Charlie ,   Indiana   (01.26.14)
Now thats a solution!
3. Here's a news flash
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.26.14)
The gate is not open. These migrants arrived illegally. They have no basis to claim refugee status, because they crossed two borders. Instead of criticizing Israel, perhaps the United Nations ought to convene some sort of tribunal to study the claims made by these illegal migrants regarding what is going on in Sudan and Eritrea that cause these people to flee. These people are less than grateful, and the behaviors in which they engage do not encourage sympathy for them. They picket aggressively, they stop traffic on busy workdays, and -- let's face it -- most of them do not work, but are not in the least bit shy about taxing Israel's social services to the point of breaking. An unfortunate number of them are alcoholics and drug addicts; quite a few are criminals. I'm sorry that their native countries are in shambles, but that doesn't mean that I have to let them turn my country into a raging mess. Which they are doing; at lightning speed. Why don't they fix the problems at home instead of complaining all the time? Their efforts may not bear fruit in their lifetime (although they may), but they would be sowing the seeds for a better future for their children. Surely that is reason enough to care. Or is it only about "me, me, me" all the time, and how can I steal a better mobile phone?
4. go to sudan AND CHANGE THE CONDITIONS
...DACON9   (01.26.14)

tesfay ,   eritrea   (01.26.14)
in this 21st century to put people in jail with out crime is a crime by it self,it is not only hurt to the black colored people,also to the white people,this is shame full action
7. repeating history
eritrean refugee isr ,   israel tv   (01.26.14)
As I have started to ovserve on the early of my arrival and read the past history of jowish people. It is almost similar to what they are doing us. God please remind the jowish people not to forget thier promisses of thier grand parents.
8. They are not really asylum seekers
Rachel ,   Europe   (01.26.14)
they are money seekers.
9. #7 - read a history book - Israel isn't committing genocide
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (01.26.14)
You have got a lot of nerve sneaking into our country & comparing your situation to the genocide the Nazis committed against the Jews. First of no one is being murdered. You entered Israel illegally without permission. The Jews who were sent to death camps lived in Europe for centuries. If you truly are a refugee, you should have asked for asylum in Egypt. But they don't have a lot of good paying jobs there - do they? We are a country of laws and you broke the law when you came here illegally. Now you must face the consequences.
10. #6 and Other Asylum Seekers
EGGM ,   Petah Tikva, Israel   (01.26.14)
What a couple of the talkbackers, and indeed this article (Ynet) is missing is that crossing the border illegally is in itself a crime. It's a crime in every country in the world, not just Israel. It is perfectly reasonable to treat illegal immigrants as criminals.
11. They broke the law when they entered the country illegally
Avnet ,   Tel Aviv   (01.26.14)
They are economic migrants, who broke when they entered a country illegally. Now they are being used by left-wing NGOs to demonise Israel, who have apparently taken to employing staff to write talkbacks under this article.
12. keep a bunch of your lie to yourself
Anti-racist jews   (01.26.14)
how annoying are the Racist Jews.how dear you try to convince your pubic with a bunch of conspiracy theory that you designed it to humiliate a Black people. If you have a problem to a black African people, You should to express them publicly without fear to the world.There is no question white Jews hate blacks.But I am sick of your lie that try to pretend you are humanitarian and respect the human right.But the truth is you are not. there are more than double white illegal migrant form east Europe, but you Jews have never rise any concern about them . So your problem is not about illegal migration,that is Racism. I'm African and an Eritrea refugee my self but I never and will never sick Asylum in Israel or same where in the west. I'm in South Africa and like to appeal my problem to follow Africans, not to the selfish white trash Jews or other west nations.
13. stengers in a strangeland
moshe ,   westchester   (01.26.14)
All of you! Read this weeks (and last weeks) parshaot - God must be weeping at your inhumanity.
14. #12 Good
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (01.26.14)
Stay out of Israel. Tell your brethren to do the same. It's an extraordinary country - but it doesn't need more economic migrants, of ANY race.
15. Migrants
Haifen ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.26.14)
One has to be blind and deaf not to know of the inhuman suffering inSudan. Israelis should be happy to have a chance to help these, some of the world's most destitute. Whether they stay a long time or not, we must follow Abraham's example and welcome them with humanity and hospitality. Those who don't want thebrefugees are lttle, weak people who lack a real education. Israelis, of all people must do our utmost to help them. I don't mean blank checks, There are many israelis who think like me. If we do nothing, the next pogrom wont see any righteous gentiles to help us.
