1. RACISM is a PRIMITIVE reflex and got NO room in CIVILIZED

society such as Israel.
2. That's your real face ,...

3. 300 students
Menachem ,   Argentina   (09.09.12)
It doesn't seize to amaze me the amount of racism that exist in Israel today. Then again it doesn't surprise me at all. My dad told me of the racism he experienced as a Yemenite Jew in Israel back in the 50s and apparently not much has changed since.
4. Jews slowly losing their Jewishness
Mark ,   Cleveland USA   (09.09.12)
Being Jewish for thousand of years, meant trying to be ethical and compassionate for others. We have allowed terrible episodes in our history to cloud our judgment and excuse our slide away from the standard that we have been so proud of for centuries. Shame on those racist families! Even if they think the migrants should be sent home, what are they teaching their children by keeping them home from school because of a few migrant children? Will they soon be attacking migrants in the streets like the Arab teens in Jerusalem?
5. Eilat---Integration of migrant workers' kids in the schools
Allen Young ,   Concon , Chile   (09.09.12)
When I read the article about the parents' in Eilat protesting against children going to school-because they are Sudanese---the shame I felt in my heart and stomach--We are JEWS. How can we act this way! It is sickening. Once again--we are forgetting what being a Jew means. What the Torah tells us-teaches us--how to behave as Jews! I'm so ashamed. That's all.
6. #3 You're so full of BS
Alex   (09.09.12)
You know nothing of Israel. These people stand up to their rights, refusing to put your kids among illegal aliens who leech of Israeli money that could go to Israeli kids living under existence minimum or the needy elderly, is just common sense if you haven't been brainwashed by utopic far left illusions. And I say this in the sense of being a Liberal (a "real" classical Liberal) myself.
7. THIS is shameful behavior!
Belinda ,   Texas, USA   (09.09.12)
I can understand the concerns of Israeli people when it comes to immigration. A nation can immigrate herself into becoming something they were never supposed to be. HOWEVER, these are children!!!! ALL of the Israeli people that I have met are very family oriented and cherish their children. Do you really think that these children aren't going to grow up and remember the behavior of these "Jews"? This type of behavior is only going to breed more antisemitic adults in just a few years. Is there not enough of them? Why fan the flames of hatred toward the Jewish people? You are ostracizing the children and if you don't think you won't pay for that sooner or later, you would be DEAD WRONG!! Please Israel, stop this! This is how "Palestinians" behave, NOT Israeli's!! Remember, you are SUPPOSED to be a light to the nations!
8. 30 kids in four school???
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (09.09.12)
Yeah....their presence is really going to be felt. (I'm being sarcastic)
9. Do that to no man which thou hatest.
A Pernat ,   Paris   (09.09.12)
what would happen if in france or germany Parents would protest in connection with the placement of 30 migrant jewish kids ?
10. migrants
Harry Marshall ,   TelAvivIsrael   (09.09.12)
This is not about racism. Israel is a Jewish state. Jews are the majority here, our kids learn about Jewish values and holidays. What kind of future will we have if we lose our Jewish identity. What do we have in classrooms now? Holidays and teachings of all religions and nations. What about our own past present and future? Should Am Yisroel just disappear because people who don't care about the existence of the Jewish people cry "racism?"
11. INTERNATIONAL LAW dictates that the FIRST country entered
Sergio HaDaR Tezza   (09.09.12)
by refugees is responsible for them. Sudan borders with Egypt, which did not host them, not Israel. Israel has absolutely no obligation to host people who belong to a country without ANY diplomatic relations with Israel, whose president is a wanted man for genocide... People who have caused great trouble in total despise of Israel's law and citizens. Israel, if anything, has shown weakness in dealing with the whole issue, letting an incredible flow of hostile muslims enter the country, yet she gets blamed; while Egypt, where these people were eft do die in the desert or SHOT with machine gun fire by its border guards, isn't even mentioned by the talk-backers. This is double standard, that is a form of antisemitism.
12. Dear Harry Marshall
Thomas ,   Poland   (09.09.12)
I don't agree with you. Jews won't lose their Jewish identity.World is becoming multicultural. Before WWII in Poland lived few millions Jews. Poland did not lose its Polish identity. Nowadays people live in age of mobile phones, free internet. Isn't wonderful that I can write to you. Cheer up and have a good day People live in XXI century
13. Only solution: Religious schools
nethanel ,   gush   (09.09.12)
14. 10/ there will be a time
Gregg ,   Haifa Il   (09.09.12)
Where mixed people (like me) will outnumber "pure" races and therefore there will be no need of determining races and nationalities (that are ugly words) and the world will be just One world We all live in a world that has less boundaries by the day and where "different" people meet and multiply. That's a reality you'll have to face somehow

