31. Eli Yishai is a Disgrace to Israel
Jay Abouaf ,   jaffa Israel   (10.18.12)
And his teachers
32. Hey Mordechai (and others) !
Angry Non Jew ,   Israel   (10.18.12)
I am a non Jew, living in Israel (not born here). I came to live here because my husband is Israeli and Jewish, meaning as well that according to your religious laws our children aren't Jewish but hey, who cares? They're enough Jewish for me and most of all they're Israelis. Are you going to bare them from dating Jewish girls? Everyone is entitled to live his life as he intends to. You have no rights to tell me and my husband who we should be involved with and how to rule our lives. The fact that Israel recognizes legitimacy to couples like our and grants us (me) a permit to work and live here just shows how the State has no intention and has no consideration for people of your ilk. And this includes having the right to access to health care as well as. It's time you wake up Mordechai and realize the truth ! Israel will never be the Jewish State you want it to be !!!
33. I am no longer shocked...
Bertram ,   London, UK   (10.18.12)
...to read the vile, racist, ignorant drivel of many of these talkbacks. Sad, yes, but shocked, no. I guess this is Israel becoming 'normalised', a nation with no pretensions to being a light unto others. Israel was supposed to be about Jewish survival - but survival as what? As a bunch of inward-looking, ethnocentric bigots, mired in either rampant consumerism or narrow-minded fundamentalist religion? I still refuse to believe that is the case but it is becoming increasingly hard to resist that view. (Just for the record, No.4 could not be published in the UK because it would be breaking the law).
34. US immigration laws much harsher
Alex ,   Albany, NY   (10.18.12)
Try showing up at JFK with no passport, no money and no profession. Tell them you want to live the American dream.
35. Good news ! They are not above the law !
(10.18.12)
36. they are ILLEGAL ALIENS they have to go !
(10.18.12)
37. #4..i would not
JL   (10.18.12)
let you drink out of my toilet if you were dying of thirst
38. # 14 No true
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (10.18.12)
Israel paid $80,000.00 per Ethiopian Jew to escape Ethiopia and to live in Israel. ( some years ago) There are black Jews who Israel has helped. Too bad this little boy isn't one of them. Your bigotry is misplaced, it's the Sudanese government who's responsible for the terror to it's own people.
39. Send him back
David ,   NY   (10.18.12)
I am witnessing first hand what liberal policies are doing to the United States. Sure, there are going to be some bad stories but all illegals must be deported immediately
40. Exceptions should be possible.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (10.18.12)
41. 32 Angry You married a Jew..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (10.18.12)
The least you can do is showing some respect for your husband s folk. At least if you want to build a family that lives in harmony. It is up to you.
42. RULES & laws
RAUL ,   Boise, Idaho   (10.18.12)
Of course it's sad. You can write any human interest story to appeal to emotions. Fact: mother came illegally. Sorry she did this to her kid. Using a child to excuse your illegal activity is the oldest trick in the book. She had a nice ride. The way to "give back" to Israel is to go back home - sorry your home sucks and that ISRAEL is the only country that gave you 5+ years of a sweet life. You can't break the law and then cry for compassion (like the defendant in trial for killing his parents who pleads to the court for compassion on the grounds that he's an orphan).
43. #29 "Those stories rarely resemble the truth"
Robert ,   Australia   (10.18.12)
The truth would not change your attitude. You have taken three paragraphs to echo poster No.4 who expressed his in one sentence.
44. #9: Yes, that's what Goebbels said about Jews!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.18.12)
Do we punish children for the crimes of their parents? Do Jews deport children? Do we send people to "camps" in the Negev because of the color of their skin? Honestly, I don't have the answer for the "illegals" problem but I would rather keep these people here and throw out the bloody Palestinians! The "illegals" are here because the Governments of Israel, past and present, failed to control our borders. Even know they dillydally about deporting even those who have just arrived. Additionally, many of these "illegals" came here on valid work permits and overstayed their welcome. They want to work and not leech of the land like some others whose skins are white by wear black coats. Sometimes I really wonder what would happen if these "illegals" had white skins and blond hair?
