Kill themselves off! They do nothing for the rest of the world & bring other nations into their B.S
& they support Israel cause "the holy scriptures say any nation that goes against Israel shall parish"
Believe that Israel is holy cause they say so.
Khazar's biggest lie that the rest of the world gobble up as the truth.
So sad.
They were in a Prison not a 5 star hotel. What did you expect?
I dont see anything wrong with the way they were treated.
As far as im concerned i think they should thank their lucky stars it was an Israeli prison.
In most Muslim or Arab prisons in the Middle East they would be beaten, raped and probably killed.
After all, in most of the Muslim countries in the Middle East women are still stoned to death for adultery. In the Palestinian territories they still practice family honor, killing women for anything from adultery, divorce and sex before marriage.
Israel is surrounded by primitive Muslim countries with the lowest rate of civil liberties in the world.
Stop Trolling with your lame propaganda driven posts.
Why should anyone stay away when one side is committing war crimes against an unarmed and victimised indigenous population.
It is their nation. They can deport and detain who they want. whether it be proper or not.
First of all, its not an ‘indigenous population’. The first refugees in Palestine were actually Jews and Jews have lived on the land known as Palestine for 4,000 years (the mustarabim).
Secondly, what do you expect will happen when you prance into a damn war zone??

They were placed in prison simply because they wanted to go to Palestine. Israel has no right to prevent them nor does it have a right to imprison innocent travelers.

Actually, yes. A sovereign nation has every right to determine who crosses their borders and when

It has no right to blockade the Palestinian territories and is required to make arrangement to safely transit travelers and not imprison them.
According to statistics released by the Civil Administration in the West Bank, about 1,123,000 tourists have visited Bethlehem and Jericho during the first nine months of 2008, record numbers since the period before the intifada. This represents a 96.5% increase in the numbers of tourists visiting Bethlehem and 42.3% increase in the numbers visiting Jericho (compared to the same period in 2007).
The Marhaba to Palestine campaign is aimed at protesting the ongoing travel restrictions imposed by Israel on those entering and exiting the occupied territories, and the ongoing denial of Palestinian human rights
Usually, an international activist who wishes to visit Palestine has to conceal her/his political intentions when landing at Ben Gurion Airport, and disguise herself/himself as a tourist with a detailed tour plan.
On July 8th planeloads of international activists, 550 men and women, will land at Ben Gurion and declare openly "we are here to visit Palestine

Unfortunately you seem not to understand international law, the Nuremberg Principles and the Geneva Conventions. It is illegal to blockade a civilian population.
Israel is a country that occupies another and is held to the laws that governs belligerents. We are not talking about an ordinary nation with defined borders. Israel has no defined borders in the areas concerned.edit on 14-7-2012 by Ilovecatbinlady because: (no reason given)
According to Human Rights Watch, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups have launched thousands of rockets into Israel since 2001, killing 15 civilians, wounding many more, and posing an ongoing threat to the nearly 800,000 Israeli civilians who live and work in the weapons' range. Hamas officials have said that the rockets were aimed only at military targets, saying that civilian casualties were the "accidental result" of the weapons' poor quality. According to Human Rights Watch statements by Hamas leaders suggest that the purpose of the rocket attacks was indeed to strike civilians and civilian objects. From January 2009, Hamas largely stopped launching rocket attacks on Israel and has on at least two occasions arrested members of other groups who have launched rockets, "showing that it has the ability to impose the law when it wants".[314] In February 2010, Hamas issued a statement regretting any harm that may have befallen Israeli civilians as a result of Palestinian rocket attacks during the Gaza war. It maintained that its rocket attacks had been aimed at Israeli military targets but lacked accuracy and hence sometimes hit civilian areas. Israel responded that Hamas had boasted repeatedly of targeting and murdering civilians in the media.[315]
