Israel's Travel Woe

From Yahoo:
"Israel nabs fly-in activists at airport"

Israel detained dozens of international activists as they landed at its main airport on Sunday, preventing them from entering the country to participate in a planned solidarity mission with Palestinians in the West Bank. Israel said the activists, part of an umbrella group called "Welcome to Palestine," were provocateurs who posed a security threat. But organizers said the event, meant to draw attention to Israeli travel restrictions on Palestinians, was nonviolent, and they accused Israel of using heavy-handed tactics to stamp out legitimate protest. By early evening, the Interior Ministry said a total of 49 people had been stopped at the airport, most on flights from France, but also from Spain, Switzerland, Canada, Italy and Portugal. At least 12 were placed on flights back home, while arrangements were being made to expel the others.

^ Good job Israel! I think what they did was justified. These so-called activists did not want to accomplish anything of importance, but merely cause trouble. Israel had a good comment in response to the "activists'" claim of human rights abuse. Israel said that they should go to Syria or Iran and try the same tactics there. Unlike Israel, who would only deport them, Syria and Iran wouldn't hesitate to put them to death. Also, the "activists" forget that the Palestinians voted in a terrorist government that openly calls for the destruction of Israel and sends suicide bombers and missiles into Israel regularally. Let the "activists" try to put a good spin on why the Palestinians kill innocent men, women and children. Also the fact that Arba countries like Egypt and Jordan treat the Palestinians living in their countries as third-class citizens and yet no one seems to care about that. These "activists" just need to learn the facts and do something more productive with their lives. Israel has every right (as does other nations) to protect itself and in this case they are merely protecting themselves. ^
