31. ISRAEL, SADLY ,IS LIMITED
THE URBAN RABBI ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.04.18)
To be fair to Mr Low, he probably means well ,regarding african refugees, but he should try to understand that Israel which is the only jewish state, is very small and has limits. Israel lives constantly with the real prospect of future war ,Israelis often have poor economic standards of living . There are limited number of affordable homes available, few decent jobs and yet Mr Low, who does not reside in Israel ,wishes to burden Israel even further than it already is.
We all feel sorry for poor africans ,Low does not have the monopoly on sympathy, but ,realistically we can do little to help. It may not be " nice" to deport these africans from Israel ,but it is necessary .Sometimes in life, we have little choice but to make tough decisions . If Israel does not act today ,in ten years time it will no longer be a jewish state.
32. HOW ABOUT HELPING ME ?
POOR JEW ,   SAFED POVERTY   (02.04.18)
33. SUCH A NERVE ,SUCH CHUTZPAH
THEODORE HURTSEL ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.04.18)
" More and more american liberal jews are showing an interest - and quite a lot of concern -in the government's decision to expel 40,000 Africans" american
" Liberal" jews do not live in Israel ,nor serve in its army ,nor pay taxes and have zero right to make crucial decisions regarding Israel. Let these hypocritical liberal jews personally adopt, clothe, feed and house 40,000 africans instead of lecturing israelis.
34. HIGH AND LOW
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.04.18)
Low needs to get down from his High Horse.....
35. HOW TO DESTROY ISRAEL:
MOSHE CYNIC ,   safed military   (02.04.18)
In order to ,G-d forbid ,destroy the Jewish state, one does not need arab armies,that has been tried and has failed. One does dot even need iranian nuclear weapons. Israel can be destroyed by simply flooding it with africans ,or others .Demographically destroyed is the most effective method.
36. INTERFERING
CAPTAIN REALITY ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.04.18)
Can you imagine what would happen if Israelis interfered in to Joey Low's life and personal life? he would scream BLUE MURDER.
37. PRESIDENT TRUMP AND IMMIGRANTS
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.04.18)
Joey Low should perhaps reflect on the fact that President Trump of the USA has repeatedly promised to build a wall to prevent unwanted illegal immigration into the US and has pledged to deport illegal immigrants. So why is Mr Low only criticisng Israel?
38. RACISM ?
THEODORE HURTSEL ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.04.18)
I do not desire illegal immigrants ,regardless of their skintone / colour. Black ,white ,brown , green illegal is illegal. In other words, race or colour has nothing to do with it.
39. SOUTH TEL-AVIV IS A FAVELA
EGBERTO OBVIO ,   RIO DE JANEIRO   (02.04.18)
40. NEWSFLASH:
YOSSI THE SABRA ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.04.18)
Israeli has no choice but to be tough and make tough decisions ,that is if it wishes to survive as a jewish state.
41. POT CALLING KETTLE " BLACK"
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.04.18)
Joey Low calls Netanyahu " arrogant" ?? Low needs to look in the mirror...
42. JOEY LOW NEEDS TO GROW UP
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.04.18)

Anybody who disgrees with him is called " Racist" ?
























































































































































































































































































































43. Thank you
Tuvia Schertzman,MD   (02.05.18)
Thanks for your concern. The idea that you have money does not make your opinion more valuable than regular Israeli taxpayers. I think we can make mature decisions. Maybe the reform should worry about the explosion of homelessness in the US.
44. a responce to Mr. Joey Low
Roland ,   Tel aviv   (02.05.18)
Mr. Low... thank you for investing your money in Israel, now the better thing you should do is come and live around those guys and then start talking again.Before you do that...you don't have the fukin right to say a damn word about it! who do you think you are? just because you have money you try and tell us what to do?...let me tell you something....yes the jewish religion says exactly what you said with one big difference..we should accept,help and be there for the needy...these are NOT needy,these are rapists,murderers,violent people,they life in groups like in the "getto's"...all they want is receive and do NOTHING! they got already so much but no....nothing is enough so...we are getting rid of them and let me tell you something else....you are very welcome to send over some planes...pick them up and keep them close to you!!
45. Israel should always ASSERT our rights. Never defend
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.05.18)
Why should Israel deport illegals? For the obvious reason that illegals are criminals and don't belong in our sole, tiny precious Homeland. The defensive mentality is completely wrong. Israel should always take the offense. Israel should always ASSERT our rights and never defend anything.
46. Help a stranger, but don't let them move into our Homeland
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.05.18)
Suppose you had a good neighbour whose home burnt down. You might help them by donating them food, blankets etc. You certainly would never invite them to move into your home PERMANENTLY! By all means, Jews should help deserving strangers by donating to them. But they are certainly not allowed to live in Israel.
47. Defend Israel? You?
TZVI ,   Ramat Gan   (02.06.18)
The State of Israel will be here long after you and me with or without your or my defense. One a person donate and believes he is doing the right thing it doesn't mean he has special rights. We should help the State and be humble! Yes humble
48. Joey Low
Steven ,   Fayetteville   (02.06.18)
Mr. Low has been supporting Israel hasbara for over a decade. Sending students to campuses and a variety of other activities. One can certainly disagree with him (I don't), but the idea that anyone who questions Israeli policy on this issue is either uninformed or anti-Israel is just absurd.
49. "welcoming the stranger and taking in those who are in need,
Alan   (02.08.18)
Yes you are right BUT the main need that they are in need of,is a place to escape their military service in Eritrea etc and in need of a good paying job (better than in Africa).Israel is small and in future place will be needed for JEWISH OLIM CHADASHIM.who are being hounded out of Europe by their
millions of Jew hating new arrivals .There is no space for the Africans or any non Jewish people in large numbers. It is for Jews .
50. I have never seen so many Talkbacks in many years.-55 wow!
Alan   (02.08.18)
51. LET HIM BUILD THEM A HOUSE ON HIS PROPERTY
Leah   (02.08.18)
WHY DOESN'T HE BUILD A HOME FOR THEM ON HIS PROPERTY IF HE'S SO WEALTHY AND SO SAD THAT THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO?
IT'S SO EASY TO DUMP THESE PEOPLE ONTO ISRAEL'S POOR POPULATION WHO HAVE BEEN ROBBED AND RAPED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BY THESE IMMIGRANTS.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THEM INTO YOUR OWN HOME WITH YOUR CHILDREN AND THEN WE'LL TALK.
52. Low uses illegal Mexican labor. How low.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (02.09.18)
53. Racism in Israel and US jewry
Noel Nesor ,   Israel   (02.11.18)
While North America, Europe and Africa are following a misguided self destructive policy regarding immigrant invaders, who they define as refugees or migrants, Israel is saying that self defense of our small country and population is of paramount importance. This is an existential problem for the State of Israel and world Jewry needs to understand this.
54. We can send them all to your town
Empress Trudy ,   Raleigh   (02.11.18)
Get ready
55. African Illegals are not of benefit to Israel
LevHazak   (02.13.18)
Let the bleeding heart American Secular Liberal Jews adopt them. The Africans are like Salvadorans & Mexicans in the US Illegally. They are a drain on the country and contribute no more than any other uneducated foreigner. IF they could provide something more than the average Arab then maybe.
