1. "welcome to palestine" what the hell is that pic!?!??!
Ester   (07.08.11)
thats crazyy!!!!!!! we dont need democracy really here we need a zionist jewish state arrest all these idiots!!!
2. A large percentage is just based on hate.
Robert ,   NY USA   (07.08.11)
Many westerners who support palestine really do it because they hate Jews. And many who support Israel do it because they hate Muslims. Neither helps bring peace, if it's not based on reality, fairness, and facts. It just spreads that type of bigoted thinking and propaganda.
3. Flytilla
Mark ,   La Canada, USA   (07.08.11)
A new source of revenue for Israel; Terrorism-Tourism Send these puerile infant attention seekers back to whence they came.
4. Support for Hamas?
Jan Kronenberg ,   Berlin in Germany   (07.08.11)
As a matter of fact, I learned that Muslims, Shiite Muslims in particular, chop of the hands of thieves. Hamas is a Shiite organisation, I understand? And, in addition I learned that the Shiites have a religious law different from the Sunnies (any Muslim law is related to the law of Moses, that's clear from the Koran). The Koran instructs the amputation of the hands of thieves only if they do not regret that they have stolen. The Shiites, for example in Iran, just amputate the hands of any thief. No one must support the Shiite interpretation of the law of Moses (God's law), and therefore no one must support Hamas. Am I wrong?
5. Self defense is not paranoia!!!!!!!
George ,   NYC   (07.08.11)
You come to make trouble? You go home. No psychiatrist needed.
6. Based on previous excursion of terror tourists
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (07.08.11)
Eager to participate in "Throw Rocks at the IDF" regularly scheduled events, Israel like any other normal country in the world, is perfectly within its rights to deny entry to anyone, for any reason. For these retards, for very good reason.
7. Since when is encouraging terror "Non-Violence"
EZ ,   USA   (07.08.11)
These FANATICS know damn well what their actions are saying and doing. If they want to continuously stir up the hatred of Israel, THEY should be deported! Now is not a time for self-serving political BS! Now is a time for unity among Israelis: those who stand WITH TERROR as these misguided loonies DO, they should be stripped of their citizenship and deported. Democracy or not, the Jewish People cannot afford to be so reckless, so careless as to encourage those who demonize Jews and Israel. Enough of these leftist fanatics! Deport them!!!
8. #2 Robert
solomon ,   bklyn   (07.08.11)
You may be right, but only up to a point. Read some history. Include archeology, and the Bible as a history book. You'll find that the "Pals" history is mostly fantasy. And also that their intention is not peace, but to destroy Israel. Also read about Israel's withdrawals (from Sinai, Gaza, South Lebanon) and what were the results. , (Hint: attacks by arabs to destroy Israel.)
9. The flytilla morons are going to Israel to antagonise
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.08.11)
Israelis, cause confrontation and disturb the peace. Throw them in jail for their own safety. Who the hell do they think they are to leave their countries and go to another to cause confusion!!!
10. A bunch of actors.
Janey ,   Uk   (07.08.11)
What a joke look what is happen in SYRIA AND THEY COMING TO ISRAEL. They are all looking for an oscar.
11. Peace Activists
Simon ,   Netanya   (07.08.11)
These 'peace' activists ISM and other terror assistance groups groups are in fact 'war' activists they reject all compromise, they reject a 2 state solution and any compromise or negotiations. They preach for war and the destruction of the Jewish state
12. 69 Deported to . . . where?
emanon ,   USA   (07.08.11)
No country wants them, so where did they go?
13. These activiists and leftists know better!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (07.08.11)
They know that if they displayed similar anti-state protests in Arab countries they would be shot without hestitation like in Syria, Libya, etc. They are taking advantage of Israel's soft reaction. Israel is right to deport these foreign agitators, and the Israeli leftists at the airport supporting these should be arrested for incetement against the state. Period.
14. I thought you were handing out roses....
Marco   (07.08.11)
What happened? Man o' man, I love the look on the faces of those tourists that are not involved. They came in expecting roses only to be detained and interrogated Jewish style....lol
15. Ester
Loft ,   Israel   (07.08.11)
Yes Ester, you are indeed crazy.
