1. They should not have come to Israel in the first place!

2. Something missing - immigrants usually speak their parents
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NYC   (06.08.14)
Somehow them speaking only Hebrew seems strange, what did they speak with their parents? Children of immigrants usually speak the language of their home country at home as that is what their parents know. So how is it that they mostly speak Hebrew?
3. Sorry for the Christian kids but they should go back
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.08.14)
to their country of South Sudan to help rebuild it from the hundreds of years of devastation by the Islamic occupation.
4. Gudovitch is a Humanitarian Hero.
Zechariah   (06.09.14)
I admire this Policy as do many Humanitarians of all Nations .Most of the Africans who escaped to Israel ought be given Jobs or their Own settlements to prove Israel looks after at least some refugees.Best case is integration into Israeli shock troops against their Arab oppressors nursing and medicine and agricultural specialists or any Job they can survive on equal to Jewish Wages .The Galus ought assist also as many in the Gallus are indulgently rich with Mansions Pleasure Boats and Expensive Cars and Holidays..
5. It's a grim existence for all Africans
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (06.08.14)
Does that mean we should take them all in? The migrants here have earned enough to last them 2 liftetimes in Africa. Israel is not the asylum for African migrants.
6. Illegals

Israel did not invite them. They entered illegally and have no right to stay in Israel or make any demands. Israel should not follow America's example of uncontrolled borders and illegal aliens (they are not "undocumented workers or immigrants").

Israel does more than it's share to help others in distress. It is usually among the first to help other countries who suffer tragic events. Israel is not obligated to take in the world's poor when it has it's own who need help. Please stop with this lefty "goody two shoes" garbage. Charity begins at home and Israel has many citizens who are desperate for assistance.
8. The 'light among the nations"
EM ,   Ra'anana   (06.09.14)
It a sorry mark on our collective conscience...with more than a fair share of hypocracy. I wonder how many of the TB's who support throwing out the refugees condemn the closed doors shown to the Jews who were trying to escape the Nazi's in WWII. Those poor children who were lucky enough to get here could have been proud examples of Jewish compassion - now they just prove that we are no better than the rest.
9. to the author
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (06.09.14)
Israel has a tradition of taking in JEWISH refugees. Sometimes we can take in small numbers of non-Jewish refugees as we did with the Vietnamese boat people. We cannot absorb tens of thousands of foreigners. Furthermore, we never hear about other groups of foreigners commiting crimes the way the Africans have. If we keep these people here in the next generation we will see their disaffected children rioting in the streets of Tel Aviv the way they have in Europe.
10. #8 EM in ranana
miri ,   israel   (06.09.14)
You equate the Sudanese migrants situation with the jews in WWII. We need not search our souls and allow our little country to be overrun by illegal migrants.