roger ,   zurich switzerland   (09.10.12)
thou shalt not do to your neighbour what you hated being done to you during the Diaspora
17. sickening idiocy
jay abouaf ,   Jaffa, Israel   (09.10.12)
Racism is the antithesis of "jewish' behaviour unfortunately, i find this as much among the secular as among the religious
18. Parents have the right
Avi ,   Israel   (09.10.12)
The parents have the right to keep their children away from the illegal Sudanese children who should not even be allowed to attend our schools in the first place.
19. Racism
Ethan Schwartz ,   Eilat   (09.10.12)
It's a shame parents are showing their children racism at such a tender age. We have one person in Eilat who dreams to be our mayor and his appeal on racism.
20. Hahaha
Ali ,   mexico   (09.10.12)
I wonder what the outrage would have been If 300 students in italy skiped school because a italian court intergated jews into the school??
21. Exactly how Los Angles schools were DESTROYED.

23. Watch 'To Kill a Mockingbird'

24. #14 Get the heck out of here...
Alex   (09.10.12)
And start kissing Stalins' ass somewhere else. What makes the humankind interesting is all the different cultures, languages and phenotypes. You're supporting a Stalinistic society where difference is forbidden. What kind of fun would life be then? Khas ve'khalilah is all I can say...
25. To: No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.10.12)
Does that mean that Israel can send its tens of thousands of illegal -- and unwanted -- aliens to Switzerland. Wouldn't you just love an opportunity to show the world just how "enlightened" the Swiss are? Why don't you take these illiterate, uneducated, medically compromised and highly infectious drunks and drug addicts into your society? Unless you're prepared to do that, stop telling Israel what it should do. Frankly, Swiss "humanitarian" history leaves a great deal to be desired, and an even greater amount which is criminal and contemptible. So, Roger Dodger. When can we send the first planeload to Zurich?
26. To: No. 12
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.10.12)
You forgot to mention WHY there are no longer several million Jews in Poland. A little thing called the Holocaust, in which a great many Poles were complicit. How do I know? Both my parents, Jewish concentration camp survivors, and now both gone, z"l, came from Poland. So shut up. I know a great deal about your nasty country's even nastier history when it comes to the way the Jewish people were treated. You can run, but you cannot hide. The entire civilized world knows exactly what the Poles did to helpless Jews within its borders. So shut up. As a Pole, you have far too much Jewish blood on your hands to comment here.
27. To: No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.10.12)
Think back to Biblical times; think about all of the groups that were around then and no longer are. Jews are here. We will ALWAYS be here because we are not, for the most part, interested in multiplying with others. Although -- what do you care about multiplying? Given your preferences, you'll never have the opportunity to multiply with anyone (unless you want to be a donor, and most Jewish women will specify a Jewish donor). So your opinion really doesn't matter, does it?
28. Horrific behaviour, anyone remember Little Rock?
Kevin ,   Tel Aviv / Boston   (09.10.12)
2012 and it's the same as 1957 in Arkansas; the US matured, is Israel really that far behind??? Protest integration?? Pathetic
29. #6#10
A Pernat ,   Paris   (09.10.12)
according to the jewish welfare center in germany , germany had a considerable increase of jewish immigration from 29.089 in 1990 to 188.000 in 2004. 90% of this immigrants are on welfare, in your words "leeching german money" no one have a problem with this. Sorry but you are untraveled, uneducated, and israeli-centric. intolerant and ignorant with no idea of the outside world. Immigration is totaly normal , the entire history of mankind was , is and will be immigration. You have only to control it in a proper manner. In front of my home is an Elementary school with 80 different nationalities. and I love to see them together playing in peace unaware of "differences" and "Races" .
30. #14 gregg
yafe nefesh ,   nahariya   (09.10.12)
We already are the majority. This concept of some kind of racial purity is nonesense. It doesn't exist. We are all a complete mix of things. And a good thing too.