16. Too many jews
Teeyar Mi norwegia ,   Oslo, Norway   (07.08.11)
Iinvited a former friend - a leftwing,anti-racist, pro-palestinian activist, to a new years party in my home. He arrived the party, but after a while he excused himself & talked to me alone in the kitchen. His words were: "I cant stay at your party,because there's too many jews & too much jewstuff (we have an Israeli flag in our home) here" So, if I were a jew, I wouldn't be too excited about getting visits from the socalled "anti-racists" of Europe.
17. @2
Dan ,   USA   (07.08.11)
Robert - I disagree. Being a westerner I can safely say that I hate neither the Jews nor the Arabs. Coming strictly from a secular point of view, the Arabs are clearly the aggressors/instigators and I can't see how anyone can logically side with them. If the Arabs lay down their weapons, there will be peace. If the Jews lay down their weapons, there will be no more Israel.
18. Matan Cohen & Co…
Alice ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.08.11)
As a matter of fact, according to US and UK Law, all “peace activists” – Hamas supporters, are considered terrorists, and can be sued. If you are not happy in Israel, Iran has lots of room for you ….
19. Long Live ISRAEL - Do what it takes to rid us
Michael H ,   Canada   (07.08.11)
of these morons! If I had just landed in Israel and saw someone with a welcome to Palestine sign i would knock him out! This is what we did in ancient times whe someone insulted our country!!!!
20. new respect
daze ,   US   (07.08.11)
As I look at those smug, smiling faces on those two, with their flashing signs of victory, I took on new respect for the Jewish state. They gently herded these folks back out the way they came, so they accomplished nothing, except for showing what a kind , caring democracy, the Jewish state is. Anywhere else in this neighborhood they would not be allowed leave so soon, and when they finally were allowed to leave, they would be stooped over, missing some teeth, and they sure would'nt be smiling. God bless the Jewish state of Israel!
21. US Law allows Peaceful Protest
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.08.11)
...but its a different story in Israel, where the right wing dominates the political scene, the courts, the police, the military, and suppresses left wing political activity.
22. Very very true #1 and # 2
Israeli 2   (07.08.11)
23. Good job Israel. Only the paranoid survive in that vile
Frank ,   California USA   (07.08.11)
Middle Eastern neighborhood. 6 wars, 2 intifadas, countless terrorist and media attacks later Israel has the right to be paranoid. In fact, Considering that the adversaried, haters of Jews/Israel have employed every possible type of warfare against the Jewish state Israel must be vigilant at all times. The day Israel will let its guard down the Jewish state will come to an end. Israel is not in Micronesia surrounded by peaceful people. We know what and who surrounds Israel.
24. Send them to Syria
Ron ,   OC, US   (07.08.11)
I hope the happy travellers have non refundable tickets...By By
25. Protesting for Palestine
Nahum Froumin ,   R. Hasharon Israel   (07.08.11)
I want to tell the "Free Palestine" advocates that fly in to our airport to attract attention to their favourite theme that there are many other causes around the world waiting for their attention and flag waving. I want these 'professional protestors' to join arms in the pursuit of life and justice with The Federation of Xicaque Tribes of Yoro. The indiginous Xicaque tribes in the mountains of Honduras are being persecuted. 18 of the tribe's leaders have been murdered since the group began serious efforts to forge ethnic political solidarity. This is a tale of disease, invasion, resistance, and slow ethnocide by colonization and state institutions. Well worth a visit by EasyJet.
26. wishing them all good Shobbas...
jonathan ,   london/ israel   (07.08.11)
27. Global lesson:
(07.08.11)
& be sure to be back home fast!
28. Conclusion:
(07.08.11)
29. Easy-Jet?
Izzik-Jew   (07.08.11)
A lightning-fast way back home!
30. Aren't you tired of them already?
Mark ,   J-lem   (07.08.11)
Frankly, I am. All those activists, from both radical left and right, how long they will torture regular decent Israeli citizens? These pathetic "idealists" always turning to be racists, attention wh*res, educated fools, lunatics, paranoiacs. Not a single decent person among them. From now on I will boycott any left-wing extremist, right-wing extremist, religious fanatic, anarchist in every way possible. FIGHT FOR DECENCY, RATIONALISM AND GOOD OF ISRAELI PEOPLE.
