We , Jews , have been thru the sane situation many many times during the last 2000 years . We have the PRIVILEGE to be in a position to help those people .......
3. They are only...
David ,   Netanya   (01.09.14)
They are only Pro-Israel because it is convenient at this moment. But this is still a Jewish state. And they are not Jewish nor will they ever contribute to the Jewish state. Sorry, but we do not owe them anything. Stop using the holocaust as an excuse to bring in thousands of unwanted people.
4. "this show of democratic humanity"

This assembly of worried African sneaks.

6. #2 Some facts for you, Natan
Tahl   (01.09.14)
1. A recent expose by Yediot Ahronot with an undercover reporter posing as an African migrant, totally debunked this theory, and showed how the vast majority of these people are in effect merely work migrants. 2. People are considered "refugees" only after they crossed one border. If indeed they were fleeing persecution, they could have easily settled in Egypt, or other near countries like Ethiopia, Kenya or Uganda. Why would they march over 2000 km in the Sahara to the nearest Western country? 3. Israel has many poor people of its own that need care. It is inconceivable to spend money on the healthcare of these infiltrators, on the expense of Israel's elderly and destitute people. 4. Since the infiltrators came to South Tel Aviv, crime has risen dramatically - rape, violence, robbery, and terrorizing people. South TA has become a slum that ordinary Israelis fear entering. 5. All other Western countries treat infiltrators similarly if not worse. Show me another country that offers them $1000 each upon deportation?
