To the country club radicals, if you have to ask about Israeli jail, you should not be there. You may want to reconsider your subversive little misdeeds

35. These "activists" represent the human waste
Dan ,   USA   (07.09.11)
They should have been incinerated at birth.
36. Israeli Turkish relations will never be the same
usa   (07.09.11)
It's over.
37. a bunch of spoiled brats in search of adventure , send them
rachel ,   usa   (07.09.11)
to lybia or the congo ....they will get their money's worth there!
38. Some observations and advice:
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (07.09.11)
(1) The "flytilla" terrorists should try pulling their pathetic little stunt in Syria or Bahrain where people are REALLY being oppressed. (2) Israel should ensure that everyone arrested on Israeli soil is stripped of all their material possessions, so the cost of their incarceration and repatriation is borne by the "activists," not the State. (3) Instead of flooding the airport with security personnel (which makes us look hysterical, brutish and weak), intelligence should have been operating before and at the points of embarkation. Our enemies are far more frightened of the invisible hand of Israel operating worldwide, than of officers in uniform. We have to ensure they know that we operate worldwide and "know everything."
39. Israel can be relied upon to shoot itself in the foot
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (07.09.11)
No imagination at all. In stead of welcoming them and providing transport to Qalandia, which would have been a great public relations coup for Israel, Israeli officials acted in a predictably callous way. In spite of the fact that there was no agression, no violence at all, all the activists were simply arrested for no other reason than to state that they wanted to travel to the Occupied Territories, which really makes their case, namely that the Palestinians under occupation are even denied their visitors.
40. Activits
Darren Fields ,   Glasgow   (07.09.11)
They won...and the press helped them! Unfortunately in Israel, when a baby farts in Afula, the press report it!
41. Bias, Lies, Blindness
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (07.09.11)
Bias, Lies, Blindness. the Media has to be blamed for stirring up bias reports. The UN & EU has to be blamed for clinging on to lies for an easy short-cut to a false-peace. the world has to be blamed for her blindness, which result in blind hatred for God's people (the target of world's sin & sorrows). if the Ben-Gurion Airport is changed to Airport of Libya, or of Iran, or even anyway in Gaza, and the activists changed to those rallying for justice for treatment of Jews, i guess the story will be completely different, the activists will be killed at point-blank, without any questioning. The silly world will remain dumb and numb at their demise. Who cares for anyone died for defending the jews? no matter what the gazans or the palestinians do, the world will find some ways to justify their deeds, and say "all sins" in the world has their root originated from the Jews. what a sinful world.
42. #40 They won...the Darwin Award
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.09.11)
Another useless effort by the floptilla squadron. Sent back home or to a holding cell for questioning before they had the opportunity to disrupt Ben Gurion Airport or parts of Israel. Let's see the Palestinians grow a spine and not use shills to trespass into Israel for these lame performances. Good job airport security!
43. #21 She's loving every minute
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.09.11)
More male attention than she's seen in years. All those hours practicing drop, scream, kick finally paid off. I'm hoping these people come out of the closet. Post their names and identify who financed their escapade. Golden opportunity to expose the anti-Israel industry which has nothing to do with helping the Palestinians.
44. Re #33 Under Sharia you are allowed to arrest
John ,   Alaska   (07.09.11)
someone who is carrying a Bible. Just kidding. Not really; they'll tear up your Bible and throw it away, but if you wear a crucifix they will arrest you for blasphemy.
45. flytilla
Bernard ,   Israel   (07.09.11)
It is amazing how Europeans have the shame, audacity and arrogance to criticize Israel! Out of all the nations of the world they are the ones' who have raped, abused, occupied, spread their culture and mutilated more people than any other nations. They sit in their pompous parliaments criticizing Israel! what a joke they are! double standards from a collection of countries that cashes in on it's history and not it's future! What 'right' does the European have to settling in America, Australia, SA, New Zealand, S America etc etc? who are they? The majority of Americans less than two generation ago came from outside the US including the current President! The Jewish people have a historic & proven connection to Israel, it is a legal state recognized by the UN with a proven good record of human rights, equality of religions and gender, not like our Muslim neighbors and Europeans who do not have the 'right' to settle outside Europe, but that's 'different'. Israel is undeniably the home of the Jewish people. All people are welcome to visit this country and remain legally and are entitled to voice their opinions in a free and democratic manner. Let those pathetic Europeans go to Syria or Iran and 'demonstrate' to see what reaction they get there! And as for the Europeans, well the British can't even resolve their situation in Ireland! let alone the rest of the world which fortunately they no longer occupy as part of the previous the pompous British Empire!
