"Flytilla" Interruptus

Zion-loathers foiled by Zionists: you gotta love it!

Update: Aljazeera displays the cheeky letter Israel wrote to foiled flytillians:
Dear activist,
We appreciate your chosing to make Israel the object of your humanitarian concerns.
We know there are many other worthy objects.
You could have chosen to protest the Syrian regime's daily savagery against its own people, which has claimed thousands of lives.
You could have chosen to protest the Iranian regime's brutal crackdown on dissent and support of terrorism throughout the world.
You could have chosen to protest Hamas rule in Gaza, where terror organizations commit a double war crime by firing rockets at civilians and hiding behind civilians.
But instead you chose to protest against Israel, the Middle East's sole democracy, where women are equal, the press criticizes the government, human rights organizations can operate freely, religious freedom is protected for all and minorities do not live in fear.
We therefore suggest you first solve the problems of the region, and then come back and share with us your experience.
Have a nice flight.
Update: Martin Kramer says on Facebook:
Pro-Palestinian flytilla ‘activists’ freak out at Brussels and Paris airports, when they discover their reservations to Israel have been cancelled. Of course, they scuffle with police (see video at link). And of course, Haaretz runs an editorial calling for Israel to welcome the ‘activists’ with flowers (http://bit.ly/HHCroy). I’d cancel my subscription, but I already did.
