Ms. Kutnicki from Israel said: “The definition of illegal means NOT Legal/AGAINST THE LAW. All the rest, including the warm and fuzzy photo ops of kiddies should flow from that, and be viewed under that prism.”
You’re right! The Philippine government have prepared to receive it’s Filipino citizens & their Israeli born children facing deportation from Israel. The Philippine government have only asked the Israeli government that they be treated humanely.
Ms. Kutnicki from Israel said: “People who come to Israel ILLEGALLY are doing so at their own risk.It is not one to be borne by the gov’t, nor by legal citizens.Therefore, when people have children in a country where they are illegals, or bring those children with them on a risky venture as they enter illegally or stay past their visas, it is irrelevant to the reality of their illegal behavior.”
If you are talking about the Chinese construction workers, Filipino elder-care aides, Thai farmers migrant workers, your statement is wrong. They entered legally with a working visas & have overstayed partly because they have children born in Israel.
Ms. Kutnicki from Israel said: “The point being, Israel is a tiny state, smaller than the size of Lake Michigan.Israel’s reason for being is to remain a Jewish homeland for Jews from all over the world, generations of Jews coming ‘home’ after centuries of persecution.Therefore, ANY thing, ANY one who disrupts this delicate balance has no business seeking our mercy.
So you saying Jews should only live in Israel? And all the Jews born in other countries other than Israel, like in the U.S. should be deported back to Israel in accordance with the Jewish Law of Return?
Remember your history, most Jewish immigrants that entered the U.S. (and other countries) 65 years ago at the end of WWII were refugees.
Ms. Kutnicki from Israel said: “The notion that because Jews were persecuted, that it is their obligation to receive anyone into its borders is preposterous and dangerous. Our place here is NOT as a refuge for others(even those seeking to earn a living)but as a refuge for Jews.Period.”
Wrong again. It’s the Israeli born children that is the subject matter here. No civilized country in the world will deport their citizens to another country. The law of nationality Jus Soli applies even to children born in Israel of non-Jewish parents. It’s the conscience of all the righteous Israelis that is against the deportation of these children. Israelis like the Industry Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, Defense Minister Barak, & Rotem Ilan to name the many if not the majority. Rotem Ilan, Chairwoman of the Israeli Children said “We brought these people here to plough our fields, build our houses and take care of our grandparents. And with people, come families. Ms Ilan argued that it was the deportation of children that threatened Israel’s Jewish character. The obligation to act with kindness and compassion to foreigners is the most frequently repeated commandment in the Torah.”
Ms. Kutnicki from Israel said: “Whoever has a problem with the above should walk a mile in the shoes of our people who have fled hither and yon to FINALLY come home-the Israeli radical left notwithstanding.”
Agreed, but please read this unknown history of the Philippines-Israel relations before the start of WWII in Asia when the Philippines was prosperous nation. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/vjw/philippines.html
1,200 Jewish refugees in the Philippines…….1,200 Israeli born children facing deportation?
God bless you Ms. Kutnicki of Israel.
