1. One day soon,
BUILDING ISRAEL ,   United States   (07.08.11)
the passengers at airports will physically throw these bums out of the airports after a sound thrashing. I suspect it will be Americans, wait 'till we play "Cowboys and activists"... The fact that they were booed is a good beginning. You can't shame these know nothings.
2. Activists
Yoel ,   Israel   (07.08.11)
Deport the whole lot to Lybia
3. Michael Wexler's comments
Ivan ,   South Africa   (07.08.11)
While Gaza seems to be controlled by Iran, Israel has the full right to defend its laws and to decide who is eligible to enter the country. These activists are only showing their true hate for the State of Israel.
4. dump them over the border in syria or lebanon
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (07.08.11)
5. "harassment based on politics"
William ,   Israel   (07.08.11)
Isn't that exactly what the global Left has been doing against Israel for many decades?? Those flying in to Ben Gurion and organizing the flotilla admitted they're bringing NO aid and no intentions for peace, and their efforts are 100% anti-Israel. That's political harassment. Add breaking intl law and domestic immigration law to it, and you have a good reason to be deported.
6. Useful idiots...
Baruch ,   Marin County, CA   (07.08.11)
Hey guys. These are nothing more or less than useful idiots, who were probably funded by the godforsaken, virulently anti-Israel US state department through some back channel non-profit group. Here's what you do. Gather them all together, put them on buses, drop them off in Gaza, and let them sit there and get a feel for what it's like living under Sharia law. Or better yet, take them up north and dump them across the Syria border. They'll be dead within minutes, and you'll see Obama immediately "engaged in diplomacy" with Assad. How do I know this? This was the same stunt that was pulled after the first Lebanon war. First come the left-wing activists out of nowhere, and then there goes the economy and the determination of the military to keep the region peaceful rather than have it succumb to trouble makers, who by the way, are just useful idiots doing the bidding of people sitting in offices thousands of miles away who love destabilizing governments. Don't ask me why this is so, but I'll bet you if you follow the money you won't go wrong. Trust me.
7. These Utter Fools
Dan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (07.08.11)
Ah the left once again proving how utterly stupid they are, and the fact its Israeli's makes this a whole lot worse, they will be the first to complain when the rockets start to hit Tel Aviv, but at the same time complain about evil Israel, If you don't Like like it here and you think live in Gaza under the regime of Hamas would be so much better, Leve were not stopping you, and good riddance to bad rubbish. You'l see how much Hamas aproves of Freedom and Liberty and democracy
8. Israeli 'activists
tiki ,   belgium   (07.08.11)
These Israeli """activists"""should be detained and used as a bargaining chip to 'FREE GILAT SHALIT'. It's a 'win'win situation. Hamas gives ONE and gets FIVE and those over 'Active Lefties are deported to Gaza to be with their beloved brothers and sisters to live there in total happiness, because as they state 'over & over again, Israel is a 'much to brutal country for their sensetive constitution. A few years of Hamas rule will be their remedy.
9. Why fly them out?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (07.08.11)
Wait until a convenient 'freedom flotilla' gets too close,stop it,dump the deportees aboard,turn the boats around and let them have a sea trip home. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!
10. Why is "palestinian" always synonymous with "riot"?
William ,   Israel   (07.08.11)
staying in character, pro-"palestinian" supporters "riot" and "bust into" locations. Always violent, always law-breaking, always self-righteous and trampling on the rights of others around them.
11. Mike Wexler - didn't get your copy of Palmer report?
William ,   Israel   (07.08.11)
The Palmer investigative committee, under the auspice of the UN, declared the "siege" on Gaza as completely legal. And one needs to only see the growing economy and movement of Arabs in West Bank to see there isn't a "siege" there. Wexler needs a quick trip to Hama, Syria to re-visit reality, and leave his self-righteous comfort zone.
12. Arrant nonsense- soldiers of asymmetrical warfare.
Stephen in New York ,   s   (07.08.11)
Israel is not obligated to allow in those self-described as “humanists” and “peace activists,” but who are really agents of provocation and soldiers of asymmetrical warfare.
13. picture analysis
daze ,   US   (07.08.11)
Somebody ought to tell that punk in the car flashing the victory sign that he does'nt look defiant and brave, but rather silly, being that he is being taken away in an air conditioned vehicle, and faces no threat of physical harm. The fools milling around in the next picture look like a bunch of guys waiting for a bar to open. Looks like this frolic is going to be added to the growing list of flops being compiled by these radical dullards. So what do you expect when you take up with arabs?
14. #12 Stephen in NY
Nina ,   NYC   (07.09.11)
12. Arrant nonsense- soldiers of asymmetrical warfare. Israel is not obligated to allow in those self-described as “humanists” and “peace activists,” but who are really agents of provocation and soldiers of asymmetrical warfare." But Saudi Arabia is obligated the anti-Arab Israelis in? Do you guys ever pay attention to how irrational your stance is on many many issues?
15. Nina 14
Stephen in New York   (07.09.11)
Your first sentence makes no sense.
