1. Arnon Sofer's work is fraudulent
Jay Abouaf ,   Jaffa Israel   (03.05.13)
Mr. Sofer's previous work was used to justify the Expulsion of Jews from Gaza. His work is fraudulent and wrong. Mr. Yishai should be arrested for crimes against humanity.
2. Why now? He was so quite about it during elections
DW ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.05.13)
And same goes for all the parties and government. Sounds like another false attempt of Shas to get attention.
3. Who needs Jews like these?
Mark ,   Cleveland USA   (03.05.13)
The Holocaust and Arab Israeli Wars have wiped out any sense of empathy and compassion for non-Jews in far too many modern Jews. If we are incapable of kindness to refugees than we are no longer 'Jews' worthy of the title.
4. Weighty Issue
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (03.05.13)
"To save one life is to save the world entire" so says the Talmud and I believe it. As Jews we have contributed much to the world to save lives. However we are a Jewish State that while we can give temporary succor to refugees who face persecution or death in their native land, we cannot offer permanent residence. Rather than housing them in TA perhaps we need to build TEMPORARY housing in the southern desert.
5. Good!
Alex   (03.05.13)
Deport most of the illegal immigrants, let only those who'll face certain incarceration/death by returning to their native countries stay in Israel.
6. Wow!!
(03.05.13)
2000 have left out of 70,000! I think that the percentage of Jews leaving is greater. These people risk their lives to live here when Jews who can easily come here, don't. That's the real tragedy. How long will we stay a Jewish state, if most of the Jewish People refuse to live here?
7. ONCE AGAIN YISHAI'S RACISM AND BIGOTRY ARE IN OVERDRIVE
stude ham   (03.05.13)
why did bibi stick this racist bigot into the cabinet? it's frightening to see israel's future with these guys on the choke hold.
8. This is getting ridiculous
Woody ,   Tel Aviv, ISRAEL   (03.05.13)
I know it's difficult for people who haven't much experience outside of Israel, but you do realize that our MOI is insane, right? These academics come up with fake conclusions based on nothing other than "if we don't, then Zionism will die". Never mind that they might not believe in the same Zionism as you (theirs is a paranoid delusion where Israel barely exists and teeters on extinction almost always). There is a boycott on Israel and now we have fake academics peddlng partisan truths. What more could the Jewish people have asked for!
9. Sha's made their Mellah now working for an Israeli Ghetto
miki ,   tampa   (03.05.13)
Then accuse the world of Anti-Semitism
10. I didn't make Aliyah for no reason..
Yoch ,   Y'layim, IL   (03.05.13)
Several reasons that is, one of them b/c I wanna live in a JEWISH country, bringing/letting goyim in on a daily basis (also through the Law or Return) exceeding JEWISH aliyah. It's really sad. DEPORT ILLEGALS and after that work on the Foreign workers PLEASE.
11. British Mandate tried to deport refugees during Aliyah Bet
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.05.13)
12. ishai HATES children and refugees, is he a Rabbi ??
Big Mouth ,   On the face   (03.05.13)
13. shameful
Brian ,   Tel Aviv   (03.05.13)
we decry those countries that refused entry to jewish refugees before and during the Shoah, yet Israel is more than happy to force refugees back to sudan and eritrea. these people need help. they make up less than 1% of Israel's population and are in no way a security threat. they aren't here seeking monetary gains, they fled their homes and loved ones out of fear for their lives; they suffered at the hands of terrorists crossing the Sinai; and now the "esteemed" (sarcasm) interior minister Yishai and his "expert" committee want to send these refugees back where they will likely be tortured and killed. Israel should be ashamed for locking them up in detention centers and denying them refugee status. Israelis and Jews around the world should cringe at the report of sending these people back to the hell that they escaped from.
14. Finally a normal decision,
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (03.05.13)
among many illogical and self destructing ones.
15. Right!
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.05.13)
'Israel must shut itself in walls to survive' Right - back to the ghetto and the shtetl.
16. "Refugees"
Ilya ,   TX, USA   (03.05.13)
How many of these people are actual refugees vs economic migrants. Yes maybe those from Sudan who are escaping the Arab Militias are and they're the christians ones, but what about the muslims from Eritrea who are in Israel, they're not refugees, they're just looking for work, much like the mexicans who come to the US. So why shouldn't they be deported much like the Mexicans in the US? All you liberal Jews say they're not a demographic threat, just like the Arabs weren't a demographic threat in 1948. Well are they a demographic threat now???
17. Deport this pest already!
Phoenix ,   Israel   (03.05.13)
Enough is enough of this bunch of invaders and criminals from the third world. Deport all of them, and make beautiful and safe our streets again.
18. Deport haredim !
Yossef   (03.05.13)
19. #10 Refugee problem not about you!
Mark ,   Cleveland USA   (03.05.13)
People need a safe place to live away from the violence in their country. Your preferences are of little importance in the matter. And by the way, your a racist. I hope you keep that attitude away from your children.
20. These are excellent decisions.
Reuven   (03.05.13)
There is only one Jewish styate. Let's not lose it.
21. UN
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (03.05.13)
Send the illegal immigrants to those countries where the protests come from.
22. Israel singled out .
Harvey ,   London   (03.05.13)
The UK and Europe have a similar policy regarding illegal immigrants . The French are happy to turn a blind eye as their illegals reach Sangatte a holding area and nightly hide in lorries destined for Britain . Some get through most don't and try again the next night . The French are only too pleased to dump their problem on Britain . The US has a fence to keep out Mexicans crossing the border illegally . The poor wretched souls who cross Arab countries do so because they know Israel is a safe haven for them . No surprises there as Israel is a first world country with one of the finest health systems in the world . On the way to Israel they are routinely murdered raped and robbed while the Egyptians turn a blind eye . Israel cleans them up but cannot be the dumping ground for the worlds unfortunates .
23. 19 As an israeli,10s preferences have much more importance
Dan ,   israel   (03.05.13)
than yours. of course, with all do respect.
24. The way that Arab countries
Rube Vogel ,   Jerusalem   (03.05.13)
treat their own citizens, the tiny few Kilometers that is Israel would be overrun with refugees in a second if our gates were open.
25. The EU lets them drown in the Mediterranean Sea
Yael Schlichting ,   currently Munich   (03.05.13)
26. #7
Alex   (03.05.13)
"why did bibi stick this racist bigot into the cabinet? it's frightening to see israel's future with these guys on the choke hold." -Yeah, I bet your biggest dream is to see Israel as majority non-Jewish. Considering Jewish persucution for over 2000 years + it still happening in large parts of the world it's vital for Jews to have a state where they can live freely. In a multiculti world it's extra vital for Israel to secure its borders and demographics. Other people don't have the concern Jews have because they don't need to.
27. IF THEY'RE BLACK , SEND 'EM BACK.
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.05.13)
28. Mark # 10
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.05.13)
If a nation does not keep its borders secure then none of it's citizens are safe. Who are you to tell an Israeli what importance his preferences are? How arrogant you are. Your attitude is why so many people around the world hate Americans.
29. SEND 'EM BACK
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.05.13)
30. HELL NO THEY MUST GO
