It seems like, in your rage, you didn’t read that article at all. The people coming in say they’re just going into Palestine, and the Israeli government is calling them ‘hooligans’ (lol) and threatening to arrest them.

It seems really like a bad fuckup on the Israeli government’s part. This kind of talk is something we’ve seen before, and has bad connotations.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor says some of the activists are “hooligans,” and Israel will take the necessary measures to maintain law and order.

Thats some Saddam Hussein-worthy wordcraft there.

more, you didn’t read:

Israel believes that the fly-in was organized after an aid flotilla that planned to bring hundreds of activists to break the Israeli naval blockade on the Gaza Strip was banned from leaving ports in Greece. Activists deny that, saying it is a separate initiative that focuses on the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.

The funny thing is that they specifically claim they’re not protesting the blockade.
