1. Post Shoah Post Genocide Paper 1939
Zechariah   (03.30.15)
Post Shoah and Post the Islamic -British Genocide Policies as regards Jewish escape from Nazi Occupied Europe - ITS A DISGRACE and STAIN not to offer decent sanctuary to refugees in danger of Genocide Mass Murder and Mass Torture .Israel has to be a Safe Haven for some of the deprived people's .
2. Economic Migrants
Tia ,   Efrat   (03.30.15)
These aren't refugees. They're economic migrants, many of whom freely admit when interviewed that they have made up a story just to get into Israel. At least a dozen of them have been caught joining the Islamist Movement and many of them have begun to demonstrate with Um Al-Fahm Arabs, demanding destruction of the very state that they have sought asylum in. Throw them out, and their families with them.
3. Unusual death rate here?
bob k ,   orlando fl usa   (03.31.15)
This is a very tragic circumstance but the report does not consider the unusual death rate here. Why? 5 young children die in 6 weeks but long-term 8 died in 4 years. Sounds like something unusual was happening in the past month and a half. Was there a contagious disease going around? Is there something that the daycare centers where children died had in common? 8 in 4 years sounds high but how many children total were involved and how unusual is that rate of death?. Lots of people will blame the 'system' the municipality and maybe that is appropriate but the circumstances and causes of these last 5 deaths need to be investigated and made public.
4. they are not migrants
ilan.s   (03.31.15)

A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.31.15)
I don't agree with your statement, but whether you or I am correct is not important in this instance. As Shlomo Krol (fb) stated: "The core problem is the general refusal of the state of Israel to fulfill its obligations...They have to work to sustain themselves and leave their babies in these children warehouses...These babies are **killed by us**, we are responble for their death, including you now reading these words."
6. Tia, would you mind providing us your sources
Non jewish immigrant ,   haifa   (03.31.15)
if you don't provide sources to your facts then I don't see why I should trust what you say. It's enough to open an internet page like Wikipedia to know that Sudan and Errytrea arent really paradise on earth right now.
7. So ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.31.15)
... pack them up and send them to the United Nations refugee camps in Africa. These people are NOT refugees, because all of them have crossed more than one border. I do not mean to sound cruel, but that's just fact. These people are NOT the responsibility of the State of Israel. They are the responsibility of the United Nations, that is FAR too busy spending time worrying about "palestinians" to care about anyone else. Is it not time that the United Nations were held to account? There are sick and aged Jews in the State of Israel who have to choose between purchasing their medication or eating. Why? Because these illegal economic migrants have drained Israeli resources to a point beyond recognition. I am truly sorry -- and no, I am not a racist -- but isn't Israel's obligation first and foremost to citizens of Israel? Especially the aged and infirm -- sorry, but I am not willing to trade the well-being of an aged Jewish concentration camp survivor or Jewish person who was forcibly expelled from their home in an Arab or Moslem land in favor of the baby of an illegal migrant. That's not racism. That's just triage. Israel is the Jewish State, and the Jewish people are our chief concern. Illegal immigrants who claim to be "refugees" are the province of the United Nations. Not the State of Israel. We have done enough for them -- MORE than enough. At the expense of elderly Jewish citizens of the State of Israel. I'm sorry, but that is just not acceptable. It is time for the United Nations to step up and admit that there are people who depend on them who DO NOT happen to be "palestinian." Jews first. Sorry, but we're the only Jewish state in the world. Everyone else has lots of options. The Jewish people do not, thus it falls to the State of Israel to take care of our own. Illegal African migrants to Israel are NOT the responsibility of the State of Israel. They are not refugees. They are, however, the responsibility of the United Nations. It is time for the United Nations to turn their gaze away from four generations of so-called "palestinian" refugees -- voluntary quits is what they were, four generations ago -- and assume responsibility for people who are NOT "palestinian" -- you know; the ones they have ignored all over the planet for far too long. But where's the fun in doing that? If you cannot fault Israel for some reason -- whether true or not; whether real or imagined -- why on earth would the United Nations bother? The "palestinians" have been the beneficiaries of TRILLIONS of dollars in aid. With nothing to show for it. Why the United Nations chooses to ignore the plight of others is sufficiently close to a war crime and a crime against humanity as to warrant close investigation. As if. But in the meantime, the self-imposed plight of illegal African migrants are not Israel's problem. And if I have to choose between aiding an elderly woman who was forced to leave Algeria with nothing save the clothes on her back or worrying about an anchor baby dropped by an illegal migrant from the Sudan -- well, sorry, folks, but I go with the elderly Jewish woman from Algeria. The State of Israel should -- and has, and rightly so -- assumed responsibility for Jewish refugees. African migrants need to turn their gaze elsewhere. And where better than the United Nations? Shall we discuss the well-being of elderly and poverty-stricken Jewish concentration camp survivors? Do you REALLY want to engage in that argument with me?
