These morons should have been dragged out, put in hand cuffs, transported to the nearest airport and placed on a cargo plane for their EXPORT to their home country.
I said a cargo plane out of respect for the passengers of a regular plane because they would not be permitted to get a bath until they were home. I'm sure that they really smell ripe.

Now the Israelis are wearing helmets. Nazis!

They probably do smell ripe but i'm sure that's completely normal. They probably don't bathe on a regular basis to begin with.

I'm bookmarking this one! So many relevant tidbits to be found.
The International Solidarity Movement said in a statement that the foreign activists were surrounded by priests Friday who "insulted them, pushed and shoved several of the internationals and locked all of them into one room."
Didn't I tell you that the monks were probably getting testy? LOL. I mean, there's a limit to what one can endure...
Gosh, I hope this is true.

I assume that you meant that as sarcasm.

Why is it that all these people who hate Israel so badly, just can't stay away from there?
There must be millions of us who would LOVE to have the opportunity to see Israel again, and will not have the chance, and then these God-hating fools go over there to desecrate it with their atheistic presence.

I'm thinking about this...these priests dealing with the biggest crisis of the holiest site in the world...it's on their watch and responsibility...the Orthodox and Catholics barely get along anyway...gunmen shoot their way in a pre-planned publicity "retreat" into a holy site against international law...shooting, Israeli military, must consider the local sensitivities...terrorists, gunmen, the unlucky occupying the church... Talk about stress!
Then, four weeks later, these bunch of sociopathic foreigners come running into the church to "help" - actually to self-promote themselves, note their "demand" to have a press conference.
Wouldn't you beat up these interferers too?

At least the AP didn't call them "human rights" or "peace" activists, just plain "activists".

They worshop trees, rocks, and other strange things.
Aside from the booze and butts there probably some strange tubical rubber objects that the good Father didn't recognize, these people make me ill.

In addition to the four Americans, those arrested Friday include a British citizen, 2 Swedes, a Canadian, an Irish citizen and an activist from Denmark.Heard this chick being interviewed on Fox the other day. Unbelievably self-centered and obtuse about what was going on around her. She sounded barely out of high school, was completely immersed in protesting the "inhumane violations of the Geneva convention" and the "starving of the people inside" while totally ignoring any Palestinian culpability. She needed a good shaking, at the very least. It was infuriating, saved only by the Fox anchor, who rolled her eyes, made some comment about it being necessary to expose certain viewpoints for what they really are, and called the ISM "extremely pro-Palestinian." Priceless.

The monks and priests and nuns are thinking "it's finally over, it's finally over" and just at that moment a bunch of snot-nosed foreign kids (without guns to enforce their status as "guests", BTW) announce that now THEY'RE not leaving til they get what THEY want? In their place, I'd have found something to use as a bludgeon and just kept swinging it til I felt better. I'd probably have worn myself out.
To: kattracks
Now I just want to make sure I understand.....
These idiots are claiming that they were beat up by franciscan priests while refusing to leave a church which was occupied (but recently vacated)by armed Palestinians?
What kind of justification can they possibly have for this? What a bunch of dopes!

Fox interviewed one of the female "activists" by phone from within the church the other day, and she went on and on talking about how people were starving, and she hardly had the energy to get out of bed in the morning. Now the AP reports:
reporters who entered the church Friday found a large cabinet full of food, including more than 20 bags of lentils and rice, canned goods and cooking oil. Lemons from the church garden were piled on a blanket.
Of course, no one in the media wants to dwell on this, since, as with Jenin, they all parroted the Pali propaganda line.
