Israel, Europe Turn Back Pro-Palestinian Activists at Airports
(AP) Jeremy Last - Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters trying to reach Israel were blocked at airports in Europe and two American activists who arrived in Israel were deported Friday, Israeli officials said. Israel had asked foreign airlines to prevent blacklisted travelers from boarding Israel-bound flights. At Israel's request, several airlines barred about 200 would-be protesters from boarding flights to Israel from Europe, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
