1. As soon as they get here and start receiving benefits.......
Reality ,   Israel   (11.01.12)
the tali comes off and they stop pretending to be Jews. It is so shameful to see how they hang out in their bars every Shabbes (even Yom Kippur), drink, watch TV, play music... These clubs are all over Jerusalem
2. Responce to #1
Israel ,   Israeli   (11.01.12)

3. Ble$ed = your coming Home Sweet Home

I take it you are in the Jewish minority of being absolutely perfect ?? i know as many white Jewish Israelis who claim benefits as i do Ethiopian Israelis thaty do the same, but i also know as many Ethiopian Jews who work just as hard as non Ethiopian Jews do. So i gues as #2 has mentioned a slight taste of racism in your comment which would make you the lowest form of Jew (thats if you are actually Jewish). Remember Am Yisroel Chai for all Jews not just white ones.
6. The Prophecy of diaspora returning to Eretz Yisrael
Naftali ,   Seattle,WA   (11.03.12)
Many more jews from countries we know and countries we don't know much about will continue to return to Israel. If Jews in the Diasopora are coming back to Israel they are going to be significantly different in appearance, the language they speak, foods they eat, the color of their skin, and no matter how secular or religious they are. Some day sooner or later aliyot to Israel by Jews all over the world will intensify so great that it will be out of the hands of individuals and even The Rabbinut who are trying to control and/or stop it from happening, and that it will be in the hands of the Almighty to bring the Children of Israel wherever they are back to Zion. This is only the beginning. The Ethiopian Aliyah is a good example of the Diaspora returning. I call on all Jews around the world wherever they are to consider Eretz Yisrael their home and hope to return.
7. Well put, Naftali. So why are still residing in Seattle?

8. Talkback against negativsm
Kijandi ,   Calgary, Alberta   (11.04.12)
That is a pretty discriminatory, racist and generalistic analysis. This is not the way you welcome a people that needs help and support for its successful integration. Shame on you.