45. #41 - Ora, you talk about respect
(10.18.12)
Then start by respecting the fact that non Jews live in Israel and treat them as any other person with no segregation or discrimination. I am sure that if the State of Israel can then so can you. I'll start to show some respect when you and your "folks" will respect me and treat me decently !
46. 45 I know personally a ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (10.18.12)
non-Jewish chirurg who works in Israel,very respected and happy here. I myself had a non-Jewish best friend. I don t divide people in ethnic groups but in good and bad people. People respect those who respect them. Show love and you will receive more love from your husband,children,neighbours and citizens.That is the way it goes.
47. Give them a years some money to get them on their feet...
David ,   Hartford USA   (10.18.12)
and send them home. It should be enough to give them a new start in life. What's a year's Sudanese salary? A thousand shekels? Do the right thing. Maybe they were trying to escape Islam....
48. Sudan
Danny ,   London England   (10.18.12)
The real issue is whether Sudan is safe for a mother and child without a man to protect them. The Sudanese were sent back on the basis that it was now safe. Is it or isn't it? Here in the UK a woman born here was deported because her mother had overstayed her student visa about thirty years ago. On the other hand an Italian teen who murdered someone here in London could not be deported back to Italy because the European Court ruled he did not speak Italian and had grown up in London.
49. WTF?
Alex   (10.18.12)
Are you talking about? This article is not about a Jew, but about a non-Jewish illegal immigrant from Sudan who btw receives more benefits than Israelis living under existence minimum. We don't need a European segregated and chaotic society.
50. unconscionable
john ,   toronto   (10.18.12)
That a boy and his mother would be denied to be refugees in Israel .If the community support is there, then deportation of a sick mother and her child should not be done. Half the time will be spend being refugees and not living.
51. aliens
john ,   toronto   (10.18.12)
They do not look like aliens, they are very much humans. Whatever the reason give them respect. If circumstances were reversed, then you would be looking for mercy.
52. good lesson
john ,   toronto   (10.18.12)
Should only Jews respect Jews, that is not the lesson any Book should teach. I have more friends outside my religion than in it.
53. #14
Alex   (10.18.12)
And btw there's no such thing as arab Jews, (unless it's an Arab who converted...)
54. #32
Alex   (10.18.12)
With your hate and disrespect to our culture, maybe you should be deported. I lived in Europe and I know how a society is destroyed from within when loads of immigrants who lack respect to the culture and society are let in. Go to Europe if that's they way you feel!
55. Obey the Law
Eli ,   Israel   (10.18.12)
Send all the Africans back, Israel must remain Jewish or we are doomed.
56. #53 Alex of course there are Arab Jews
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (10.18.12)
Arab is an ethnicity and Jewish a religion !!! Both aren't incompatible ! I see many Arab jews here in Israel
57. stupid wrong decision. reverse it. crazy decision.
ralph   (10.18.12)
58. somebody adopt him and the family.
ralph   (10.18.12)
59. To all self-righteous bleeding-heart pontificators here
Tahl   (10.18.12)
Indeed this is a sad story, but Israel cannot afford to be the shelter of every African child in need. If Moses stays here, then why not another 10,000,000 African children in the same situation? I suggest to all the self-righteous bleeding-heart pontificators here who so joyfully trash the state of Israel and Minister Yishai - why don't you put your money where your mouth is, and adopt an African refugee yourself? Make him part of your family, so that he would not have to go back to the horrors of his native country? But of course you wouldn't do that. Much easier to put the tab on the Israeli taxpayers, especially to those of you commenting from abroad.
60. After Tuesday's announcement
Ivor EVenbiggergun   (10.18.12)
that Jews in Israel are now the minority, I can see this becoming a normalised situation. I presume there will shortly be a cull in Gaza to reduce the numbers
