As the Nord-Korean secret services mentioned  the best solution for Arab-Israeli  conflict  will be definitely  to arm Palestinians with small nuclear Bombs. The Palestinians will be inteligent enough to use  Nuclear-Bombs  for peaceful AMBITIONS.

Yes, it is true that many/most countries will block visas and deny entry if it is known that someone is entering the country to protest. However, it appears in this story, and through 50 years of Israel history, that Israel is suppressing speech and activism coming from its own citizens and residents. It appears Israeli citizens were arrested also. I am sure more than one of the protestors attempting to enter the country are Jewish, which is denying entry to its own people under their constitution.
If Israel didn't have such a poor record this isn't a story. But they do, that's why it is.

Israel is a cancer, is Iran the answer. If we can cleanse this world of Israel than ZOG falls apart and we can all truly be free.

Israel is worse than nazi Germany ever was. Nazi concentration camps operated for about 5 years while zionists keep Palestinians in concentration camps for decades. At least nazis didn't bomb their own camps but jews do this on almost daily basis killing women and children. This is genocide and a crime against humanity but for some reason the rest of the world turns a blind eye.Zionist state is not a democratic state but a pariah. It is worse than Iran, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Maybe only North Korea is on the par with it. International sanctions should be used against it but no one has the courage to start the process.BTW, has anyone figured out why Israel participates in Eurovision? It is not part of Europe, never has and never will be. Someone should raise this question and start the process to exclude this pariah state from the song festival.

I am not nazist nor anything (in fact, my father is jewish), but if you research on ALL the excuses Hitler used to turn German people against the Jews, you'll see they actually match what Israel does today.

I wonder how come most of them didn't learn anything from their past experiences. And I find funny how they are "immune" to criticism: You can't criticize them, "they are always right and we are always wrong". If one criticizes them, they call you anti-semite (like if Israel were ALL the world's Jews), a nazi or a terrorist (apparently, the new way gouvernment found to call people who opposes it, since "communist" is becoming too old).

When you go see, Israel sounds like an rich, spoiled brat, that always says "You're mean, I'm gonna call my mommy and you'll be sorry" when have to deal with such situations.

Paper Regime... if holding up a printed sign 'delegitimizes' Israel, well, expect more media blitzes! (the printer is mightier than the F15)

Welcome to Palestine!

Israel has a stranglehold over Western foreign policy. All the wars we fight we fight for them. Even now, as we seek a diplomatic solution to the tensions surrounding Iran, their right wing leadership slavers like a dog wanting war. And why does it want war? To keep the Middle East in turmoil, setting man against his brother...to keep the eyes of the world looking anywhere but at the criminal and barbaric acts it's carrying out in Palestine.

Is rael wants to hope and pray that it can continue this stranglehold over Western media and Government because, the truth is, on the street, they are seen for the sly, expansionist and manipulating nation they really are.

Any country will usually deny visas, and entry if they know that the visitors are coming, and entering the country to protest. Protests costs time and money, and unless you are a citizen of that country, you dont have the right to waste it's money because you decided to protest IN their country. I think that sounds fair.

It's interesting how a democracy does not allow protests, oh, they do allow protest but only if it matches what the government want. sounds like a dictatorship. i'm guessing there's no such thing as freedom of speech in israel unless the government approves.

No, you can not protest against israHelli occupation of the Palestine, against killing of innocent children. Jews will tell you against what you should protest.But people are awakened everywhere in the world and reject cruel and greedy jew world order. They shell not pass. Stop the occupation!
