1. I do not like it, but I do not blame NZ.

Their country - their right. Israel must do the same regarding all illegals. US must do the same regarding all illegals too.
2. The same treatment some foreigners get at Ben Gurion

5. Work on cruise ships
USA   (11.13.13)
Almost all workers on cruise ships are foreigners.Israeli kids fresh out of the IDF should try that too. It's not to be considered a permanent job, and does open up doors, provide opportunity to network, and add to life experiences. BTW my Israeli friend was refused a US tourist visa earlier this year because she was unemployed at that time (now employed), even though she is from a well-to-do family and did not plan on working here in the US.
6. Many countries carry these requirements.
mea   (11.13.13)
Although there is little doubt NZ negatively focuses on Israel since the spying incident a few years ago, the requirements to have enough money to cover a stay, an itinerary (I am always asked about my itinerary at BG) and a RT ticket are typical entry requirements in many countries, including Canada, the US and China. In fact, to enter China you actually have to mail them your passport so they can spend some time with it before returning it with a visa glued inside. However, Israelis and Jews especially are very respected and even adored and welcomed in China. In a bad economy, it isn't a bad thing that a country take notice of illegals taking pay from locals. Try reviewing the lynch mob comments sections under Ynet articles about illegals in Israel.
7. New Zealand is a good place to avoid. My niece went there
Rivkah   (11.13.13)
and worked with a work permit at the Sports College in Wellington, tasked with pulling it out of the red (possible bankruptcy). She successfully transformed their finances with her Univ. of California Fullerton business degree in finance. After the Sports College was out of the red, Andrea Bill was told her work permit was not being renewed and she had to leave her job. That is how New Zealander say, Thank you. They kick you out and say, Scram. Andrea Bill had a New Zealander fiance who punched her in the face. She gave him four months to apologize and he refused to so she broke off the engagement. My advice to to stay away from New Zealand and Australia. Andrea's Aussie fiance Jason Whitehead before the Zew Zealander engagement was also a vile person who abandoned her for a former girlfriend. Aussies and New Zealanders are vile and should be kept away from American daughters. If your daughter brings one home, kick him out and lock the door and call the police. That is preferable to a daughter suffering the violence of such primitive people who are mostly descended from English criminals banished to Australia and New Zealand.
8. New Zealand's ugly Anti Semitic face...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A /Israel   (11.13.13)
This practice of selecting Israelis is not a new practice by Anti Semitics...It reminds me of how Jews were selected in the 1940s... Shame on you New Zealand...
9. Sarah @8, you do not know if Jews are being singled out.
leo ,   usa   (11.13.13)
Article does not say so.
10. So much bullshit in one amateur article. Info inside:
Rotem ,   Israel   (11.13.13)
There's nothing is wrong with NZ in this case. This author tries to make Drama in the wrong issue and obviously know nothing about NZ. Each tourist who come to NZ is being questioned, about your intention in your visit, how are you going to pay for your stay, how much money you have (the limitation is 10,000 NZ$),They also ask if you have any organic food and if you been in farms recently , as they try to minimize as much as possible germs from other countries, which may cause an irreversible damage to it's delicate ecology. People who work illegally in any country other country are usually banned for good and not for only 5 years. Farmers in NZ usually need working hands so you can have a legal Working visa or "Working Holiday Visa" (if you are under 26) for any agriculture jobs jobs outside the major cities: Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. Therefore, if someone is stupid enough to work illegally, in a state where he can work legally, that's their problem! The people who's been deported had probably had some goods in a commercial amount. I think it's time for the Israel police to put more effor to STOP those illegal work-companies abroad, as they only make damage to the diplomatic relations with other countries and also violates the working law (too many hours, small fees only for sales or no minimum wage etc) which considered as a crime, in the Israeli law. So why work for criminals, when you can have a decent and legal temporary jobs? Ka kite Ano

You are the vile person for writing absolute nonsense.How dare you call Australians primitive people.You, a "Christian" should be banned from this site.

Shame on you Sarah for your insinuated comparison to the Nazis.Read post 10.
14. deports Israelis in NZ
jacques ,   nsw   (11.14.13)
I had to laugh when I read this article. On the contrary, Kiwis come in droves to Australia for a greener pasture. In the end the Australian government had to stop all the welfare hand outs, most were bludging on taxpayers' money.
15. Well Done Kiwis
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (11.14.13)
Kudos to our NZ cousins! Don't let the door hit you on your way back to BG!!
16. Deported Israelis
Jack ,   Auckland   (11.15.13)
I cannot believe what I read in comment 8. What a fool to write such rubbish. I suppose americans are all just WONDERFUL. There are no bad americans in the world. Please do NZ, OZ, Israel and the entire world a favour and stay in hickville - don't ever leave. You might be corrupted by the evil-non-americans.
17. 12 John Darren: An Aussie widow who married an American
Rivkah   (11.15.13)
said her life was so easy compared to her marriage to an Aussie because the American husband didn't spend his free time at a pub with his pals but helped out around the house and yard. Australian males are brutes and they are primitive in that way, not wanting to do even the most basic acts of housework or yard work if that means cutting into their pub time with their pals.

Johnathan ,   cairns-Austraalia   (11.16.13)
You take the cake for the most foolish post ever.Why do you post on a Jewish site.Don't they like you on a "Christian" site?Is that why?
19. Hey Rivkah....
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (11.17.13)
