#AirFlotilla to expose once again Israeli blockade of occupied Palestinian West Bank
Israel is threating to deport hundreds of Pro-Palestinian activists and visitors who are expected to arrive at Lod (Ben Gorion) airport on Friday June 8th.
- @AJStream #AirFlotilla Expected arrival of over 500 Pro-Palestinian activists at TelAviv airport tonight.Israel says it will deport them all
"Welcome
to Palestine...let's remember others who have been denied entry to
Palestine by Israel: Prof. Noam Chomsky, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 39th
President of the United States Jimmy Carter, Prof. Norman Finkelstein,
Judge Richard Goldstone, United Nations Special Rapporteur Richard Falk,
Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire...and many more common
folk." quoted from Mr. Sam Bahour facebook page- What question does the #airflotilla raise? Why can't Westerners travel freely to the West Bank and visit Palestinians if they choose so
- Based on their words, #airflotilla passengers want to visit the West Bank openly and proudly which is not that easy nowadays
- Senior Official Ben-Gurion
International Airport told Haaretz "This event will end with either no problems or as a catastrophe. There
will not be a middle-ground, it only takes about 30
activists to make a scene at the airport for media outlets to widely
report on it and thus hand the activists their victory." - Israel asked airlines to provide lists of passengers. @Lufthansa has already been asked to bar 50 people from boarding. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ga-NZAmsphLH-4cn7bD_96Mslksg
- "On Thursday at 10 P.M., a military command post will be opened at
Ben-Gurion, in order to directly tend to the pro-Palestinian activists
expected to arrive over the weekend." - Did you know that Israel is 'on alert' because some 60 year old French women will be visiting Palestine on Friday? #palspring
- Israeli activists planning on holding signs at the airport tom expect to be jailed for 2-3 days by the state #palspring
- Those who wanted to return home walking on land (Nakba+Naksa day) where shot dead before even entering the borders.
Those who wanted to enter Gaza through Sea, the only path they are permitted to by International Law, were blocked and arrested thousands of kilometers far.
Many others attempted entering the West Bank through Jordanian borders were deported because they were to express solidarity with the Palestinian people. Example: Prof. Noam Chomsky
Those desperate to Enter Palestinian terriroties are now attempting to enter through Air. Israeli authorities already deporting anyone who expresses his will to go the Palestinian West Bank.
What other choice do they give us?
