Israel Thanks European Airlines for Blocking Pro-Palestinian Activists
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin, Herb Keinon, and Tovah Lazaroff - Israeli Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch on Sunday thanked European countries and airlines for refusing to allow hundreds of activists to board aircraft bound for Israel. Over 60 activists who had reached Israel were barred entry. At least 30 activists were taken to Givon prison in Ramle pending their return flights, and activists from Portugal, Canada, Switzerland and France have already been flown out of the country, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
