1. Yawn...
mike ,   TA   (06.02.11)
have fun being stuck in security for 12+ hours before being sent back on the plane... What do these people do for a living?
2. # 1 The answer.
Jules   (06.02.11)
They collect their salaries from the UNRWA.
3. cool..
DanLondon ,   London   (06.02.11)
good for the airlines balance sheets, and thousands of shekels worth of airport taxes for the Israeli government. happy protesting!
4. Great idea!
yesjb ,   Canada   (06.02.11)
They should be treated with the utmost politeness and experience the same delays as anyone else. Then they should be put on buses and driven to the west bank where they can meet their fellow Jew-haters...and told to book their return flight through Amman.
5. @yawn
Leonard ,   USA   (06.02.11)
That's good to know. Where do they get this right to return, they and so many other people just don't know their history.
6. Let's make some money off these fools!
Sargent Preston ,   U.S.A.   (06.02.11)
Charge them each for all the extra security they will require. Then instead of letting them fly back, just dump them over the border into Syria or Lebenon, and say Sionara. If they try and get back in, spray them with rubber bullets.
7. Lovely
rachel ,   chutz4now   (06.02.11)
I will be stuck in Lod because of these! My Right to return and travel will be messed up.
8. Hahaha!!! Seriously!?
Etoile ,   Montreal, CAN   (06.02.11)
I remember making a little joke along the lines of... "what are they going to do, buy ELAL tickets and invade Israel through the power of numbers?" I seriously didn't think it was a real consideration. So they end up helping Israeli tourism and if they are deemed a national threat, will be deported. Such a great use of resources for your cause!
9. Boring Protesters
DavidM ,   USA   (06.02.11)
These professional protesters are getting boring. They flitter in, pose for pictures in their new outfits, and flitter out for the next protest. They don't work so they have lots of time to protest.As soon as they arrive they should be put on the first plane out.
10. A bunch of people with no lives and nothing better to do
Falafelis ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.02.11)
11. #1: you ask "what do these people do for a living?"
david ,   new york   (06.02.11)
who needs to do anything for a living when you are being generously funded by the jew haters of the world. do you remember the turkish jihad ship where each of those "protesters" were carrying tens of thousands of dollars. our enemies are not short of cash.
12. This is their great idea?
Mark ,   New York   (06.02.11)
500 people...what a joke. security will not let 80% of them on the plane and the rest will be stopped at BG airport. What a waste of time by these fools.
13. If anything, this is good for Israel!
Scott ,   US   (06.02.11)
When someone flies into an airport, that person has to pay taxes to the government of the country in which that airport resides. So by purchasing tickets to fly to Israel, the anti-Israel protesters are actually giving money to the Israeli government. Funny to think that this is better than buying Israeli products! As for security, it is common view in the West that shenanigans are not tolerated within airports. As long as the Israeli police and Defense Forces act as they should, the liberal media will have a real hard time spinning this one!
14. warn them now. pick up, charge, confiscate all goods, drop
ralph   (06.02.11)
off in gaza. let them and hamas figure out and pay for getting back whereever they came from. with charge against them, they are barred by name from ever boarding a plane, boat to israel.
15. lol
(06.02.11)
a country can deny access duh
16. They must be idiots. How many actually
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (06.02.11)
think they'll be allowed in to Israel given our strict security system and our intent to send them packing. It will have cost them a pretty penny, however, not only the cost of a return air flight but the cost of food at the Ben Gurion airport as well.
17. #1 Yawn
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (06.02.11)
If they want their "Right of Return" so much, bus the whole damn lot of them to Gaza and let them walk "home."
18. @1: apparently... this.
joe ,   st louis usa   (06.02.11)
19. Fly Ins
John Robey ,   Austin, Texas   (06.02.11)
The civil rights movement (supported to a large degree by Jews in America) tried sit ins, freedom rides etc. It worked here, maybe it will work there. Of course, not even in Mississippi did we have segregated highways or aparthied walls like Israel, but we did have segregated schools restruants etc.. I think we learned from the experience ...the human will for self determination is universal
20. Who says the plane has to be allowed to land?
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.02.11)
Start requiring that passports be faxed 1 hour before takeoff and no passengers be boarded without permission. Two can play that game.
21. Great: prohibit their entry as undesirables &
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (06.02.11)
put themin detention until they can get a flight back. Make them pay all expenses.
22. Obviously these losers don't know anything...
Lobo ,   USA   (06.02.11)
I'd be surprised if they were even let on the plane...
23. charge the protester
Misha ,   US   (06.02.11)
This seems easy enough to deal with. Israel should have the names, addresses and such of the protesters, so just send them the bill for the cost of dealing with them. I don't know how it works in Europe, but in the U.S., if you don't pay up, it's easy enough to wreck the person's credit rating. I'd also let the Palestinians know they are on the hook for any unpaid fines.
24. #1 They are motivated by hate
(06.02.11)
25. It demonstrates the weakness of Israel.
Roger ,   USA   (06.02.11)
The enemies know how to attack the Jewish states in time of weakness.
26. I'm coming home
Son of Yaffa ,   Palestine   (06.02.11)
27. palestinians o ben gurion airport
joel ,   usa   (06.02.11)
these muslim arabs think that all people are scared of their murderous & violent tactics, but there are people that can give them " an eye for an eye. and a tooth for a tooth " attitude, so they would run scaring, ha, ha, ha? even bin laden was afraid to die so he sends his "idiots" suicide bombers to protect him and hid in pakistan for 5 years, where he had 70 virgins, not in hell where he is now! israel must exercise all options to eradicate threats! UN is just a "Useless Nation".
28. How about the Jews of Arab countries right of return?
david ,   Hartford USA   (06.02.11)
Just as many Jews were forced to leave Arab countries as Arabs that FLED israel. Not one deserves the honor of living in Israel, the JEWISH homeland for 3500 years. (Before Islam was even a dream in Mo's warped little mind.)
29. More tourist dollars for the economy!
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (06.02.11)
30. "Protest at the Airport"
Raz ,   Rischlach   (06.02.11)
Good luck getting through, and even that, good luck uttering a peep in the most secure place on Earth. You'll be sent back ASAP without having the chance to utter a sound. Your waste of money. Idiots.
