I'm still laughing at Hamas not really being a terrorist group, but the Country of Israel is. Has anyone called Palestine a Terrorist country?

Seriously, if you feel this strongly about it, Elvis, why the fuck aren't you on one of the boats or in Gaza building rockets?

this is an interesting question, actually. what do you DO about the situation elvis, since you care so much? do you limit yourself to pointless arguments with strangers on the internet, or do you actually do something? I care strongly about israel, abortion rights, and fixing public schools, so I donate to various charities and teach finance and creative writing classes.

No one said Hamas isn't a terrorist group. The point I'm trying to make is that they aren't simply a terrorist group and dismissing them solely as a terrorist group is highly politicized.

I also have not said that Israel is a terrorist nation. It was solanis who stated that, in response to my comment about Nelson Mandela - that person's membership in such a group stays with them forever and defines them indefinitely regardless of whatever.

I then pointed out the history of Israeli terrorism and glorification of terrorists.

Pro palestinians activists have tried to use planes to enter Israel and then Palestine:

sraeli police have arrested six pro-Palestinian activists at the country's Ben Gurion airport, the main airport in Tel Aviv.

The arrests came after officials at Israel's international airport refused entry to 69 pro-Palestinian activists on Thursday and said most would be repatriated on the first available flights.

Sabine Hadad, an immigration spokeswoman, said that four people had already flown out of Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, and the remaining 65 were in custody waiting to travel.

Thirty-four of the mostly European activists have been moved to a nearby prison pending deportation and the rest are still at the airport.

Organisers of the "Welcome to Palestine" campaign, which some have called the "flytilla", had said up to 800 activists were to fly in to Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv in a peaceful mission to visit Palestinian families.

More than 200 activists whose names are on a blacklist provided by Israeli authorities have been turned away by airlines at European airports.

Less than several dozen activists have reportedly managed to enter Israel so far, but further attempts are expected through Saturday.

Officials have been awaiting the arrival of a delayed Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt with about 20 activists on board.

Israeli authorities said they largely managed to preempt the campaign by foreign activists - most of them from France - who are demonstrating for the right of access to the West Bank.

Concerned by the growing number of confrontations with media-savvy activists and the international criticism that has often ensued, Israel has taken measures to avoid a clash this time by preventing protesters from reaching the country altogether.

According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, police and intelligence units followed social networks used by the groups organising the protest.
