1. another of Lapids budget cutting mistakes
zionist forever   (05.12.13)
If Haaretz is correct then the ministry of finance has halted construction of the planned detention centre in the Negev which was designed to hold thousands of these people until they could be deported. . According to an article in Haaretz last week the finance ministry feels there is no need for the place and so we could save 300 million shekels and cancel the project even though 50 million shekels has already been invested in it. If this is part of Lpids budget then the residents of Tel Aviv have good reason to protest.
2. Amazing, just amazing
Ricky ,   The Bronx   (05.12.13)
Its amazing how the atmosphere of hatred, racial hatred, social intolerance towards AFRICANS is created and fomented by these CRACKERS(no pun) when most of the resources that were used in the creation of the state Israel right down to the uranium to make Israel a nuclear weapon superpower came from AFRICA. The diamonds(blood diamonds) and gold that these CRACKERS(no pun) covet and trade on world markets that has resulted in the deaths of millions, children in all. Instead of teaching these AFRICANS a trade so they can be gainfully employed, integrated in Israeli society and take pride in themselves "in Israel",,, you seem to have the same problem with the black Ethiopian "AFRICAN" Jews,,,, instead all we are given are dosages of monthly Israeli media propaganda in Tel Aviv a modern city that only spurs hatred and intolerance of one ethnic group amongst the hundreds of ethnic groups in this mixed land of Jews, Arabs, Xtians, Muslims, Atheist, light skinned, yellow, tanned, brown people and Bohemians evangicals mostly white people,,,,,,,, and yes AFRICANS. Amazing just amazing.

to convert to Judaism and build villages in Judea and Shomron. So he'll go berserk and jail them all.
4. Residents face it: you're powerless.Just go to the Rabin Sq.

and burn down the bloody City Hall. If that doesn't do the trick- burn down the Knesset. That's how you get things done in this real world if you don't have money&power. Another musical quotation: "In the old days When a young man was a strong man All the people stepped back When a young man walked by You know nowadays Well it's the old man that's Got all the money And a young man Ain't got nothin' in the world these days" Substitute (don't get me started on that one:-) "young" with "resident of South Tel Aviv" and "old man" with "leftist media" and you've got a new hit!
5. The south Tel-Aviv residents are 100%
Reuven   (05.12.13)
right. Deport these Muslim illegals quickly and also finish building that much-needed Negev detention center.
6. TA RESIDENTS = UGLY BIGOTS AND RACISTS

7. It sounds like Ricky from the bronx
Aharon ,   Tel aviv israel   (05.12.13)
Is volunteering to take some of these african migrants in to his apartment in the bronx and help them get their life back on track. You are a bigger person than me, Ricky! how many people are you able to help integrate into society? Two three? If you cant help directly, then i'm sure you can at least help pay for their medical bills, and help support them for the next few years??
8. Muslim infiltrators
Tzimmes ,   Tel Aviv   (05.12.13)
70,000 Muslims chose to illegally enter the hated Zionist entity rather than one of 56 Islamic states. We did not invite them and do not want them.!
9. 70,000 Illegals
Ron ,   oc us   (05.12.13)
It just gets better and better. Israeli courts will not protect Jews or Israel's borders. I once heard that Israel is a country thar does not think much of itself. Said during the bus bombings of the early 2000's and the tepid response until hundreds of Israelis were killed. I am beginning to agree with that statement.
10. #1 reality
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.12.13)
Lapid realizes that Weinstein and the courts will never enforce the law on non-Jews, so why waste the money on a detention center that will not be used? #3 from France has come up with the only rational solution to the problem.
11. #2 Hah...
(05.12.13)
Blood diamonds? If you didn't know, Israel was the first country to ban the trade of blood diamonds... Israel needs to take care of it's own citizens, not whole Africa, we have starving elderly and families living under the poverty line, but no, we're supposed to take in more illegal immigrants making our own people poorer and providing for every fucking body. If you're so concerned, why don't the US send more money to Africa, huh?! Israel is a tiny country under existential threat, we don't have time for this bullshit.

