1. I would of like to welcome one of them to Israel
(04.15.12)
With a right hook to the jaw.
2. To all the activists that suffered the disapointment
Peggy ,   united kingdomstan   (04.15.12)
of not getting that holiday in Israel, going clubbing and enjoying the beaches, we urge you to call "Flytilla.eurostan" and book a protest flight to a country of your choice listed.. Sudan Syria Iran Somalia in fact most Islamic countries. We have added North Korea to the list. We feel you are just looking for the country with the soft touch, so if you are really up for peoples rights and humanatarian issues, then do contact us and book, we will be happy to arrange a group booking. Please note Palestine is not on the list as there isnt such a place and we can't send you to nowhereland, but Gaza is avaliable via Cairo. We look forward to doing business with you.
3. Deal with them as hostile invaders.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.15.12)
It is time to take off the gloves. Israel should deal with hostile "activists" as invaders. Which they are.
4. $UPER AGENT 86 A$$IMILATION
sick mind ,   from mental hospital   (04.15.12)
5. fortress israel
cousin   (04.15.12)
cannot confine Palestine forever. All castles are eventually breached.
6. "activists"
tiki ,   belgium   (04.15.12)
There is nothing "activist about them. They are provoking agitators" and 100% anti Israel. So stop calling them with the name they gave themselves to make themselves more acceptable, but call them what they realy are......provoking agitators.
7. Why Not Visit Syria??
leo ,   nyc   (04.15.12)
Oh I forgot, these people are only interested in the dissolution of the sovereign state of Israel...human rights violations in the rest of the world are of no real interest to them...
8. Israeli Leftists, when will they realize that Palestine ....
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (04.15.12)
is not the problem nor the reason for the hatred of Israel and Jews? You don't need hundreds of supporters to lay a cornerstone. The problem IS hatred of Jews which includes them as well! Do they really think that if Israel withdraws from Judea and Samaria that all would be well? The perfect example is Gaza. Israel withdrew and what happened? Terror, kidnapping Gilad Shalit and thousands of rockets falling on Israelis and that has got nothing to do with the West Bank and the fictional state of Palestine! These pseudo do-gooders are nothing but Antisemites who support terror.
9. Flytilla
Lou ,   Israel   (04.15.12)
A disgusting lot of people. Real morons. Don't they work!! Why don't they go to Syria, where they will be welcomed with open arms from the President of Syria!!!
10. Don't let them return via Israel
James Meeker ,   USA   (04.15.12)
Let them rot in Bethlehem for a few years.
11. Get 'em on the way out
Miao   (04.15.12)
Detain them when they attempt to leave the country - charge them with entering under false pretenses. Enough of this crap.
12. heavy burden on Israel
observer ,   Egypt   (04.15.12)
now Israel has to prove that the 3 activists has reached Bethlehem via Jordan before detaining them in the return trip. ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION.
13. #2..Peggy
Malone ,   Hfx   (04.15.12)
Very well said!
14. Israeli leftists are truly idiotic
Rachel ,   US   (04.15.12)
No other explanation!
15. if they lied to immigration?
boris ,   world   (04.15.12)
Did the immigration asked the three if they are lying to enter in israel? like other done before and video reported. If they lied what will happen? deported?
16. Israel is failing to show Europe is commiting same crimes
Ivan ,   Haifa   (04.15.12)
if not worses-
17. to #2 your mistake
Ivan ,   Haifa   (04.15.12)
Is to ignore that Somalia s situation is the consequence of the european invasion against their main resources. Dialy european companies send armored boats with mercenearies protecting them to fish in Somalias water, causing unemployment, hunger, etc...other companies steal different resources. Instead telling them to deal with somalian goverment, they should go to ask their own goverments if they respect human rights abroad, what about Spain in Afghanistan or basque country?, what about all them in Libia killing black people togather with radical islamists?
18. How pathetic their poster with a picture of children
David ,   Israel   (04.15.12)
Always forever pulling whatever card they can in their games of distortion and propaganda. If they really gave any sort of damn for children, they'd spend some of the billions in aid to create a proper school system that teaches them more then to hate Israel. When will the world wake up
19. To: No. 12
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.15.12)
No, all Israel has to do is escort them to the Allenby Bridge, and tell them to find a flight home out of Amman.
20. 2 - Missed again ignorant pinhead ,...
split ,   US   (04.15.12)
None of those countries you listed claim or pretend to be a democracy.
21. flytilla
philipmax ,   NY   (04.15.12)
Other countries (russia, for instance) issue punishing fines for violating national rules. A $50,000 fine or 2 years in jail should be a good detrrent.
22. #9
shmulke ,   w   (04.15.12)
By "open arms" I'm sure you mean weapons with the safeties off or in automatic mode.
23. What a travesty...
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (04.15.12)
If they have a bone to pick with perpetrators of human rights violations, I know a few choice destinations for them, Iran, Saoudi-Arabia (were men are men, and women are property) coming to mind. Of course, this would have them running the risk of having their heads struck off their shoulders, so they chose to vent their ill-founded and hypocritical moral outrage in a safer environment. It's quite tiring, and occasionally infuriating.
24. Was a good day for a 'last minute' or 'standby to Eretz :-)
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (04.15.12)
25. To #5# Fortress Israel
Ruben Jacobi ,   Uk   (04.15.12)
It is only as you describe for people who wish to hurt Israel. I am not sure but check it out for your self. There are about 3 million people a year who visit Israel per annum with no problems, and if you think that they are all Jews, you are wrong.
26. Activist... no, pure anti-israel hate
David ,   UK   (04.15.12)
These people are the new face of fascism and racism, the agenda is thinly vialed hate of all things Israeli... be assured they do not put this amount of energy into the woe's of this planet... Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Oil industry, whale fishing, tobacco industry etc etc
27. what exactly does democracy mean to the left?
zionist forever   (04.15.12)
A DEMOCRACY DOES NOT DEPORT PEOPLE BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY. I just find it so annoying the way leftists and do gooders constantly use words like democracy & apartheid in any context they like so they can use them to justify their cause. Since when did deportation of trouble makers have anything to do with the democratic process? Do these people seriously think Israel is the only country in the world to deport people, its not like these people are refugees and we will be sending them to their deaths if they are deported. I hope that they enjoy their little protests in Judea & Samaria where the world will not take any notice of them and the ones currently in prison & awaiting deportation I do hope they have enjoyed their time in Israel experiencing things the average tourist does not.
28. How many THOUSANDS of activists
A ,   Belgium   (04.15.12)
were they expecting? And how many actually reached Bethlehem....3? THREE?? And French...well, thats no surprise. Probably thought it would be safer in "palestine" than in "paristan". Another lofty balloon filled with hot "palestinian" air that never gets anywhere and crashes, rather like a N. Korean missile.
29. who is who?
me   (04.15.12)
who makes the decisions israel or usa? who carries weapons usa or israel? who the fires israel or usa? who hides behind who? who handles the money usa or israel? who is the servant,whom his lord? usa or israel? who is the scapegoat for who? israel or usa? who is the good and the evil? who is the liar and the true? who uses whom? israel or usa? who is the light and the dark? usa or israel? that´s the question, who is whom? only usa and israel know
30. They are not "activists", they are provocateurs
Sidney ,   USA   (04.15.12)
Israeli newspapers should use the correct terminology. These people deceive themselves by self righteousness into thinking that nothing else matters. When you are a guest in someone else's home or country, you are expected to show good manners.
