. It's time for us a as a people to not forget everything that history has taught us.