Your comment shows a top level hypocrisy, let see you give up your home the the Natives in the USA that your ancestors killed and drove to the Reservations, then let's talk about tolerance and "cracker" like you bozo... Those that lived in a glass house beware of stone throwers.
16. Ricky's Rants from the Bronx
Robert Haymond ,   Teko'a, Israel   (05.12.13)
Interesting how the internet allows uninformed and ignorant people like Ricky from the Bronx to tell us what we must do in Israel, what we are lacking, how we are behaving and how we can improve ourselves, especially for someone who not only has never even visited here, has no interest in Israel and has probably never left the Bronx. Ricky's one of the examples of how the internet has failed us all.

actually, most of these migrant workers do not work anywhere in israel. THEY COMMIT CRIMES ALL OVER TEL AVIV AND THEY HANG AROUND THET RAIN AND BUIS STATIONS. THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNEMPLOYED BUT RECEIVE FREE MEDICAL CARE, FREE LODGING AND FREE FOOD FROM THE GOVERNMENT. some are held in an inside facility until they can be deported. they have more freedom and security in israel than in any arab muslim land from which they ran from and into which they refuse to go like egypt, etc... they run to israel. you know why, don 't you?

Manhattan and Bronx was bought and paid for in legal transaction with goods the Indians needed ,... I'm tired of you folks trying to equate what you're doing today in Palestine to what the American colonists did a few hundred years ago in America where the concept of landownership was unknown among Indians. So to make it clear you pinheads you can't steal land from someone who doesn't claim it.
21. 19 - most of these migrant workers do not work
split ,   US   (05.12.13)
Like I have said given a chance they do work unlike your homies in Mea Shearim and that's why you call them a migrant workers not a parasitic vermins. Don't take me wrong I'm not for illegal immigrants as long as their influx affects me but when it comes to Israel I'm on the other side of the fence because a lion share of Israelis are strays too ,...
22. You don't need detention facility - After release, what?
Tracy   (05.12.13)
Those who advocate a detention facility don't realize that this will help keep present and future infiltrators IN Israel, because there is no policy on what to do with these people after they are released. Only viable solutions are - to protect the border so there are no more infiltrators coming in, no matter how many wars and famines afflict Africa in the future. Once they reach Egypt, they must stay there. - Hand over genuine refugees to UNHCR to be cared for at UN refugee camps IN AFRICA. - Assist the rest to go back home or to Egypt.. But before any of this is done, Israelis need to mobilize and repeatedly demonstrate until the government gets the message.

So tell me Stude, if your black and violent and break laws and someone points it out how does telling the truth make one racist? If you favor one color (black) over another then how can you call others racist? If blacks get a free pass then why not Asians, whites or any other group?
24. Ricky from the Bronx #2 and #7
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.12.13)
The problem in Tel Aviv is that one ethnic group is causing a majority of the problems. Why should Israel put up with that? Israel doesn't owe these illegals anything. They should respectfully deport them. These people come from African countries run by African people. If they were doing their job people wouldn't be leaving for non African countries. Don't they care enough to try and improve their own countries?
25. Refugees, not infiltrators
(05.12.13)
These so called "infiltrators" are people who fled their own countries because their lives where in danger and to send them back to their home countries would mean certain death, and most likely torture, for many. Israel signed the 1951 refugee convention, meaning that Israel is obligated to provide a safe haven for such people but unfortunately, the government is ignoring their responsibility to both these individuals as well as their own citizens. The government has made it illegal for them to work, thereby preventing refugees from providing food and shelter for themselves. The current situation is a result of this dire situation. The government solution should not be to round them all up and shove them into prison. The government needs to recognize their presence in the country until it is safe for them to return to their own. Until then, the government should allow them the opportunity to be self-sustainable. Even something as simple as not fining business who provide refugees with work.
