Preserving Judaism
Israel is the global home country for those of Jewish ethnoreligious heritage. This trait requires Israel to be far more protective its cultural future than a secular nation. With a small landmass and a total population of 8 million it's cautious about the balance of it's demographics to conserve our place in the world. Particularly with hostile neigbouring countries, maintaining a strong national position is necessary to ensure our existance. These kids are only symbolic. It's a precedent.

No Pity for Migrants
Israel allowed these workers a conditional working visa to perform a needed task. These workers broke the openly violated the conditions of their visa. They shouldn't of been involved in romantic relationships. They shouldn't of had children. They shouldn't be overstaying their visa. This precendent may set a trend where migrant workers abuse their visa conditions to attain permanent living conditions. This could hurt future applicants who intend to work for Israel in good faith.

Chosen People
For years Catholics have been falsely labelled as anti-semitic because we oppose the hypocritical standards of Israel. Mistaken Jews like Babayoff believe that such double standards are THEIR unquestionable right because they believe that persons of the Jewish race are the only chosen people... All races are equally precious in the eyes of God and the Church. The OLD Testament is exactly that--OLD! It's about time Israel realised that the Messiah has been around for 2,000 years already.

radicals
Firstly babayoff and other supporters of the ultra right wing fascist lekkud party in Israel need to be forced from any position of power whatsoever,these people and their radical violent policies are no better than the Nazis and hezbola. it is unfortunate for Israel that these fascists are kept in power by radical settlers and others that support ethnic cleansing policies,especially where palistinians are concerned. Glad that their views are not supported by many Israelies,GET RID OF THEM!

A fine line.
The "pro-deportation" speaker is all law and no heart. The "anti-deportation" speaker is all heart and no law. The truth, however, is that this is purely racially motivated and that is being thinly whitewashed with the law. I say 'thinly' because Zionism's core principle is racism; having a Jewish majority in Israel is priority number one. These three factors, I believe, contribute to the overall question at hand.
