Israel should help Yezidis settle in Israel and/or in the West.
2. Assyrians/ashurim
Maria ,   Gothenburg   (09.11.14)
Why are you not mentioning the Assyrian people? What is happening to the Yazidis is exactly what is happening to the Assyrians right now, at exactly the same place! That area in Iraq has been the home for the Assyrian people since thousands of years back, called back then Mesopotamia/Assyria. We are the ancient people of northern Iraq. Because we are an minority in the world doesn't mean we are not worth to be mentioned in your articles as well.
3. bring the yazidis to israel straight away
alexi   (09.11.14)
there are 200000 yazidis who would thrive in israel and become excellent and devoted citizens. Israel can and should take them in pronto
4. cannot compare
elpidio veldez ,   bergen, norway   (09.11.14)
Yazidis are in much worse shape than the Assyrians and Chaldians. IS is kicking out of their villages. However, the Yazidis are killed if they happen to be young men, and enslaved if they happen to be women.
5. In the name of humanity,

there should have no hesitation. Nevertheless there should be a protocole of returne after the war.
6. Should have
(09.11.14)
Israel should have rescued the Yazidi. The IAF and IDF forces could have saved those people, but did not. Why? Because at the time, Israel was desperately struggling to protect her own civilians against attack by the Hamas / Obama alliance. It was clear that if Israel tried to save them, Obama would have ordered a carpet bombing of the Yazidi as they would then be allied with Israel against his Hamas allies.

You would beg for the honor of unstopping Adolf Schickelgrubers toilet with your tongue if he was still around.

People don't even know about your people continuous existence. Nobody writes about you. You don't write about yourself. You live in Gothenburg, in Sweden and Swedes don't raise their voice in defense of your people. But look, you read on the Israeli website about Yazidis tragedy and the movement to help these people. The Combat Genocide Association, Blue and White Human Rights, the Jerusalem Center for the Prevention of Genocide, Israel for the Yazidis, and Dror Israel are so many groups in a tiny Israel who will help you to expose and who will guide you in your quest for help.
9. Is Israel the only ME nation that comes to the aid of all in
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (09.11.14)
the path of Islamic terror? Says a lot about Israel's enemies and more for compassionate small Israel. KEEP BUILDING YOU'LL NEED IT.!!!
10. Israel...not perfect...but close!
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (09.11.14)
I concur, help should be offered to those who ask for it....Yazidis, Assyrians, and Lebanese Christians who seek asylum would contribute greatly to Israel's credibility as a "light unto the nations". I don't think they would have a problem paying taxes and joining the IDF! They know the realities and consequences of living in a region with Muslim Islamo Finatic Terrorists!
11. Go join the Peshmerga and fight ISIS like Jews with Hamas
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.11.14)
Kurds extracted ISIS from all their areas in Syria and Iraq. Why can't Yazidis do the same?