46. Ben @ 39,your concern for Israel's well being is surpising
leo ,   usa   (07.09.11)
47. Deport them to Syria
Alex ,   Argentina   (07.09.11)
These activists must be sent immediately to the Syrian border and released there.
48. #27 Harry Wright - Excellent point!!!
Devorah   (07.09.11)
If they had a shred of credibility left, you totally destroyed it.
49. wound care
daze ,   US   (07.09.11)
#39 no shooting of the foot-"Israeli hygiene". They managed to prevent foreign subversive bacteria from creating more trauma by further infecting an existing open wound- surly arrogant arabs that have oozed into the Jewish state, and think they own the place
50. No 39 Ben
ray ,   zurich /Israel   (07.09.11)
If these people really wanted to visit Palestine then why did they not fly to Jordan which if you knew your facts is part of Palestine if you belive their is or ever was a country named Palestine..How come no one protested when the Palestinian land was under Egypt ,Syria and Jordans control before 1967 Any answers Ben from Bangor What about freedom for the Welsh ??
51. Any Trials?
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (07.09.11)
So they've been arrested. Will any be tried? Aside from the thought crime of disagreeing with Netanyahu's government, what is the crime? Or does it matter? Will they get Red Cross visits?
52. To: John Darren at No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.09.11)
Oh, sweetheart, this one's easy. Why on earth would a terrorist piece of trash want to build an airport if he can use the money to buy missiles to fire into Israel instead? Well -- no one can actually accuse the ersatz "Palestinians" of having brains --- can they?
53. please, not in france back
thierry ,   paris   (07.09.11)
please Do not send them in France back. Help us!!!! keep them away, but not in France. please!!!!
54. USEFUL IDIOTS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.09.11)
The world needs fools too! It's funny to see what the bored people, with extra cash, throughout the world do, just to feel they are worthwhile. But they picked the wrong cause, you see there is nothing for them to protest, and their problems, like the Palestinians, are self inflicted.
55. #23
Sisyphus ,   Bristol, UK   (07.09.11)
Where did you get your education? You are worried about passengers being delayed? Try being a pregnant Palestinian at an Israeli checkpoint., You are SO blinded! Either that or just self-centred. Poor you, being inconvenienced by people who are speaking up for those worse off than themselves : ( http://blog.amnestyusa.org/escr/the-crisis-in-gaza-and-the-rafah-crossing-how-much-has-changed/
56. To: No. 51
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.09.11)
How many visits from the Red Cross has Gilad Shalit gotten? Shut up. Your ignorance is showing.
57. Do these people ever work?
DavidM ,   USA   (07.09.11)
How is it that these people have so much free time? I doubt that any of them has ever held a job or run a business other than maybe selling marijuana. They spend their time tanning on boats in Greece and flittering away to endless anti-Israel demonstrations with an occasional diversion to smash windows during the annual G8 summit. They should be sent to Syria and see how they like it there.,
58. What kind of CRIMINAL state arrests people for flying?
Daveed ,   USA   (07.09.11)
Nonviolent tourist who have a passion for human rights are arrested????
59. #58 Daveed
Dallas ,   Canada   (07.09.11)
In case you have been in a coma for the last 10 years, you might have noticed that airports are very poor venues for civil disturbances. You talk about "human rights", but make a mockery of yourself by completely misunderstanding what is meant by the term.
60. #51 Mark BJ - Again with dumb questions
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (07.09.11)
They're entitled to get the same trials & visits that Gilad Shalit got The fact is their entry isn’t recorded, so they really don’t exist, they’re disposable like toilet paper As of today, they're not merely disagreeing, they've been involved in rock throwing at our Security Forces If this were an Arab country, they would have already been shot to death for resisting the authorities Any more stupid questions ?
