Popular thoughts on my mind... and in my public journal:

Sudanese in Israel

While the title of this article may be accurate, it misses some great / uplifting elements of an otherwise good article. While Darfuris, Southern Sudanese, and Eritreans aren't "welcomed with open arms" they are finding refuge in Israel, and this article is a huge credit to the amazing communitiy in Tel-Aviv that has gone to great lengths to help the refugees.

As part of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) - and our responsibility to ensure "never again" is applied to everyone, not just Jews - I agree with the author that the Israeli government should have a more positive / helpful approach towards refugees fleeing repression (and even genocide) in their own country.
