Among the things the Flytilla claim:
Visitors traveling between countries have rights under international law and bilateral travel agreements. Our foreign visitors insist that they must be treated with respect in the same manner Israeli citizens receive when traveling to their countries. Those who had reservations cancelled will exercise their right of protest including bringing legal cases in their own countries. We will also bring legal cases in Israeli courts under our continued attempt to expose the racist policies of the Israeli governmentTravelers may very well have rights, but what the Flytilla forgets are the rights of the host country.
Very simply, every country has the right to a say as to who can enter and who cannot. But that matters little to the Flytilla. I suppose they, like other anti-Israel protesters, have become so used to throwing around phrases such as "international law" that they just automatically bring out the phrase "international law" whenever someone frustrates their projects.
My 3 year old son throw things.
This tactic of the self-described humanitarian activists in general and the Flytilla in particular should be a warning about how loosely these anti-Israel protesters use language--and facts--in their attempt to destabilize Israel.

You have a privilege to travel.
ReplyDeleteDaled, try boarding an airplane without a passport and ticket and see far you get.
The flyidiots don't seem to realize that one's rights can only be exercised with due regard for others. And they're not winning any friends with their stupid tactics.
As for their placing Israel under siege, that's already a flop!
